Ok this is in reference to the lack of support of the forums.
Id like to reference this post; http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/73906
As you will see and everyone knows it, many of the forum posts go unnoticed because of the lack of exposure.
Id like to quote myself as per the thread above
Forums are hopeless… The side list needs to be longer on the front page and be 'bumped' if someone is commenting on that thread. Works great in all the other forums ive been part of in the past. Otherwise once its off that short list on the front page its forgotten :/
Basically if the list on the front page was longer and the latest thread commented on was 'bumped' to the top then the current 'hot topic' would get more exposure and actually make it a productive forum. At the moment its where posts tend to go die :(
A prime example of this was the charity donations voting. Many people didn't know about it till it was too late to suggest a charity.
Also too many sub-categories gets a bit confusing, maybe less categories?
Please can we implement something like this or suggestions?
Thanks.
definitely support this , great idea!
