would you mind if we collect existing M8 related threads and move them into the M8 section?

 

I think this is very helpful.

 

I always thought the original three forum divisions, Customer, Digital, Photos, alone were inadequate. Having sub-forums keeps topics organized and easy to locate.

 

I would even suggest that there be further sub-divisions added.

 

Customer Forum:

Service & Repair sub-forum

Dealers & Purchasing sub-forum

Leica History sub-forum

Digital Forum:

Leica Digital Rangefinder (M8) sub-forum

Leica DSLR (Digital-Module-R, R10?) sub-forum

Leica D Series (future Leica version of the L1) sub-forum

Leica Digital Consumer (Panasonic made Leicas) sub-forum

Computer Topics sub-forum

 

Film Forum:

M Series sub-forum

R Series sub-forum

Consumer Compact sub-forum

Photo Forum:

This is pretty much covered with current sub-forums although the addition of a avant-garde/abstract sub-forum might be useful.

 

General Topics:

Exhibitions & Galleries

Books

Legal Matters (copyright, permits, rights, etc.)

Insurance

Stolen Reports

 

Additionally, it is technically possible, with vBulletin, for moderators to migrate and close threads to help control topic creeping.

Although I agree with Geoff that some more deviding up would be appropriate I beleive his list is too detailed. The problem with sub deviding too much is that we'll miss postings. And the moderators will have a lot of work to do moving misplaced threads to the correct place.

.... boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, Geoff.

Lets place everything in a neat and ordered way, have more rules and some extra rules , then some extra extra sub rules of the sub folders with hidden rules and content.

Content forget about it it will make the forum look untidy

"close threads to help control topic creeping." that is just too stupid for words

Just for once, I agree!

 

Too many subdivisions will make it too difficult to keep track. We'll miss things. It may be neat and tidy to have everything in leetle boxes, but it's not user-friendly. PLEASE don't do this. At the moment I only have to flick between two sub fora. From a usability angle this is a disaster, and smacks of New Labour "organisation for our own good". Sub-division only helps the hard of thinking. I really disagree with this.

Excellent idea.

 

By the way, Klaus-Dieter, is your Varionoct the older version or the new one?

Golly, guys!

 

If we follow Geoff, we'll need to be sure to separate the various forums into black chrome and silver chrome versions; and we'll need to break out the finest M camera ever made, the M5, into its own separate sub-space...

 

And what about space for the à la cartists to gather? And a private room for the special editions? Maybe arrange them according to the color of their boxes, or according to the number of prints they came with.

 

:rolleyes:

What is the plural for forum ? Is it fora ?

In Latin the plural is 'fora.' In normal English as spoken by us normal Amurricans, it's 'forums.'

 

(And yes, we place our quotes outside the periods, and we've no idea what the Brits mean when they speak of "inverted commas" or "full stops." :))
