Forum Layout Suggestions
« on: October 13, 2008, 02:17:05 PM »

Whilst moving something today, I was having a glance at some of the forums posts.. and now that the forums are slightly growing, I thought that perhaps some of it could do with a bit of re-organisation. Theres perhaps some topics that are too broad, and theres some sections that could perhaps do with adding. ie revisit "adsl technology" and have a specific adsl problem section.

ATM theres nowhere specific for things like email, web browsers, webhosting and general internet speed, and theres no real "home" for some things , so I was thinking of perhaps creating a new Internet Section which could hold some of these.
Something along the lines of

Broadband Access

  • ADSL issues
    ~ General ADSL Broadband problems.
  • Broadband Technology
    ~ Discussions about adsl and broadband technology
  • Broadband Hardware
    ~modems, routers, cables and other broadband hardware
  • ISPs
    ~ ISP Discussion.


Internet

  • E-mail & Web-browsing
    ~ Email & Web browser issues & discussion
  • General Internet
    ~ Internet related issues. inc other internet software and access.
  • Web Design and Web Hosting
    ~ Web Hosting & Design Discussion
  • Interesting Websites
    ~ Links to interesting websites

Ideas, thoughts, improvements?
You guys use it - so your feedback is appreciated.

Same here, I like having things more streamlined (pigeonholed)

Just one suggestion!
Is it possible to have a "Sticky" at the top of each topic (Please read before posting) asking people to try and supply as much details of their PC as possible. "Or something on those lines"
Thanks.

Certainly OF. - GMTA

One of the things I was thinking of doing anyhow in the adsl problem section is putting up a checklist of things they should do before posting.

If I get chance I'll start creating the new sections tonight and moving some stuff over.. but Im up early tomorrow and out all day so dont know how much I'll get done.

If anyone would like to do any draft suggested stickies etc for the other sections - or even any other suggestions it would be mucho appreciated.

okies - set up the new sections and shifted a lot of stuff around.
I still need to complete the broadband section, but all the rest should now be done.
Need to go get at least 5 hours kip :)

Wow! That was quick. :)

I think we might further clean things up by deleting most of the MOVED messages, apart from those referring to very recent postings.

[Edit] Actually I now see that Kitz has already done that, and the only ones remaining relate to live threads.

Might be an idea while you are doing a bit of clearing up Eric to remove some of the threads in the the games and chit chat sections that have not been posted in for quite a while.

OOooo oo ooo, lots of new bits to play with.  ;D

Well done Kitz, and thank you.  :clap2:

Just wondering if we should not have a Naughty Corner section where you can post the names of the latest miscreants for all the world to see.  >:D
