The layout of the site

I would like to know your opinions regarding the layout of the site. Currently the top right menu can be along the left. Please let me your preference. I somehow like https://community.openai.com/ format better.

aesthetically, the sidebar might be better. But I want to show the categories as a column to push users to explore different fields. For example, someone might not never want to explore the education category if it’s not so noticeable. i can also adjust the width of the two columns

not sure what you mean by

@Haodong initially, I believe for visitors (not signed in yet), there is a welcome message similar like openai community. I believe we need this so that anybody who is new to this site can feel enouraged to try.

A welcome banner is added.


You can customize it at https://community.cdmhub.org/admin/customize/themes/5
It’s set to display for guest users only.
I also disabled the search box unless you really want that.

I moved the sidebar to the left side, I think the previous layout was too crowded on the top. @Haodong

I adjusted the column width. Let me know if you like it. @Wenbin @bagla0 @Avinash @banghuazhao @su.tian.22 @SichenLiu @ejunli

@Haodong is it possible to change FAQ to Guideline at FAQ - cdmHUB Community. What is listed there is really Guidelines not FAQs. We can add another tab for FAQ if possible.

Can you check current set up? But honestly, this is the first time I find the about pages of discourse . I have been on forums using discourse for very long time. @Wenbin

Solution:

Click the “three-bar” icon on the top left

Click the “phone” icon at the bottom of the side panel

Then the UI should be changed to fit the phone
