Too many forums...
 
lol, hey I just noticed this,..... Their is soo many forums here... :confused anyways to join some of them? Like for examples, most of the ones that only have 1 thread or 2 that relate to each other (not talking about the regional ones)

**MOD EDIT** Poll is now up! everyone vote

Yeah I have noticed that too. I don't know if they would want to join to many of them but I like the idea of sub-forums.

IMO, it would be so much cleaner if we had 5 series and then have 4 subforums under it (like introductions and geek chat are in the lounge)... same with the 3 series etc.

spiff 04-29-2005 11:34 PM

agreed with Torque, we need soem cleaning up, wouldnt be difficult, and it would do everyone some good, and the site

komodo 04-30-2005 12:04 AM

SHAHAB323IS 04-30-2005 08:56 AM

i would like that as well

Torque 04-30-2005 10:29 AM

Yes, that's exactly what it should be like. Do same for 7s, and same for 'Classics' ... that should reduce the front forum page by liek 14 forums.

zeaq328i 04-30-2005 11:25 AM

The most active forum is the E36,Member Lounge and Car showroom and other section has only 1 or 2 posts.It's a good idea to put them in sub forum.

zeaq,

I think the M3/M5 forums should be put into the appropiate model code. E36 M3s go into E36 forum, E46 m3 into e46 forum, e34 m5 into e34/5series forum and so on.. e39 blah..

delmarco 05-01-2005 02:24 PM

Yeah the Member's Lounge could be cleaned up some too...Any the copious distribution of tiny text fonts on the front pages still bothers me some....especially the text for links, they are too close together and about 2 font sizes too small.

I'm not sure if the reason was to fit as much info on the front page as can possibly fit...but you have to think that the average browser who is new to the forum is not looking for an Encyclopedia on BMWs and they will only look for stand out key words that interests them....like E36, Delmarco, 318i, Calypso Red :D

no seriously...

That was my biggest appeal to BMW-Forums over BimmerForums when I first joined up...
The simplicity and organizational layout of the home/front and main pages of BMW-Forums...everything was laid out that mattered first and foremost...then you went thru pages of sub-topics if you wanted.

BimmerForums has like way too much shit on the homepage to file thru to get to where you want to go....that's a turn off...also the average teenage web browser only reads about 1 to 5% of what is on the front pagebefore finding the link they want...I think that is a good tip! :redspotda

Thanks for changing it. I like it a lot better this way. This forum is the best!
