Some suggestions for a new forum?
 

I like all kinds of posts, I really do! BUT:

 
1) some interesting posts do not stay very long.

2) some (not all!) posts contain big pictures (and sometimes they distort the homepage)

3) it is not nice at all to see words of hatred on the homepage. I hope I am right when I say that many of us do not want to be part of (sometimes futile) quarrels or cultural misunderstandings.

 

So here is what I thought: 

1) Would it be possible to have just a list of the titles of the most recent posts?
2) Would it be possible to make the different categories of posts more visible?

ADVANTAGES:

 

1) More posts visible on the homepage and they could stay longer (so those who are just getting up can still see the posts of those who are about to go to bed!!!)

2) Different types of posts to please EVERYBODY!!!

3) We would be forced to be more precise in our choice of titles.

4) The caf� could be back on the homepage! (under the pink category!)

5) We would still have pictures but inside the posts.

 
Just a few suggestions (note the �would �, �could �... Wink). Sorry for the length of the post! (But this could be the last one!)

Excellent suggestion, frenchfrog! I was thinking along the same lines - to squeeze the posts but let their titles be seen.

I like this idea. It may prevent people from posting the same message more than once, just because it has become invisible on the front page.
"This could be the last one" humour ... of course!!! The best way to cope with the gloomy situation... In case some people don �t understand! Heart

Very nice - and logical Smile - solution to make the forum a little more easy to use. I agree about the images and the heated words and I always think "God, the newbies must think we are savages!" lol
