Random idea about forum layout

DAmwake 08 Mar 2010 17:40

First off let my start by saying I love what you have done with the place. The drapes are gorgeous, lovely carpet, etc.

My only suggestion would be to re-layout the forum. I think as it stands right now this site has WAY too many forums and sub-forums. Most of these could and should be combined to be about half as many as we have now.

I don't want anyone to think I am complaining because I am honestly very happy with the changes, but I think the forum needs some work. I am the lead admin at another forum site (not gonna plug it lol) and I know we had the same problem when we first opened up. You tend to get more activity when the topics are a tad broader. The misc topics under each section is also rather redundant, especially with the large number of forums.

I'd agree about the misc one. I'll pm stooge when I get a chance and see about getting them removed.
I think we're all just a bit amazed at the overload of activity on here..

lol, we were always here.. we just never bothered registering before. This is why I said the redesign was great, I doubt it actually got new people to come here, more likely it just got people of their bums (like myself) to register. Awesome work :)

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback and the kind words on the work we have been doing. Yes, you are right about the forums, I am condensing things now that Ilkar pointed out your thoughts (and apparently others). That and it is very obvious that there are certain areas being hammered and others have gotten zero posts.

I think this Forum is awesome !
It's about a month that i'm reading the wiki, and the creation of the Forum has been a nice surprise :D
Just one question, will it be possible to use images as signatures and not only text ?
Thanks

Forum images in the sig is possible for me, but I paid for a pro account so i don't know if that is an option for everyone.

If you do have the option then in the upper right corner click on "My Account"
On your account page you should have a "My Profile" link, click on that
On this page over to the right you should see "forum signature" that will set your signature for every forum on every wiki across all of wikidot. You just need an image somewhere.

DO NOT use anything that is vulgar, offensive, or takes up half the damn page. Keep it small. Just use your common sense.
