Feedback wanted on the forum structure!

Does anyone have a problem if I start the UK product thread?
It was a good thread on ahem...yeah. But its was VERY helpful for us UK veg*ns to find vegan stuff!


Also a prefrence of mine is being able to see peoples general locations on their avatar at the side,without having to click the picture to find out. Very helpful for giving out advice, because its pointless telling us Brits to get down to Trader Joes etcetc

Just go to Trader Joe's.

*epic facepalm*

No worries

I did choose not to watch ANY threads in my prefrences though

I assume maybe you did that after having started to watch a couple of threads? Then you just need to unwatch those couple of threads and you'll be fine. The preference setting is actually about whether you want the "watch this thread" tickbox automatically checked when you post in a thread.

Thanks I think Im set now

I really like that the post count is not so prominently displayed. The post count thing always seemed very elitist to me.
Someone who makes fewer posts can be just as valuable a member as someone who posts more frequently.

I agree and I love this forum format in general. Less is better!

Could the time restriction on posting be reduced a bit? I post somewhere and have time to go back to the front page and then into a new sub-forum, thread, read and reply and it still tells me I can't post again for X number of seconds.

Hm, I thought the limit was set by default to 30 seconds, which I thought was a reasonable setting. I will lower it a bit since it's something a couple of others have mentioned as a problem as well.

Edit: I've just set the limit to 15 seconds.

Can we get some type of frugal forum?

I too would like to see a Vegetarian section. I wouldn't feel comfortable posting in the Vegan section since I'm not a vegan.

Is there any way to change the way we view threads (ascending order as opposed to descending order, etc.) after we set it the first time? I'm sorry to post this AGAIN, but I'm still getting used to this new site.

We need WAY more smileys.

A Veggie Patch equivalent would be good.

A Fun and Games forum would be, er, fun.

Is there a section for discussion of our pets? I haven't seen anything, but as I said, I'm still tootling around the board and checking everything out.

That's funny.

I think that's The Lounge here

And I think that would be under Animal Family and Friends

I used to review new products, so I would love to see a review section. Also, since we have a vegan section, shouldn't we have a vegetarian section?

 

[thefadedone]

Yes to a review section . I love reading your reviews Sleepydvdr. Not only have they saved me from wasting money on new products, but they are so detailed and interesting!

I also second the more smileys and vegetarian sections. A vegetarian section might attract more people, especially those that are working their way towards veganism.
