How about a new look forum?

You're new here, are'nt you :)))

personally i think its great the way it is. i might only own a campervan type of motorhome but i like to read all parts of the forum.
The questions and answers forum is great, always a quick reply on all subjects

Woody WOODY Shame onya . have noticed the line of links above your post

Home / Forum / Trader / Shop / Topics / Places / etc

Some Mothers do ave em

.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Or alternatively, fix it till it is. This site ain't broke!

I'm not saying it is broken, its just funny how the posts are all sorts of questions, jumbled up when it could be made easier to navigate with different sections like all the other types of forums out there like fishing and 4wd forums.
I love this forum and have picked up some handy info over the years that I have been logging on.....so no I'm not new, just quiet.

Woody

Sorry it was only a mere suggestion, didnt mean to upset anyone out there. I think its great you like it as it is.

Is there a meaning behind your name Snake?

Woody

Yes Woody

Sometimes when you genuinely have a question you want answered then it does go through too fast at the expense of OT posts.

But really it shouldn't change. a lot of times the OT posts are the most interesting and fun.

To be honest i didn't think people felt so strongly about buying a particular brand of car fridge over another brand!

The forum is great as it is, no need to chance a thing. I really enjoy the eclectic nature of the discussions and it often promps consideration of issue that I hadn't even thought of.

I would like the search facility to be a bit more specific though. Trying to find past threads on specific subjects can be difficult. If you enter the word INSURANCE, for instance, 122 pages come up and none of the first page has any mention of insuance. Perhaps that could answer WoodyWA's suggestion.

Woody.
Your criticisms would carry a lot more weight if you were a paid up member. I’ve managed to do it for a number of years from the other side of the world, (well almost). So I reckon you could to. This site is dependent on members subs for its very existence. Changes take time and money as you well know.
Anyway I think the site is great the way it is, as Gramps said, it’s natural selection.

I would like to see an additional button that allows you to EDIT your own posts rather than have to post another follow up.
Reason:- Forgot something you meant to include or spelling mistakes etc.
Quite happy with layout just thought this may be a help.

Gday,
Im with most others...When it works, leave it!
I (very rarely) have a read on 4x4 action (monthly) , every time someone comments on a post , it goes to the top of the list. All this seems to do is keep a lot of old crap going.
If no one comments on something your post, wait till it goes back a couple of pages and re post it. If no one comments again its probably not worth a comment or people just don't have any advice.

Cheers

Good point Woody,

We need to keep reviewing what we do otherwise we get in a rut.

I am happy the way it is though.

Do use other forums where it is broken up into topics, but as others say, it is interesting to read of other comments not related to what i do.

And I think the good thread search function makes up for the jumble. One of the best I have seen, so you can list posts on a topic if you want.

Hey Woody spend more time looking and surfing the website then other things except for

#1 Wife
#2 Kids
#3 Work

all my spare time after fixing, cleaning working and wife and family is spent either on this ite or a couple of others!!!

cheers!

No.

Hi All

May be some members would like a Naughty Boy or Girls Corner,
if you get out of line, you have to stand in the corner for 24 hrs
you are aloud to read the posts but not make any comments,
the moderator put you in the sin bin.:):)


Cheers

Woody have you played with the Forum Display settings??
It will allow you to customize / personalize the way the Forum behaves and displays for you.
It can make it so much more user friendly and will allow you to display the last 100 posts on the front page which normally hang around for quite a few weeks and to set the Forum to display the most recently posted threads which will go back to the top.
The last feature is Thread Watch which will allow you to follow all posts to a thread you have selected to be watched.
have a look and play with the settings available, I think it will help you.

Cheers

Oh almost forgot the Search Function which will allow you to search back for years if need be.

I'll be interested to see what changes are made when this site is sold.
