The new forum has been online for a few weeks now and unfortunately we have seen a decrease in visitors. We have got feedback from visitors indicating the new forum is too complex. Ofcourse this was not our intention: we want to keep the PhonoLand.Com forum as easy to access as the old forum was! For that reason we are now very busy making the new forum much easier to access. What we are changing now or already have changed in the last few days:
- Registration is no longer required to post/reply to messages. Registration does have advantages, inlcuding the possibility to edit/delete your own messages, send/receive private mail to/from other registered forum users , and your username on this forum becomes password protected.
- Removing/moving unnecessary options in the forum so the basic posting/reading of messages is made easier.
- Some lay-out adjustments (we have re-introduced the right column in the screen which will be further developing in the next couple of days).
- Use easier to understand links/options in the forum (if possible) or add descriptions to options which can be difficult to understand (if possible).
- Messages from the previous forum can now be searched right from the new forum interface: See the right menu in the new forum for the search box.
- We will be making these adjustments in the next couple of days...
If you have any suggestions to make the forum as easy as possible, please let us know!
Thanks!
Marcel.
