Default Re: Chuck\'s ready to make a change

Can we just subtitle it "forum where people will bitch about the mods".

That's likely what will happen a lot if it isn't specifically disallowed.

Default Re: Chuck\'s ready to make a change

the thing is i don't think people will want to support it

when you make a 'computer tech help' forum there will be people that will hang out there just to answer people's questions. i can't imagine that those same people would be willing to sit around and answer basic forum questions.

if you put the name 'support' or 'help' on a computer forum, it just means that's where people go. i think if you do it on 'forum support' or something, it has a direct implication that the operators/moderators of the forum will be supporting you.

i'd just leave it at 'forum suggestions' and move questions about forums into there when we see them, just so it doesn't promote it as an officiated helpdesk

Hmm... you're right. I hadn't thought about that. "Forum Suggestions" does seem to be the best fit.

Default threaded and flat

[ QUOTE ]
I'd like to start the forum support forum with a poll asking
about threaded vs. flat mode (the importance thereof.)

Do think that this is a good idea?

[/ QUOTE ]
The poll might be nice to see how much people care about this, but I think you should also simply check how many people are using each mode. Just a simple "SELECT count(*) FROM w3t_Users WHERE U_Totalposts > 100 AND U_Display = 'Flat'" would do it, I think, although post count of 100 might not be the best way of filtering out bogus accounts. Maybe a better restriction would be that the last logged on date is in the past month and the account was registered more than a month ago or something like that. Regardless of exactly how you want to filter it, I think the raw numbers on each side would be useful.
