Forum error?

Rikki Chequer · #1 19-02-2010

Before the change I could only access my own teams sub forum (ours is actually a link to our own forums) Now I can see and read the latest posts in all the teams forums that are hosted here

That may be a deliberate change, but thought I would mention it !!

It is a deliberate change.

What you state was previously the case, however precious few people were registered to the relevant groups so couldn't even see their own forum, so they were drastically under used.

The logic now is that is something is posted in a local forum that is a local matter others will not be interested anyway. However if it is of wider interest then it is most likely in the wrong forum anyway and can be moved to a more appropriate one.

Damn fine idea - That was the was it was on the old forum, then someone decided they should all be private & at that point they seemed to stop being used.

I'm not sure how signatures are set up at the moment but please refrain from using large images - if they aren't already they will be restricted in the future in order to try to keep the page flow reasonable.

Plan is to have a whole load of avatar size logos for all groups available shortly.
