Dish Posted 9, March 2011 Report Share Posted 9, March 2011 Hey peeps, Just wondered whether or not we should look at consolidating some of the forums or not. Reason I ask is that from time to time there are certain topics that can fit into either a general discussion section or a more technical section. So for example, if all the Clio II topics were pooled together into a hold-all forum, how would that go? Or might that get messy? Other option is to rearrange them so that the each model is bundled together with its own discussion and tech sub-forums (like how the For Sale section is now with Cars and Other). ie Clio II - Discussion - Technical (stickies) - Technical - Performance Mods (since this model is the most popular for modding) Clio III - Discussion - Technical Megane II - Discussion - Technical Megane III - Discussion - Technical However, that would leave a few floaters, like the Other Renaultsport etc, Renault in Motorsport, Car Care and ICE sections. These are more generic anyway, so they could be kept together for instance. While we're at it, how about the Limited Edition registers? I was thinking (again, dangerous for me LOL) that we might list them as stickies, but all under Members Rides. In addition, I think a general register would be a great idea too, to get everyone else involved... but that would be hard to maintain unless we assign someone to specifically look after it. Show of hands? If what I'm trying to get across doesn't make sense, please tell me. I'm just brainstorming... thought we could do with a little refreshing/spring cleaning.

Pez Posted 9, March 2011 Report Share Posted 9, March 2011 More FRANK Can't see how it fits in with Dish's topic, but have to agree. Surely the Mods have his email, let's get him back..... Oh, and all together with permanent stickies, sounds like a good idea to me. I always found navigating both main areas confusing at times. Low IQ I presume.

walkie86 Posted 9, March 2011 Report Share Posted 9, March 2011 I like the model + sub-forums idea. Also like the general register idea. Maybe split into models (Clio 172 phI, phII, 182). Happy to put my hand up for Clio II duties. Should probably get someone who frequents a specific section a fair bit to look after it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubbsy Posted 9, March 2011 Report Share Posted 9, March 2011 Another forum I sometimes visit has a 'Hall of Shame' where stupid, inane, embarrassing and misleading posts are gathered. It's quite funny. Not that we have posts like that here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dish Posted 9, March 2011 Author Report Share Posted 9, March 2011 Ah, yeah, some long termers here may recall we had a "memorable quotes" section some time back - got deleted when the novelty wore off. Keep those votes and suggestions coming More frank/Frank comments are always welcome! (but not the unkind variety please) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treza360 Posted 11, March 2011 Report Share Posted 11, March 2011 The Clio II technical stickies section always seems a little pointless to me. Put them back in the Clio II technical section really. If there's then too many stickies in the forum, then setup a technical FAQ thread which then has links to the associated threads. I do like the idea of grouping by Model rather than a Model and Tech section. Should reduce the crossover that is happening. Also can the two for sale sub section be pulled out so you can access these directly as opposed to having to click twice. Maybe have a "Cars For Sale" and "Parts For Sale" instead. My 2c for the moment. Cheers, Trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treza360 Posted 2, April 2011 Report Share Posted 2, April 2011 Something else that would be nice but I'm not sure if it's available in phpBB is auto sizing themes so that page width automatically resizes according to your screen res (vBulletin has had this for a couple of versions now). Another thing vBulletin has now is a really nice mobile phone mode which makes Tapatalk and others a bit redundant. I'd still also like more text in my signature for additional formatting changes. Is it possible to make so that only actual viewed text is counted as opposed to text and formatting code? Cheers, Trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treza360 Posted 2, June 2011 Report Share Posted 2, June 2011 Something else I spotted. I believe the RS250 is now well and truly here so the sub-text needs some updating. Cheers, Trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treza360 Posted 5, June 2011 Report Share Posted 5, June 2011 And you know what's funny. I picked up that the Meg III was out of date but now I just had a read of the Clio III and apparently it's a new model too. Cheers, Trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 5, June 2011 Author Report Share Posted 5, June 2011 LOL, thanks Treza - done Looks like bremund took care of the Megane III heading OK, I'm going to do a shuffle of the subcategories now (might take a few minutes, so hope this doesn't disrupt things too much). We'll see how things go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 5, June 2011 Author Report Share Posted 5, June 2011 OK, we'd like to hear your thoughts on the new structure. If you feel there are any threads that should be moved about or consolidated, please don't hesitate to mention it. We really appreciate any suggestions that will continue to make this the Number 1 resource for all things RENAULTsport (I'll set up a thread for merge/move suggestions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
