A few thoughts….

New main window.

A lot of people have commented how it’s annoying to have a massive list of forums to view. So how about a more abbreviated version of the normal index page. For example you could shorten the length of the lines and have two columns or something.
Not all the information displayed is that necessary; ie moderators of the forum etc, which can be displayed in the main forum window.
This could even be optional, ie tick a box in your profile info to have it.


‘Linked threads’ options for regional forum moderators.

Similar to linking a thread to an event, how about giving regional moderators the option to link a thread to one in the main Outings and Excursions forum. Maybe with the option to create a thread where it copies the first post from the regional forum (for the lazy Razz) and sticks it in Outings and Excursions with a link to the one in the regional forum.


Also, a National Forum……

For organising big, national events, rather than just local ones.
I’d quite like something to replace the racing and festivals usergroup; the idea being to organise big events that would get lost in the outings and Excursions because of the regular ‘turn over’ there of the general local meets… and wouldn’t be so appropriate for a regional forum where not everybody would know about it.
For instance in the previous two years there’s been plenty of planning for the summer festivals etc. There hasn’t really been this year, mostly because the posts about them have disappeared under a load of ‘anyone wanna go for a ride today?’ posts I suspect.
At the moment you really need to keep all the organising stuff to one thread, which gets a bit hectic when there’s people from all over the country trying to sort stuff.
The regional forums may sort this out, but I’d still prefer somewhere a bit less exposed to discuss details, ie phone numbers etc.

Why not just make these threads sticky in O&E? The privacy concerning phone numbers isn't such an issue now with the private info in profiles.

About trackdays/festivals etc there was usually quite a few different threads organising peopel from different parts of the country etc. Now that sort of thing more gets lost in the general clutter, so people don't bother so much about it all.
