Feedback wanted on the forum structure!

I like the idea of certain sections only being visible to members only, especially the health and relationship forums.

I like the idea of certain sections only being visible to members only, especially the health and relationship forums.

Would you also want to implement "members only and ONLY if you have posted xx number of times"? Because otherwise, people would only have to join or post once and then they'd be able to see everything. I like being able to share stuff with a small community and build relationships that way, but if all someone had to do was join to be able to read all of the more personal stuff? I don't know.

I like that idea. It doesn't have to be a huge number of post. 10 or 20 should suffice.

Because these threads have a tendency to only point out the bad, can I say I really like the 'like' feature, the fact that post counts aren't displayed, the alerts and how the forum generally looks very modern and sophisticated.

I also like those things. I also like the privacy settings (I love the fact I can chose who can see my profile information by selecting the "people you follow" option. It's brilliant.), I like how easy the whole forum is to navigate, and I love the chat feature on the profiles.

Just an FYI, but I'm getting alert emails even though I've unchecked "...and receive email notifications of replies." I can turn off alerts altogether for now so this is not an immediate issue, but I kind of like seeing my alerts here on the board. I just don't want to continue getting 30+ emails a day about them.

I *think* that when you change your email notification of replies it only applies to threads you post in after you've done that. For all the threads you posted in before you changed it, I think you have to un-subscribe from them manually (and then re-subscribe I suppose to get the alerts but no emails.)

I think. I know that I changed my email notification thing before I started posting anywhere and I haven't received any emails apart from conversations (which are PMs basically... )

Oh okay, thanks Annia!

I was looking at the definition of 'natural science' and it is the study of natural processes and it doesn't include maths.
But surely maths is part of the natural world....if it's not part of the natural world, what part is it from?
The only way we can understand maths is using our brains, which are part of nature, so I would think that maths is part of the natural world.

Anyway, I'm uncomfortable with the division somehow.....

The censorship is unnecessary.

Every day VV is lookin' better and better...

Karl, I love that there is a section for the different sciences. It's something that was talked about for VB but it never happened.

I'm just logging on after being at work all day, so I haven't seen whatever new changes have occurred since I left for work this morning. If you're opening up the board to all veggies, shouldn't there be, if there isn't already, a New to Veg*anism subforum? It was a good idea for VB and I think it's a good idea for VV. People come to these boards for help and support and I love the idea of helping newbies to the veg diet/lifestyle.

The censorship is unnecessary.

At the very least, the grownup section -- the section where we can post links to pornography -- should allow naughty words to go uncensored.

I am not familiar with this software, but the censor used in vBulletin can't be modified on a forum-by-forum basis. I would guess it is the same with this software. Censored words get starred out on the whole site. I think the best you could hope for would be to not get in trouble for cheating the censor in the adult section, which isn't hard to do.

 

[Freesia]

another thought I had is that under localities there is only sections for US and UK. Though I am probably the only member who is not from one of these.

Yep, I would be absolutely fine with that solution.

 

[Lord Snot]

Naughty word censorship is necessary for anyone who wants to post from work or college, which is most of us at some point.

I just visited the forum I post at most to have a look at what I like there. By far my favourite sub-forum is Advice, it's really popular and you get a great mix of serious threads and light-hearted threads. People love to give advice and we often need to ask it ourselves so that might be a good addition?

 

[Freesia]

I never thought of that! There are a few Canadian members though. I am the only one in my hemisphere here : ) though perhaps that might change if newbie members find this board.

Or you could just move over here with us.

What kind of advice? Life advice? Relationship advice? Health advice? Personal advice? Tech advice?

A forum for just advice is too vague and I think would clutter up the board too much. Most advice can probably be given and asked for under the existing forums. Anything else could probably go in the Lounge.
