lol, I just used MSpaint and moved a few things around. I could do one for you guys if you want.

[lady gaga]

Did you tell him ras siyan that we are also fighting for them lol and yeah please make one and pleas visit the Sudanese new layout thread there us something we need tto discus

[yosef]

Okay so I got a reply from Jan and he recommends we go with 4 sections like this:

Looking at the current state of the Ethiopean section I would recommend:

Project News and Development
Urban Discussions (infrastructure, architecture, urban planning, existing structures)
Photo forums
Off Topic (i.e. everything else)

These 4 sections pretty much cover the main areas of interest around here.

Let me know what you think of this.

Cheers,
- Jan

What do you guys think?
I think we will just get rid of the Transport & Inf. section and still have the three bars (if Djibouti is a go depending on the Djibouti forumers). Not too bad but less than we hoped obviously.

Hmm. I could see why. It seems like it would shrink a bit. But, what if it were organized like this below:

thanks. I'll give Jan that copy and see if we can get an approval.
We are waiting for the Djibouti posters to agree first though, Ras Siyan is discussing it with all of them I think.

Yeah I wanted to give Photo Galleries it own bar but the worry is that some of the sections in there may not be as active and we may end up with dead sections in the end. The bigger forums do have photo galleries in its own section though.

Hey I finished the Sudan layout and posted it in your thread by the way: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpo...4&postcount=76

[lady gaga]

Well im concern too about the Sudanese one maybe i should change ??!

Yosef to be honest I don't really see any problem with the current structure. What could be done is to divide "Projects, Development & Construction" into

- Addis ababa
- General Ethiopia

Yeah its true, not much a difference. Just a little organizing with the new one.

But dont you like the new Bar separators (Project & Constru., Djibouti, Club Forums)?..it would put Projects, Economic news in one section and Bunna Bet & Photos in another. Just to make it a little bit neater.

Also if we get Djibouti forumers on board it would mean adding their forum.

I'm ok with the bar separations but I'm not sure about including Djibouti in the Ethiopian section..
