Forum suggestions

17 replies

Since there's no subforum for suggestions on how to improve the forum, I simply start a thread here. πŸ˜‰

When viewing the list of  threads, I'd like to see who started it. You can see who posted the last reply, but sometimes it's interesting to see who the creator is before you decide whether to view it or not.

For example:

Any opinions on this?
 

I agree with fridsten, I would be nice to see who started the topic.
I am also for this idea, although not essential. I think we had this on the old BeoWorld.
It would be usefull if not only the replies were counted on the forum site, but also the number of times a thread was read, like the old forum did. This was a fine way to find out if a thread was interesting or not.

I actually prefered the old forum when it was working, sorry to say so.

What I miss most is still the "return current to forum" link in the bottom of each thread.

Is Van still about, Lee?
When viewing "Post you have not read" I would like to see which forum it is in.
Often I'll click on something like "Beotalk 1200" only to find it's in flippin' Dutch or French.😠

Also a  clickable button to "oldest post on this thread that you have not viewed"
Now that the hullabaloo of the first prize draw is over, is there any chance you could start working on these things?Huh?
Oh, and while I'm picking on you--- Anything happening with the Struer photo's?

P.S. Still love ya to bitz😁

Lets not overrun Lee and his team with requests. If you consider that the site was launched only 2 months ago and has not been down one single time since, that's a huge progression from the old forum to this one. I think they know as well that there are improvements to be made, but we are in no hurry.

No, lets keep your issues coming in! They are all ideas to push the site forward.

However - please, please, please remember that Community Server is an "off the shelf" program designed by Telligent, and not Firebrand.  It's like going into you local high street menswear shop, buying a pair of trousers off the rack and then asking the assistant to take 2cm off the length, change the pockets, bring the waist in 3cm and then dye them a different colour.  It's may all be possible - but it costs extra as they will have to custom-write it for us.

There are plenty of features that are superior to the old forum, but yes - there are some that are inferior.  The new forum is a hell of a lot more reliable for a start!

I will of course take on board as many of these things as i can and present them to Van, who also wants the very best for the site - and we will see what we can do! Keep the suggestions coming.

At this moment in time though, i may be a little less active on the forums due to commitments at LifeStyle AV.  I spent almost 6 months unpaid doing BeoWorld, and neglecting LifeStyle - and seeing as LifeStyle is (heavily) financially supporting BeoWorld at the moment - i need to be there earning money!  I too have a mortgage and bills like everyone else. πŸ™
