Forums Index - New structure for 2008

Carole wrote:

You'll notice that the Forums main Index page and the hierarchical structure of the Forums as a whole has been re-vamped, which I'm hoping will make for easier navigation. The whole content of all our Forums had (in my view) become too hefty for viewing all on the one page. All the Forums now viewable separately - Just click on the link on the main Index page to the Forum you want - once in each separate forum you'll then see our old familiar displays and content, and any included sub-boards.

I'd be grateful for any comments about the new structure - is this preferable to the old format? And if you preferred the old format - why?

And if you have any suggestions for future improvements you'd like to see - I'll be glad to receive those here too. good stuff!!

I might get used to the way we are now but I have clicked the welcome banner at the top for so long I still try to do it now.... :ck-hrrmm:

Hi Maxine,

I think I realised what you mean - when I just now went to post a Welcome to our newest member. Is this what you were meaning......
I went into the Forum WELCOME and Announcements
the I automatically clicked on the top Board which was
Announcements, Polls, Help Files, FAQs - when really I wanted the Board "New Members Welcomes & Introductions":ck-hrrmm: & I think I've been making that same error, ever since I changed the arrangement!!

So now changed them around - in that Forum.........
now at the top is the Board New Members Welcomes & Introductions
and the Announcement Board below that.

Think that makes more sense too. good stuff!!
