Website Comments by OLENAMIRONYCHEV

Maybe it is just me, but wouldn't it make more sense to have the latest reviews on the front page? Right now I see recent activity (which is nice), I see Members drinking (who cares!?!?!), and I see hottest discussions (which is nice). I think that most recent reviews should replace the recent activity, and a 'Recent Activity' box should join the 2 on the right side with Members Drinking being the least important of the 3. When BeerPal removed the recent reviews in 2018, they lost a lot of regulars (like me). ZX Ventures was going to reinstate them but never did.

I'm not happy with the home page, but you're right. Especially since there are already two other menu items to see who is drinking.

Eventually I want to give people the option to choose what they want to see on the home page. 

I also plan to put a notice at the top of the home page for new users. A 'Welcome to BeerPal' with tips on how to get starded. It will keep showing up until they dismiss it.

There have actually been quite a few new members this week, about a half dozen a day. Most of them have verified their accounts, but then they look at the home page and maybe one other and never come back. I think having this 'Tips" notification, and maybe a FAQ will help nudge them in the right direction and make them want to stick around.

@Flashpro I like the idea of being able to customize the home page. I think part of the reason new members leave is that this site is still missing a LOT of the current favourite breweries in America and Europe today.

@PaulCardom None of the new members (except for one I think) since BP3.0 have looked at enough pages to even know what breweries are on the site! Other than the home page, they typically look at the Dashboard and the "Add a Beer" link.
