Need Your Opinion Regarding Additional Forums

Some of the most popular threads have been the "Post Your ________ Shots" in the "Image Critique" and "Show & Tell" Forums. So, I'm asking - Would you like subject-specific sub-forums added to one or both of these forums? Or would your rather continue with thesubject-specific threads within the existingforums?


If adding new sub-forums, should they be added to the "Image Critique", "Show & Tell" or both forums?


If adding new sub-forums, which specific forums should be added? Portraits/People and Nature are two of thepopular subjects for us.


Let me know what you think!


Thanks,


Bryan

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 11pt;"]Some of the other forums have too many sub-categories. My vote is to keep is simple, technical issues and show your photos works for me.

I cast my vote with Bob.

Ditto with the other two posters. KISS is nice.

Add another ditto to the pile... keep it simple.

I like the idea of sub categories. It's a little silly (though it works fine, and I have no real problem with it) having a single thread for all nature photos. Making sub categories such as "portrait", "nature", "macro", "sports" etc. seems to make a lot of sense.

I tend to read the site by going to the "Latest Forum Posts" page, so any separation of into sub forums would make no difference. I find that most sites with dozens of specialized forums can be rather annoying to navigate, and a pain read about everything you're into... I guess it really depends on how high the site traffic is. Right now I don't see a need for specialization based on volume of traffic here.

I much prefer the simpler approach, but for the Nature category I wouldn't mind seeing 2 sub-settings, e.g. wildlife (just animals) and landscape (wide angle to macro).

As this evolves I think there will be a time to branch out, for now it's fine.


There are 2 things I would like, I would like 10 topics shown vs 5 topics on the Browse Discussion Page. Second, I would like a page navigation object at the top of a page in addtion to the bottom of the page. If I open a discussion of 5 pages, I have to scroll to the bottom of the screen thread to select a new page number or the next page. I would like to have the ability to do that at the top as well

i wouldn't mind seeing two sub-folders, one for show and tell, the other for Q and A
