    OpelAus 2011

    Just after some feedback the members of OpelAus.

    Yes I know I do this on a regular basis, sorry if it's annoying, but it gives me a better idea of what is needed.


    What do you want to see implemented onto the forum? (excluding chat box)

    Any suggestions in general are welcome, be honest here too.

    If something is shit, say it's shit and I will see what can be done about it.

    maybe in the confirmation email for new members make it clear to use the search feature first. i've noticed over the past 12 months or so many new members asking questions that have been asked time and time before. I don't want to sound rude but some things have gotten very repetitive.

    perhaps adding to guys post, i do searches and sometimes come up with messages saying they have been archived so i cannot get to them.

    also when looking up how to's sometimes there is alot of shit or talk going off on a tangent in between actual informative posts, yes i am guilty to, perhaps getting someone to prune the posts or delete posts which arent particularly helpfull for that particular thread ? am i making sense ?

    not sure about the archived messages, can you show me an example, link/screen shot?

    those two banners at the top, are they too big to be put side by side (even resized)? or would it look too cluttered?

    just a thought Click here to enlarge

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    banners are preset to to size. this size is what a majority of uses will see as a comfortable size.
    its one of those things where you cant make it perfect for everyone

    MORE ACTIVE ADELAIDE MEMBERS!!!

    On a serious note. What about a moderator for each section? Similar to the cruise sections but maybe 1 for sales/wanted/group buys and external sites then another for each of the model sections... Just to give you a helping hand keeping the spamming and the odd arguments that happen to a minimum as you dont have to cover the whole site and remove threads or spam posts... Have people cover parts of the forum for you... Just my 2c

    Maybe a case of too many chiefs and not enough indians???
