    What Style Should be the Default For New Users? 5

    1. The current choice, which is called "Mavira" (2) 40%
    2. Calypso, a blue theme (1) 20%
    3. "Modern Flat UI" (1) 20%
    4. Soft Layout (1) 20%
    5. Black Swan, a "dark" theme (0) 0%
    6. Fire, a black and red theme (0) 0%
    7. Grey Nova (0) 0%
    8. Lotus (0) 0%
    9. Norvip (0) 0%
    10. Pixels (state color in your reply comment (0) 0%

    The theme / style of the forum can easily be changed by selecting "Style" at the bottom right of the page (while on a computer; probably not on a cell phone). So this question is not "What style do you like best?" but "What style do you think appeals to the most people to keep them hooked on their first visit?" And this post is also a test of the "poll" feature - let us know what you think!

    Notes:

    (1) Several of the styles, including Lotus, Norvip, Black Swan, Modern Flat, and each of the Pixel choices, keep the navigation bar and status icons in a bar at the top of the page even as you scroll downward - that's a handy feature that the default Mavira doesn't have.

    (2) Actually my current favorite may be "Modern Flat" which isn't to light, isn't too dark, but is somewhere in the between.

    I selected Mavira in the poll just to test if the polling result looked. I tend to think that "material" design probably appeals to most people, but I could be wrong. Let us know your thoughts and help us test the polling option.

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com

What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:

  • First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
  • Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
  • Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
