"Customer Forum" rebranding

[PedroHipolito]

I think the "Customer Forum" should be rebranded.

"Customer" is to broad to segment threads. Its so broad that in fact includes "Film" and "Digital".

"Lens and Accessories Forum" would be much more focused.

This way we would have:

0. "Barnack's Bar" for general conversation (an other subjects forum).
1. "About the Leica Forum" to discuss improvements to the forum, etc.
2. "Lens and Accessories Forum" for Leica gear except cameras.
3. "Digital Forum" for digital cameras.
4. "Film Forum" for film cameras.
5. "Leica Collectors and Historica FORUM" for some reason this is the only forum that does not include "Forum" in the name.
6. "Photo Forum" to share and comment images.

Agree. The Customer Forum is the only subforum absent a description! It was useful for service feedback when 'factory' sponsored, but now it's threads could easily disappear among the other subforums.

OTOH, if the Customer Forum still has a place, it needs a guidance description.

Respectfully submitted as food for thought.

No, its just going to confuse matters. If you have a post about an accessory for the M8 would that go in the M8 forum or the lens and accessory forum? What about collectors lenses?...........

Customer Forum could more aptly be called 'General Leica Topics' I guess? for stuff that isn't so specific as film/digital/collectors

The customer forum is an excellent receptacle for all the items that do not fall within the rubric of any of the other forums.

And for consistency, the forum which is for the discussion of the Leica forum should surely be called the 'About the Leica Forum Forum'
