Feedback wanted on the forum structure!

Spoiler

I'm not seeing anything in there. Did you write something in the spoiler tag? Or just trying out the tag itself?

 

[thefadedone]

Woah ok confused. Quoting someone who has a spoiler tag will automatically put your response in a spoiler tag?

That's weird, and potentially annoying...

 

[Rosie1]

I think maybe he wrote [ spoiler ] inside of the spoiler tags themselves...? And that just transferred....or something.

It seems you can multi quote posts that are on the same page, just by clicking 'reply'. The post you want to quote appears in the reply box.

 

[schmencer]

Yeah, that was just a blank tag. I was a bit gone last night.

Just got this warning on the food porn thread.

What? Digifract.com is my site. I only use it to store files and host images. No malware from there.

Yep, for some reason, Google thinks there's something bad there. Oh well.

Edit: I moved the picture to my other website. I haven't even really used digifract.com very much. I'm going to go ahead and cancel it with the hoster. It won't do any good if people get scary messages saying it will harm their computer.

I have decided to give up my websites. They were just a hobby, but upon closer look, they were costing me quite a bit of money and I have been using them mostly just for storage (I had 5 of them under my name). To host pics for now on, I will use ImageShack or something like it.

Anyways, I am getting a bit serious in my thoughts of a well-rounded Reviews section. I can see it as a full-blown section where most every veg*n product gets a review. Below, I am inserting a layout that I think would work out well, at least for the food part. As for the non-food part, I haven't thought about that yet. In addition to this, I think an alphabetical listing of products by manufacturer name, product name and product type would be great, too. I.S., let me know your thoughts on this. Is this feasible?

There is now Feel free to suggest a snazzier name tho.

Thanks. I don't know how snazzy this would be, but maybe home and garden, and that way we can talk about DIY stuff too.

Is there a way to mark all the threads in certain forum or something as read? Also, is there a way to block certain forums from the 'what's new?' category? (I keep nearly replying to American/Canadian threads)

 

[Alice-Bee]

I have a suggestion. Seeing as this is a safe place for us to talk veg*n shop. Perhaps making it so you have to have an account to view threads, members profiles etc would be good. i dont like the idea that anti vegan people can view our conversation. Or perhaps even lurking members of other nameless forums etcetc.

 

[Spang]

I think forums that promote the veg*n diet/lifestyle/etc. should be viewable by everyone.

 

[Alice-Bee]

Even the parts where we bad mouth meat eaters (ie stupid things omnis say)
Personally I dont like the idea that people can lurk and watch us without signing up.

 

[Second Summer]

sleepy, thanks for this! It would be nice to have some kind of rating feature for the reviews, so I've been looking at add-ons for Xenforo that might be suitable, but haven't found any that would work well yet. I did find an interesting business directory add-on, but I don't think it had a rating system included. Anyway, I could just go with a sub-forum structure like you suggest here. I'll think about it some more ....

And Pickle Juice, that makes sense. I will probably change it in a bit to your suggestion.

I don't think threads should be hidden for non-members, except for certain areas. In the longer term, it's my hope that people can find us through google and other search engines, so hiding threads would not be helpful then. Member profiles on the other hand should be hidden. I changed some settings the other night that I thought would hide them all - let me know if any are still accessible to non-members ....

 

[Alice-Bee]

Ok. I supose as long as profiles are hidden thats good...Lurkers are my pet peeve and creep me out!

The ones you already read that don't have new posts appear in a lighter color and the new unread ones show up darker, bolded and have a little circle in the front of the title.

Yep, I know... I wanted a way of marking all the threads from a certain forum as being read, even if i hadn't actually read them, if that makes sense. There's a button for marking everything ever as being read, but I just wondered if there was a way to do it for everything in, say, the introductions section or something

Oh I see. Yeah I have no clue about that.

I really like Sleepydvdr's review suggestion. I look forward to seeing how that develops.

Are we able to have exchanges and swaps?
