Forum Update

Continuing down the list of tasks that needs to be done; I've just recreated the forum containers and placed all existing posts into what I think to be the most relevant categories - sorry for moving them but I think I've got them all in sensible places now.


If anyone thinks of any major topics/areas I've missed then please let me know and I'll update as necessary.


The only forum I'm not sure of including is the general forum (called the Summer-House, hope it's not already been used!) as I kind of feel that posts to go into this section should probably be blog entries instead, but I'm going to play it by ear and see how things pan out.


Finally, an offer I have made before and did so again at the AGM is that if any section out there wants to host it's own forum as part of the BKKS site I'd be happy to create a forum for you and your users to participate in. Let me know at web@bkks.org.uk and we'll sort something out.


Right - back to the migration....

Thanks

Loving your work Gareth, makes it alot more clearer to read and helpful so thank you.


Would it be an idea to have an area specifically on National Show related business, whether it be latest updates on what's going on, or other specific bits that could get lost in other BKKS issues and therefore possible missed.


Purely an idea that seems to work on Essex forum that keeps it all under one hat.


Kind regards

National Show Forum?

I have toyed with that idea, but...


  • Posts with information for the National Show should be filed under the main site and not the forum. Direct questions relating to that can be answered in the comments there
  • I'm not sure that there were that many posts last year for the National show (though seeing as we have a PRO earlier this year, I don't know if that will increase with more information)
  • There really should be someone from the show monitoring and answering these - I don't know if Dave has the time to do this?


Having said that, I'm willing to give it a punt and see what happens. But where to put it - under Koi Appreciation, BKKS & Sections, or in it's own container?

National Show updates

I would say under BKKS & Sections but it would be your call Gareth of course.


I am just thinking towards the future and it would be nice to have show related questions all in one bit, simply so we can keep track and save the same questions coming up over and over again.


what's the worse that can happen ? no one posts anything in there which simply means there are no problems and everything is going like clockwork, if that's the case fantastic !


A punt sounds great Gareth.

Assigning Correct Keywords

Though you can assign keywords - of which one is National 2008 - to any post in any section of the site and a cross-reference of that keyword will return all posts - so irrespective of if there is a forum for it that information can be retrieved. This does of course assume people use the relevant keywords for a post! - but again time will ease people into this and we need to see how it pans out.
