Well we have been trialling this new discussion board for a few months now and I gotta say that I find a couple of points of interest.
1. The new board is much kinder to newbies to find their way around and post etc. -Great.
2. We seem to have retained most of the older members and gained some newbies because of Item 1. Great.
3. We still don't have any moderators censoring the discussions which is good.
4. Some of the discussions are being hijacked way out of control which rarely happened on the old board or if it did, it got moved to a non bike thread. Not so good.
5. The old board shone way above this one simply because of the ability to put a reasonably sized image into a post that could be seen without having to open another page to view it. Bad.
6. The ability to add attachments goes some way to make up for the problem at item 5. However with a 10mb limit per member, it discourages people from putting up meaningful items because they know that soon, they will have to delete that item to put something else in it's place. Bad - because if you go hunting back through the discussions the attachments will be gone.
These points are purely my own observations and are not directed at any other member. I simply think that we can continue to improve the new board by either relaxing some restrictions or introducing other procedures.
Opinions?
p.s. please don't hijack this thread.
