AS,

As you guys know, we launched our own urdu news website at urdu.siasat.pk and a blog section at blog.siasat.pk

Now we wanted to bring everything together on the main page with the forum, therefore we are working on a new main page.


Please have a look and give use your feedback. Please note, that this is still work in progress.

This will be way faster than the current page, when completed.

It will work better on mobile as well.

look forward to hear your feedback.

Thanks
Abbasi

Keep ads on the side panels not in the middle. Also try to make your site more colorful instead of overwhelmingly green.

Also bring Jameel Noori Nastaleeq and other Urdu fonts back.

  1. [*]ہر بندے کے لئے اپنا ڈیفالٹ ویو سیٹ کرنے کا آپشن ہونا چاہیے ، یعنی میں چاہتا ہوں کہ "آل فیڈ " کی بجائے "فورم " فوکسڈ ہو . اسی طرح اگر ڈیفالٹ فونٹ سیٹ کرنے کا انتظام ہو جائے تو کیا کہنے
    [*]تھریڈ کے ٹائٹل میں کمنٹس کی تعداد کی بجائے ممبر کے پسندیدہ لوگوں کے کمنٹ کا ذکر ہو . یعنی اس تھریڈ میں میرے دوست ، یا وزیر آزم لیول کے بندے نے کمنٹ کیا یا نہیں ، یہ تھریڈ کے ٹائٹل پر ہی نظر آ جائے

یہ بات ظاہر ہے کہ فورم انتظامیہ ماڈریشن نہیں کر پا رہی ، اس لئے کچھ ممبران کو بھی ماڈریشن کے اختیارات دے دیے جایئں
یعنی تھریڈ پر کسی خاص ممبر کو مزید کمنٹ سے روکنے کا اختیار ، یا اس کے کمنٹ عام لوگوں کے سامنے نہ آئیں صرف اس کے دوستوں کے سامنے آئیں وغیرہ وغیرہ

Please keep the old tested theme. Do not mix them together. The sample page is not easy on eyes in term of arrangement of items.

Do whatever you want to do, just keep it quick to load in nanoseconds!
Secondly, the option to dislike a post and if 25 dislikes reach the post, it shall be archived automatically and doesn't appear as current.

One reason that reddit has got famous is because it has an option to down vote the content. Siasat.pk is often used by propagandist to spread hate and disappointment. Down vote button will help filter them.

Improve blogs and posts by initiated siasat.pk most of them are about cheap news of showbiz and personalities like hareem shah, reham, marvi etc.
Its more like Masala.pk...

Well here are my 2 cents

I have been here for over a decade but since the last layout change, my visits have dropped massively because of 2 reasons:

1. There are always at least 3 (or even more sometimes) video ads auto-playing on every single page, and clicking to stop each one is really annoying

2. Using the browser navigation is impossible as the page always reloads from the very first post whenever you press back in the browser. That is annoying if you visits after a while and are on older threads but the browser will always take you back to top and you will have to 'view more' to find where you were. (The way around that is the 'arrow' button on the thread titles but that is not visible sometimes if the thread title is longer, like this one too) and in that case you have to right click and open in a new tab)


Now having seen the demo page.
1. It still has the same amount of video ads.
2. Even the Arrow link is gone and browser back button is still useless for older threads.

So I guess the site navigation is about to become even more user unfriendly.

Make Siasat.pk abuse free. Abuses are of no help they are just destroying the debate culture . Those who abuse their account should be blocked. New members should not be able to create thread directly but need to get an approval whereas medium level or senior level members should be able to post thread directly. Ban anyone who abuses and may be we should try to minimize the affect of paid trolls

Problem is the admin and moderator team is always on the extreme end of things. Either there is too much or nothing at all. Before there was strict censorship even words like pagal would automatically get censored, then one fine day I dunno what happened it became a free for all.

Oh and does that mean this becomes strictly English then? Because around 70% content here is already in Urdu.
