Forum Real Estate question for operations/admin

First of all, THANKS to Rajiv Khanna and to you(admin) for maintaining such a useful forum.

Please take this as constructive criticism:

When I get to the VSC forum
(ImmigrationPortal Forums > ImmigrationPortal.com > US Immigration > Immigrant Visas (Green Cards) > I-485 Issues > 485 issues in Vermont Service Center )

it is pretty hard to see threads on the main area of the page. I am not a website designer but following are the observations.

There are so many things taking the prime real estate:
1. Law firm header (reduce the size?)
2. quick links to immigration.com
3. LAGRE disclaimer (definitely reduce the size and add forum buttons right there)
4. Forum buttons
5. URL tracker
6. Active users in forum (take it to bottom)
7. Forum (archives and tracker - can be at the bottom)
8. Actual header (thread, thread starter etc.)
9. Green Card petition online (combine in ONE usable link)
10. Important case 1 - always up there (combine in ONE usable link)
11. Important case 2 - always up there (combine in ONE usable link)

If you take all of these I can only see one actual thread in this page. That is when I have good screen resolution and I am viewing I.E browser in FULL SCREEN mode. And I have played with the screen settings also.

I don't know about others but to me this is annoying, can you do something about it? There are several obvious things that you can do to address this. Plus you can reduce the font size.

Again, this is obviously not a critical issue, because I still come here all the time. It is a usage comfort issue.

Thanks for your attention.

Also, I had posted this earlier in the forum:

We have decreased the font size of the disclaimer. We shall work more on this as soon as we get a chance.


Thanks
 
Thanks very much. Appreciate your prompt response.

And yes now I do see just more than three threads (3.5) on the page, where as earlier I was able to see only one. :)

This is a good start. I look forward to other changes also. I hope others will find this helpful too.

Thanks again.
