Sub-fora

[Renard]

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but it occurred to me when I was looking at frontpage of the forum that it is beginning to make CC look like a fledgling ACF. Granted its not exactly a major issue but I prefer a simple layout and think this development is unwelcome.

i beg to differ. in any case, the problems with acf were unrelated to the layout of the site…

yacf is a lot more in keeping with sam's place, graphically speaking.

I think it depends entirely how you access posts and how often you drop in. If, like I used to, you go to specific fora, a proliferation is a pain. If you use the new posts or today's posts, it's less of a problem.

proliferation of sub fora

There's only 5 additional small links under the description of the parent forums - it's not all that bad is it?

I thought it was an improvement as you can now access those few sub-fora with a single click from the homepage.

I'm aware that some forums can end up with so many individual fora that navigation becomes a bit of a bind, however I think the current balance at CC is okay for now.

I may, in the future, consolidate some of the forums to reduce the total overall number, but obviously I'll discuss this with everyone first.

Cheers,
Shaun

I think it's ok now. (And I do go to individual forums rather than use new posts). I wouldn't want to see many (or any) more though....

Alex, I am not saying that this place is anything like acf but what did put me off ever joining was the confusing layout.

What I like about CC is the simple layout and I think it should stay that way.

Well, hopefully we can accommodate you there - I'm definately a fan of keeping it simple.

It's also good to re-evaluate every now and then to see if things can be improved, streamlined, or just plain left as they are.

I'm also open to suggestions from CC members as it's you and other users that make this the interesting place it is, and your input is always valuable even if I don't eventually go with an idea.

On the back of your post this morning I've put some ideas forward in the mods forum that may or may not make it into the forums.

Cheers,
Shaun

Thanks Shaun , no it isn't. Just an observation on my part really but something I think should be guarded against. What I like about CC is the simple layout and I think it should stay that way.

I'd agree with that 100%. Less is more and anything that encourages mingling has to be more positive that creating more sub-fora.

Can we have a 'swapping a cheese-and-pineapple-onna-stick-for-a-chicken-volauvent' sub-forum please?

Have you got any of those little sausages?

No, it's just the way I'm standing!

I had a bit of a panic when you bowled me that one. There were just too many options to choose from!
