Attention Joe...Please consider
 
Joe checkout ..www.taxidermy.net/forums
Sometimes I think this forum is to complicated..would you please adopt the same format has the web site I indicated
In my opinion the taxidermy forum has got to be the best format I've seen in a websiwhy do you want a loggin for Joe your watching the site anyway...and if people leave a email address consider that a log-in:(

Joe Gardner 05-12-03 12:45 PM

What exactly do you like about the taxidermy forum? What do you find hard to use about this format?

(moving to suggestions and feedback forum).

A forum for taxidermy issues???!!!

To each their own, I guess, but that forum looks much more complicated than this one. I like being able to see right there who started the thread, the last poster, and number of views/replies. In my opinion this is the best and most easy to use forum out there.:)

Personally I like the layout of this site as it is. I don't want to see it changed in anyway.

What I liked about the taxidermy forum is you can scroll threw every posting without changing categories...Its all taxidermy talk..just like this forum is all bicycle talk anyway...why not just lump everything together?

chip 05-12-03 02:14 PM

What I do not like about this site is too many threads...just lump it all together...thats what I think

Joe Gardner 05-12-03 02:14 PM

This forums follows a standard layout of 99% of the forums on the web and is definately the most popular style of standard. to change it would just be wrong :(

I generally like it the way it is. There are a few cosmetic improvements I'd like to see, like lighter backgrounds everywhere, and especially in this box, but overall that's very minor.

Now, one major improvement I would like is the use of real names instead of nicknames. I know that people can hide behind a name (especially if one's name is John Smith), but it adds a more personal touch.

Regards,

.... and your name is really mgagnonlv?:D

If I was re-registering I would certainly go with my real name.

I don't want our forum to look like one about taxes

Accounting is so boring. :D

Guest 05-12-03 06:54 PM

I like this site just how it is.

Don't change a thing, please.

twowheeler 05-12-03 08:09 PM

Joe, I like it just the way it is now too, please dont change it.

Dannihilator 05-13-03 12:01 AM

I used to belong to a forum in the mountain bike site, then they switched the software without warning, everyone got mad and left. Change is bad. Let's keep the current format, I like it.

I would never want that. I like having aliases and handles :)

I would too. Future option for the forums, maybe?


So no, my name isn't "mgagnonlv", you have my real name, Michel Gagnon in the signature.

The problem with "log ins" is that one needs a unique name, and in most cases, the name must be one word, without spaces, etc. Looking at other user names like "Koffee Brown" or "Joe Gardner", I now can see that the Bikeforums software allows more possibilities for user names. I didn't know before registering, however.

As to why not Michel Gagnon? It's a very common name in Québec, probably equivalent to John Smith elsewhere in Canada and in U.S. Let's say that if one tries to register a Hotmail or Yahoo account with "MichelGagnon", one is typically offered something like "MichelGagnon22". My username therefore comes from MGagnon, and the last two letters are initials from my wife's name. Easy for me to remember.

Now you know.

You can change your username. Just PM Joe. I changed mine. I like my username now....

Koffee

Joe Gardner 05-13-03 07:58 PM

Shhh! ;)

BTW, There are some MAJOR changes coming to the forum soon, but the basic layout / functionality will be the same. :)

1oldRoadie 05-13-03 08:15 PM

taxidermy??? Is this going to be a sub-forum on roadkill recipes?

I know I could change my username but I don't want to forever end up as 'Rodney Olsen' (formerly known as MediaCreations) :D

So what was your original username?

Guest 05-13-03 09:25 PM

My original name was my real name.

So I changed it.

Koffee (the poster formerly known as X) ;)
