I hope you manage to sell millions of books when you launch, not only will it be a just reward for the friendly community you've built and the time you spend here helping members from all backgrounds but it will bring even more people to the community.
Of course it will also mean and influx of newbie questions, reposts, bad advice and spam, to combat the influx of crap perhaps building on the concept of the speedway and having two versions of the forums would be a good measure to ensure the forum remains a valuable resource for the valued members:
1) A forum with all of the current segments which all members can view and post in.
2) A forum with all of the current segments which all members can view and only members over a certain rep point can post in.
This way the advanced real estate, ebiz and B&M guys and girls can surf to the advanced forum and avoid having to sift through pages of basic questions and crappy advice to find good advice like it is at RDPD.
The newer members can still benefit from the advice given out in the advanced forum but will be unable to clutter it with basic questions, reposts and spam and the advanced members will have the option of visiting the 'newbie forum' to give advice when they see a well though question or genuinely well meaning newbie question posted.
Maybe a stance towards reposts like at Lambopower will also be needed where they are immediately locked and the OP is told to do a search.
Just some thoughts.
Thanks for writing your thoughts ... once the book is available, the forum will be reorganized to accommodate the points covered in the book. I like your idea for an advanced section/getting started ... it will depend on traffic how segregation will pan out.
Hey MJ,
More and more I'm accessing the forum from my iPhone, so a mobile versio would sure be nice.
There must be a VB plugin that does it.
Also, Twitter buttons would be nice - and bring in a lot more traffic.
Thx
Agreed however I haven't found a Twit mod that works well ...
When I click on a thread that I have never been to, the page will automatically scroll me to the bottom (last post).. even though I never read the initial thread.
Can that be stopped? I will also start scrolling to the top and then it does it again after it is fully loaded... it takes a few seconds to load.
I like that it does it when it's a thread I have been following.
Just a suggestion.
I cannot be stopped, only reversed. However, if you see a thread listed in the TOP TEN that you have never read, click on the BLUE ARROW (at the right, next to the username) and it will take you to the FIRST POST. Clicking the thread link, takes you to the first.
