Subforums - Feedback

It's been about a week... So, what say you? Is it helping? Pros/Cons? :coolguy:

It's good. :smoka:

I dont like it...I like jus goin to one spot and checking every post

i am fine with whatever...

Pros cancel out the cons so i am good :sun:

pros- less messy
cons- dont like to keep switching b/w forums, hard to keep track of the newer threads

all in all, im not too fond of the subforum. i think i felt alot better with the 1 forum thing.
:)

both are good but i perfer( like BlownCivic said) to just check all the new posts

BTW How come the email notification thing doesnt work(sends u email when someone responds to a thread u did to)

I like the subforums better. This way the forum doens't get too crowded even on its busiest days. Plus all the tips and questions are kept on one forum for easy viewing.

I like it. The general car modeling forum is less cluttered.

I like it alot better, cause sometimes i need some inspiration to get back in the scene and i can go to finished and progress for that but then when i wanna help out of post a question i can do that in the general forum, I say keep its quite nice

good day

I like it. this was an effective way to slow down the thread turnover rates while not breaking up the forums too much.

I like it; it's just been kind of tedious movingold threads to their proper place but it's cool!:cool:

I like it so much I think we should have more of them. Subforums for tech q/a, clasifieds, show/contests and maybe even a general b.s. one just for good measure.

Then of course people would have to click their mouse a few more times...may be too much for them to handle. :devil:

Seriously...IMO it has improved this site tremendously.

Now how can we go about getting permission to put our own pics in the Car Model Gallery?!? :D

I like it - less of a cluter

I wasn't for this idea at the begining, and i'm don't like this now..

I find myself looking less often the subforum :(

i kinda like it, kinda hate it, im aobut even on it, but i dont think we need more than what we got now though.

I feel exactly the same way about the subforum. Works well with me. Now we can all check to see what projects are going on and not view every single thread to see if it leads to a project. Does this make sense? Some titles/ topics are misleading at times.

It's as easy as one click away to the next forum, and everything's less cluttered. Seems fine to me.

And what is up w/the lack of email notifications? I had a P/M from someone and didn't know about it for almost two weeks!

Agreed.:)

As with everything, it takes time getting use to new stuff.
For the moment, it looks fine and better organised.

If AF wasnt fast expanding, dont think we need subforums.
But with the rapid influx of new members, with it more threads, I really think the subforums are the way to go.

Your project will take less hits as if that will bother you, I hope not.
If members were really interested they would click on them just as they would previously. Whats 1 click away extra? Wont kill them or you.

I think the advantages outweigh the cons for now.

I love it, for me I think it's sooooo much better, I want to see another
one, for Meets so we can have more threads like the Skyline Meet Thread (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t74956.html) , Lets face it the search never works very well or not at all, so with a Meets thread it would help us all out when looking for threads on particular cars, Say a Supra Meet, 350Z Meet, S2000 Meet and the other popular builds.

Just and Idea

I think you guys did a hell of a job !
I think it's a great new feature, having all the progress and completed threads in one subforum limits the amount of junk-threads in this forum and you will be able to follow the interesting threads easier.
The downside is, as somebody mentioned it, you will get less hits, but hey, I don't mind, I prefer it like that and very clean

Also , I owuld like to take the time to thank the moderators, who did a great job in moving the treads (and are still moving them, I think)
They did a quick, reliable and good job,
so mods, thanks a lot for this improvement of the forum.

I'm mostly interested in other people's projects, so I like the new subforum.

Like someone else mentioned, a lot of the titles are very misleading. Before, I may not see someone's project because it was titled something like "Look at this!".

Same here.

I like it alot ...very organised!!

just one comment i would like to make! since we have so much tutorial and it is very hard to keep track off... i suggest that we have a subfourm for that too! That way when people are working on their models and are stuck and remebers that there is a thread that talks about their problem! it saves time for them to go search for it!

just my 2cent!;)

I like it!

I look more in the subforum then start reading in the main section. When I spend some time on the net in general and AF in particular, I want to access information easy and quickly. And this subforum allows me to immediately rule everything out which is modeling but not related to progress and finished progress. Otherwise it takes to long going to all the posts. That's why I haven't visited or commented so often lately. But now it's giving me again a more pleasant browsing.

So yes, please keep it now.

Thanks to the mods also who made this happen - transfer of threads etc.

:cool:

Ditto! :D

i like it as long as we don't end up with to many subforums which will get to confusing.

AGREE!!! :bandit:

So far for me its ok. Its not great - but it does stop alot of extra crap to look through when im looking for specific topics.

I don't mind it really, its done the job it was supposed to do. My biggest headache right now though is the email notification thing, without them i forget threads i've posted in and miss replies to questions etc, very annoyining!:mad:

Who ever came up with this idea should be hang and shot :p :p

.J/K.....Loving it, so easy to sort things out now.

Yeah it's alright i suppose!!
But as a couple of others have said why isn't the e-mail notification thingy working anymore like Chris I can't always remember which threads I've replied to!!
