Proposed Changes For Our Forums

[john]

Hey Gang

 

Our boards used to be organised according to function, which is alright if you know what you want. Members regularly complained that they couldn’t find stuff on site. 
 

So we introduced the “Interest” view of the boards, a goal oriented view. To bridge the reorganise we kept the old view too, currently the “Main Forums” section.

 

To avoid duplication of boards, the boards live in one place, and the other view just links to that same board. The trouble comes if you try to carry out an action, such as create post, where you are then promoted where to create the post. The linked version of boards are just greyed out and cannot be selected.

 

So, it may well be a good time to start removing the duplicate links to simplify board navigation.

 

I’d welcome your opinions...  Ideas are very welcome too!

 

Cheers
