Forum Changes and Improvement Suggestions
Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2022 8:05 am
Going through the top-level sections and sub-forums, I have a few thoughts:
- Under Brewing questions, there is a BJCP Class Discussion sub-forum. Maybe create a top-level section for Judging/BJCP Topics? Could be under Competitions section also?
- Is there a way to turn off the HTML formatting? "
- " does not work by the way or I do not know how to use it. Needs user-friendly text formatting instead of HTML tags. It's 2022, not 2002.
- Change Brewing Questions sub-forum to Brewing Topics, then create sub-forums for Brewing, Equipment, Yeast, Hops, others? I'm equating this to Brewing Bad Ass Beer on the BRBC Slack channel.
- Get rid of Archived Competition Info under Competitions.
- There is Main Discussion Board section and Recipe Swap section. Just curious as to why this is and should they be merged under Main?
- I realize Forum software is a technology that has been around for a while. It is also one that may not be familiar with newer users who know tools like Teams or Slack. Absent more user friendly formatting and usability, how to we provide some guide for usage? For example, posting images, the HTML tags thing, replying, quoting.
