Interesting developments in 24 hours!!!
I like the idea of moving the streetlight forum up and the rest down. My idea on the newbies area was just for a more personallised welcome area. Nothing more. I respect that we don't have many members yet and it will look bad when it has few topics in.
The dividing things was an idea that seemed good in my head but cannot put it into words on how to describe it without offending.....
Before I dig the hole any deeper, forget I mentioned it
Ideas for the forsale forum: I believe that when admin create the new forum, there is the ability to close the new forum to replies. For this reason, the forsale area should be it's own forum following from the Collections forum. It is up to the team to converse in the secret place that only they know, whether we should have 2 for sale forums.
One for Streetlighting related items and one for general items (Hi-Fi, chairs etc...) I suggest they are member only areas.
For the disable topic reply, it will have to be a seperate area. Not sure if hiding it as a sub forum of the collections forum will be a good idea. It needs to be on the main page for all to see.
By the term forum, it means all the different areas within the main UKASTLE forum. General Streetlighting Discussion, Collections, Lantern Discussions are all classed as various forums.
Also, can we have a chatbox? Seems nobody else has MSN. Would make organising the nitty gritty of meets more efficient. Takes ages to wait for a reply to a PM usually.
