Just a few questions,..do we need to have the names of companies displayed to attract new members?.. then what about LEICA...Hassleblad...Mamyia...PENTAX..that s gonna be a cacophony..

I can see there is traffic of people lurking here, would informing passers by that they`re welcome to contribute even though they do not use Nikon`s..?.. would that not be patronizing ..

I`m just worried that we loose our identity..

Structure? Should we have Canon / Fuji / Sony fora?

Should we have a video forum?

I think that it will dilute the content of the forum trying to separate by camera manufacturer.


We could have a tag for the new threads that show manufacturer.
In fact I think it would be good to implement.

On the Fuji forum we have a model tag in threads.
See here.

Video is good but I think it is best to host on YouTube and link to it, rather than putting the video onto our server directly.

Absolutely - by using the youtube link facility videos uploaded to youtube can be viewed in a window in the post -

like this

I have altered the splash page layout to tidy it up - the buttons now appear at the top right of the page instead of off screen at bottom left where the new welcome text had pushed them.

Like that.  

I don't want to add to your digital headaches, Chris ....but is there a reason the splash page doesn't load immediately with an image?

I get this written message (below)....and then 5secs later the photos start.
This is on my iPad so don't know if the issue is just me and this iPad/connection?

Not just you and the ipad - it used to load a static image (same one every time)  while it went off and searched for the images for the carousel.

The process takes a while and hence the delay. I thought it was an idea to tell people what was about to happen to grab their interest rather than them assuming that it was just a single image and clicking away to the forum or even leaving the site altogether.

I think loading a random image is better than the text.
