Review of the Forum

[£3.73]

Possibly there comes a point where you can add too much or sub-divide and sub-divide to the point where it hampers getting quickly to what you want.

Most of the regulars here know exactly how to find everything ... but imagine you were new to this board and trying to use it for the 1st time.

Therefore my suggestion would be to keep the user interface simple, mindful of 'ease of use' & functional (as opposed to complicating it).

The bottom line is ... there's often a temptation to add bells & whisles, when sometimes less is more ...

Well i'll volunteer to do my best to keep the forum updated from the Carradale area KFN.

Curious if this thread got dropped for a reason.....maybe £3.73 had a good point ('less is more')?.....or just forgotten, as I don't see any new sections yet? I realize some of the ideas were fulfilled either as a sub-section or thru a separate website but there were some other great ideas thrown in the ring that, imo, should be considered for new sections in KF. Like the Food & Drink section & gardening section?? Again, just curious
Or am I completely missing something here

Considering the latest threads that have been started maybe there is a need for a seperate forum for theology and philosophy discussion.

[Lossit Lass]

Either everything if fine or your not interested. Quite disappointing to be honest given the number of users who use the forum.

TRYING to revive this one for you
& from your post (quoted), you were actually interested in our suggestions...and many were subsequently posted...but nothing has been added or changed yet, and no further updates from Admin as to the status?
IMO, I think it might do us good to shake things up in here a little, going by the recent discussions. New sections could help with that.

That said......though I realize Bill's poking fun at someone I do think he could be on to something. A "theology and philosophy" section could be interesting...........couldn't it

& what about a 'World Politics' section? I know, I know...some may yawn at that, but I know we've had some very provocative discussions under that topic. I, for one, find it an interesting subject, & it's certainly relevant on a day to day basis. Just a thought. And of course it should include a Warning , similar to Speakers Corner's

Thanks for the postings Lossit Lass. Certainly all under review so keep any ideas coming.

We have now created a new forum for events as the sub forum was being missed.

We would encourage ANYONE who can help to please post event information. If you would rather do this under a new account associated to the forum then please PM this account and we will set it up.

Oh, that's great! Glad to know this wasn't a dud thread, it has some very good ideas in the mix!

Thanks for all you do (admin, mods, et al), I imagine it can be daunting work...your time is appreciated! You've helped create such a fun, interesting, useful forum, one that folks around the world can enjoy. & speaking for myself, & most surely others who miss being there, it's been an absolute pleasure to (re)connect & hang out virtually

Hi Lossit Lass,

Thanks for the positive feedback - really appreciated. The forum will never please everyone but as stated before it is only as good as the members make it.

From a Kintyre perspective we need people to post on it and use it which in general does happen. I guess to a certain degree we need champions of each section who are passionate about that particular forum. Hence the reason we have created a new Events section and now have a new Genealogy section. (I am hoping people like Charles etc make good use of it! )

Too often too much is made about other areas of the forum - eg Speakers Corner - but this is an integral part of the forum which is used widely to ensure the direction of the main forums are not spoiled. If we had more people posting more on the main Kintyre sections then the others areas wouldn't be the focus of people. (In anycase they should just ignore it! )

We hope you all continue to make good use of the forum. (and Lossit Lass perhaps one day you will get back to see us in person)

I am intent on getting back there in person, will never give up hope........however, as I always say, if not in person then you can bet your last lamb I'll be there in spirit, when my time arrives. You'll find me at Lossit farm/house
