Suggestion for forum setup

Posted on 07/08/2003 12:31:17 PM PDT by Jon Geb

I was just wondering if anyone else has a problem with the way the forums are set up? I find it very difficult to navigate Freerepublic. Is there anyone else that would prefer a much more simple setup for this website.

Eating cheese may help you navigate.

I hear that the Democratic Underground website has an interface that even a simpleton can understand. Try their site!

You are entirely free to setup what ever you want. FR on the other hand has been a valuable asset to many of us just the way it is, thank you.

I've never really understood their purpose except to perhaps clear out the news board to some extent. It seems that once a thread gets transferred to the forum section it dies a rapid death. I don't follow the traffic closely enough to know how much the news gets bogged down by religious threads, etc, but I don't particularly like the set up either.

Nope. Pretty much the Immaculate Website (tm).

Not really... you point, you click.

What else do you have in mind?

I love the content. I just dont like the way its setup. Most forums have a list of threads and the thread gets bumped to the top when last replied to. This one doesnt seem to. The setup here is unique.

Try clicking on "Messages" in the upper right hand corner. You must have it set on "Threads."

I see that angry pappy. I also see the same thread 100 times in there. Why not one list of threads with the most recent replied thread at the top. When the thread gets old it eventually falls off.


Ever heard of www.ezboard.com , thats how 99% of the boards on the net are setup.

Yes but with EZBoard, you never know if the thread got one reply or 50 since you last saw it. Delphi has the best forums. It remembers the last message you read in a thread and starts you at the next message.
