Ossian1488303077 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I tried to put this on the CTUG agenda yesterday, but apparently you can't put items on the agenda if you don't goto the meeting. I'll never be able to go to the meeting (because I work), so I'll ask it here.I'm sure there is some rationale, but I haven't seen it stated anywhere.I do realize that it's not "hidden" -- but it's listed with three read-only items,and it's very easy to miss.

Irene Muni Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Does anyone (Resident or Linden LOL) know when this forum will no longer be hidden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will look at notifying more people that this forum is here. The old forum really ended up with a majority of the posts NOT being related to the platform feedback topic.

Peewee Musytari Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 How about making it less hidden but that you can only start a thread here with a certain rank or higher?. Even if you choose a low rank such as the 2nd or 3rd one from the bottom it should help a bit, because it was mostly first time posters that were making a mess before and it is unlikely that someone would come here with their first post being a genuine forum feedback issue.

Who cares about the reaction of people that don't look here every day... lol. Seriously, here's my thought: I don't know if something like this is even possible but if so... set it up so that when someone clicks the Start a Thread button a disclaimer pops up stating the purpose of the forum and requires the person to click a "Continue" or a "Cancel" button. That might clear up some confusion before a person posts here, even if they haven't previously paid attention to what exactly is it's intended purpose. Just a thought...

Irene Muni Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Qwalyphi and Dresden interesting ideas but yo are assuming thar Residents READ, and I'm not sure of that (yes, I know, I'm a bad person LOL). I'm the administrator of a Spanish forum. The only way I know for order in the subfrums is the administrator (or moderators) moving threads Edfted for typos.

Luc Starsider Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 You mean it should only come up when you start a new thread? And only in the feedback forum? That could work. A bit of a hassle clearing away a pop-up, but not too bad. Better than hiding the forum in a corner like now, I think. - Luc - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peewee Musytari Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Well really it was only sposed to be hidden from you Luc, cos you are always broken, but you found it anyway so that plan backfired. LOLOL hehe just kidding, love ya really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dresden Ceriano Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Yeah... doesn't have to be a pop up, maybe just a redirect page... especially when people can block pop-ups. Then, the problem is... can it be done? I have no idea what can be done with the Lithium software. It certainly wouldn't stop people from posting things here that shouldn't be. But I think it would probably help more than sticking it in a sidebar with even less of an explanation as to it's intended use, as it is now. It was just an idea off the top of my head. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dresden Ceriano Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The main point of my idea is that it might prompt people to actually read it before they post... if nothing else I think it might help cut down on incorrect topics being posted, not illuminate them... which just stashing it away doesn't really accomplish if you think about it. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc Starsider Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'm sure it is possible - anything is possible, right? The forum gets a bit lost in the sidebar, and is slightly different 'in nature' than the other links in the sidebar. Thus, nobody thinks that there is a forum behind the links. And the feedback forum is needed. Moving it, or at least making it more prominent than it is now, and giving a pop-up or other alert type thing on creating new threads is to live with. After all, it is a special purpose forum. - Luc - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dresden Ceriano Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Maybe I should add it to next weeks CTUG agenda, if there even is one. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Starsider Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I agree. Even if Lexie is on top of this thread and the ideas in it, if nothing else, it would be good to get an update on what is going on with the forum. - Luc - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
