    One simple suggestion for leading more visitors to the groups:

    Move the "Activity"-tab one step left so that it is next to the "Headlines"-tab and give them a different colour. "Headlines" and "Activity" are in my opinion the two best ways of reading Imodeler, one will (quite obviously) give you the headlines and the other one will summarize recent activity in the forums. I have a nagging suspicion that very few visitors venture beyond "Headlines"...

    Regards

    I have to agree with Magnus. It appears that groups is less utilised than headlines, which is apity because theres been some great articles or topics on there that have petered out due to an apparent lack of feed back or interest:(

    OK. Thanks for the input. I'll start by swapping the Activity and Group navigation tabs.
    By the way, is there a better name for the "Activity" tab - it feels a bit dry to me.

    The obvious way to get people to click on it would probable be "What's new" 🙂 !

    Will you do a repaint of the two tabs as well? I might have some spare pink left over from one of my daughter's latest hobby projects if your'e out of suitable paint... 🙂

    Regards

    Sounds good to me! It will be intersting to see if this leads to more use of the groups pages. Personally i check everything not just headlines, as we can't all be churning out loads of models every week. Here's hoping...:)

    Spot on, Magnus! Changing "Activity" to "Whats New" is a very good idea. I would like to suggest that "Members" be re-titled "Members Gallery".
