jip Posted September 25, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 25, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Might be me but I'm getting sick of all the M240 problem threads I can't even find anything about the M9 anymore sometimes... It's just that since the announcement it was rumour this rumour that, and now it is problem this problem that, maybe it would be better for the M240 and other M users that the M240 gets a separate 'forum thread'? Why is the M8 separate from the M9 but not the M9 from the monochrom or M240? Just my thoughts... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Hi jip, Take a look here Why not create a seperate M240 forum?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

jonoslack Posted September 25, 2013 Share #5 Posted September 25, 2013 Yes - I think so too. There is a separate M8 forum It seems eminently sensible to me. All the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted September 25, 2013 Share #6 Posted September 25, 2013 The M8 is a crop camera. If we had a separate forum for the M240, why not for the MM then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 25, 2013 Share #7 Posted September 25, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Because the Monochrom is basically an M9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcg Posted September 25, 2013 Share #8 Posted September 25, 2013 M9 and M240 are very distinct products. Many people will have settled with the M9 for the long term. Others will have moved exclusively to the M240 - or even bought one as their first Leica. It certainly is a nuisance having to trawl through the forum having to spot the relevant threads. Surely there are enough M240 threads by now to be able to create a new forum which won't look empty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith (M) Posted September 25, 2013 Share #9 Posted September 25, 2013 My thought too - whilst it is useful to occasionally read what is going on in the M(240) world, as an M9 owner I find it cumbersome to have to trawl through all the headers looking for M9 threads.

Jjbru Posted September 25, 2013 Share #13 Posted September 25, 2013 This is an excellent idea, i have been waiting for months for this and as m240 has now nearly his first anniversary, it would be great to achieve it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photolandscape Posted September 26, 2013 Share #14 Posted September 26, 2013 I was against what you are suggesting early on in 2013, but I would tend to agree with you--time to separate M9 and MM from M240 discussions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jip Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share #15 Posted September 26, 2013 What if there will be 3 more new Leica's then there will be Leica M9/M9p/ME/M240/m250/M260.... ALL in 1 sub forum, this is too much, it is already too much... the only thing I see is talk about the M240 problems and people asking if they should upgrade or what not... Nothing positive anymore on the M9 or M9-P let alone the small amount of M-E users... I really hope they will split it since it would make sense: M8/M8.2 (same sensor) M9/M9p/M-E (same sensor) and the MM (same sensor again) M240 (different sensor, different type of camera in a whole if you ask me.) I think the M8/M9 share more similarities then the M240 and M9. Time for a new, separate M240 subforum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcg Posted September 26, 2013 Share #16 Posted September 26, 2013 On a quick search of the term "240" in the titles of the existing forum there are 112 hits - three clear pages of threads. http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/search.php?searchid=3264106 In addition to this there are likely to be other threads which do not have "240" in their title - and of course it is these which are likely to be missed if someone is trying to have a "trawl" through the forum for relevant threads. It would only take a few minutes for Admin to access the vB admin console and to create a new forum based on the existing forum, rename it, alter the name of the existing forum and then start off by moving all 112 threads so far into the new forum. A little more time will get the rest moved in over the next few days. Better to do it now before the number of M240 threads turns this simple task into a more serious job.
