Yeah, something like that. I mean, something to make it a little bit easier to understand on the actual front page. Some kind of "explanation", whether by numbers or maybe something like "sorted by date" somewhere or something.

The way I'm looking at is that, AFAIK, most CMSs / portals have their front page layouts with just a single column in the middle and the newest / featured is on the top and everything else is rotated by date. Which is the same for TP, except the different layout options. So, I think that could be pretty confusing to people if someone comes to a site and sees two columns in the middle with some items on top, etc. They may not understand, for example, that the newest and featured items are on top and that the others rotate from newest to oldest down the left column and then the same to the right side column, etc.

Just something to make it more user-friendly and easier to understand, on the actual front page.


But isnt that depend upon the webmaster/designer who made that page? I mean i could not get your point. Would it be difficult for an end user or for admin?

Well, I mean, however it may be possible, to create a visual for regular users / non-admins just to help them understand the different layout options.

Chodry, if you're not an Alpha Tester, you may not know what I'm talking about. There are some layout changes for .9.1 + that you won't know about unless you're an Alpha Tester as they haven't been released to the Beta Testers, yet.
