Is there any way to get a ‘new content’ or even a ‘recent discussions’ summary on the main Forum index page?
Going into every sub forum to look for ‘new posts’ is a PITA.
I see the ‘wordpress’ dashboard has it sort of, but that’s a PITA to get into too.
Im sure there must be though web designers are off till New Year. SIU till then;)
Unfortunately Mike I think that timeline might be enough to lose the little momentum there is…
It’s holiday season so people have time to browse forums. Once lost, hard to get back.
The old ISG ‘new content’ summary was the go to for me and I suspect a lot of the others. I use similar on other forms. Some call it latest activity, others recent discussions. Whatever it is called it needs to stand out like dogs balls on the main Forum index page.
I’m also thinking the ‘state based’ sub forums are spreading the content too far. Too many areas ATM to go into to read stuff. Would work if there is a new posts type summary though.
Just my $0.02 while I wait for the roast to cook and the batteries for the RC car to recharge!
Thanks Hack I appreciate your input over the past few months.
This is a self funded site and one that will only “take” off if/when the other site shuts down.
Chicken before the egg scenario as I’m not investing heaps on this site until we know what is happening for sure with former. Even then I don’t have the funds to do a massive upgrade here. Will have to take it in small steps.
I’ll take the feedback from past month and have web team do an upgrade to see if can get better functionality.
Nationals will start ramping up in a couple months and maybe then we’ll see what is a happening with other site.
Happy holidays. See you in the other side!
Don’t know why ‘we’ can’t keep a lot of what worked before – unless there are legal issues. Not that any of the forum titles over where we came from aren’t everyday common words.
Must say I’m finding this site less than user friendly – I guess familiarity breeds contempt.
Thanks. We can start up here what we want. I legal issues etc.
It is very organic in growth and it’s more about keeping people connect when/if other site decides on what it is going to do.
I’ll look to invest then on upgrades dependent on outcome. This platform is very basic and yes once used to its much easier to navigate. Not perfect by any means but all we go for now.
Thanks for feedback.

Why cannot we all contribute to funding the site. Don’t know how much it costs to set up and maintain site like this, but surely we could all throw in the cost of a coffee each month??

Think it might take more than the cost of a cup.of hot water, teaspoon of international roast and a dash of milk!
But, in all seriousness, agreed.
If everyone used the golf balls they play as their benchmark, then contributed the cost of a box of those to a ‘L4G forum development fund’, we could have a swimming pool built off ‘the deck.
By the time you realise this part of my signature doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
Success is the ability to go from one failure to the next without any loss of enthusiasm.
Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.
Meditation makes doing nothing quite respectable.
Now that ‘the deck’ aka the 19th is open, I’m wondering if a few threads might be better moved into that area?
For example:
The L4G plot twist?
Wasting time at work?
Daylight Savings risks?
Fun on a golf course?All I want for Christmas is some rain?

Don’t know if this has been mentioned, but is there a “I don’t want to read these posts – mark as read” type function? Otherwise you either have to open every one or leave an annoying unread tab there. Does my Petty little head in. But it is useful sometimes to just flush and then see the new stuff
At the old place the time of your post was about 10/20 minutes out….now it’s an hour behind…..are we posting QLD time??

They’ll catch up in a few months..
Is there a way that when you quote a post you can get into the quoted post to delete areas of it you don’t want to quote..OR highlight the part you want to emphasise. At the moment you are unable to even see what is being quoted until you actually submit it.
Can we do multiple quotes?
People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
No championships worth mentioning in recent years.

Ill add Commish comments to our wish list for how to quote only a portion of a previous quote.
Mads, the quote link is not working, nor is your countdown banner.
