Ratch Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Can I suggest (is it possible to) re-order the subforums. I think it would be better if they were laid out as follows -Wish ListKitstarterWorkbenchAerodromeAircraftShips & BoatsMilitary VehiclesCarsFigures, Dioramas & SceneryGeneral DiscussionThe Airfix ClubCommunity BuildsForum & Website FeedbackLet's face it, many folks come on to plead for their most desired kit, so Wishlist posts get posted in General Discussion, Kitstarter , Aircraft or anywhere before they get down to the appropriate forum. Having Wishlists down at the bottom means most don't look right down there. Keep Kitstarter up there (if you wish to keep promoting it), along with Workbench and Aerodrome as these promote the newsworthy Airfix developments. Then in to modelling genres before General Discussion (off topic & chit-chat), The Airfix Club, Community Builds and Feedback.Just an idea.

vimal_indrasoma Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I agree, General Discission, being more on the lines of 'Any Other Business' should come towards the bottom.Within the individual fora (?) the topics should perhaps be ordered by activity, with the more moribund ones being archived off page when they exceed a set level of inactivity. That would help keep the focus on subjects of general interest, and some form of activity alert or subscription system would be nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_fleming Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Seems sensible, but no more splits. Keep them generic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebeep Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Well thought out Ratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Mock Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 That seems very reasonable and logical, I wouldn't add any more sub-forums and I'd keep separate threads for different builds rather than trying to amalgamate them into one thread.

feanor Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Is this Whole Place now just a gigantic sub forum of the ATF ? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 Further to my earlier post, I've had a re-think...Wish ListAircraftShips & BoatsMilitary VehiclesCarsFigures, Dioramas & SceneryGeneral DiscussionWorkbenchAerodromeThe Airfix ClubCommunity BuildsKitstarterForum & Website Feedback The General Discussion is just turning into another Aircraft Forum because folks don't bother to look down the page. Lots of posts need moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmcabecadas Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The main issue is posts not being moved in due time. The current order is fine to me, but a quick change drop box could be interesting. To me, the question is about moderation and features, without it, there is no order who can correct how people behave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Why is it that folks cannot post in the correct forum?Everything gets posted in General Discussion! Its hardly worth having separate forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-muc Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Because there is a drop-down menu with General Discussion at first place. Posters don't think of choosing the correct forum before submititing the post. Instead they click ok and then it is in General Discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
