the pits suggestion.

LUXO_8 · 09-03-2005, 09:26 PM

just wondering if it is possoble to make sub-categories, ie V8's, F1, Cart etc in the pits area for the various motorsport types, rather than having to go through all the different posts to find what your after.

IMO would make it easier to browse that area..

also just go a little o/t a bit. In the pits could we please have a sticky regarding the issue of race results in the topic heading being annoying.
thanks

Could agree more, and this boiled over the other day when someone spoiled it big time!

Why not create a sub catagory specifically for race results then. Then its no surprise when you go in there what you are going to see.

had a crappy day mate........
must remember not to take anything laminge says seriously......

tickford2001 · 12-03-2005, 03:05 PM

kerry is right actually, wayne may have a valid point!

except i dont think it should be broken up too much as some categories dont get much discussion.

maybe:

-V8 supercar
-F1/Cart
-All other forms of motorsport

or

-Australian Motorsport (V8s, BRUTES, etc.)
-International Motorsport (F1, CART, etc.)

i think that having a section for each category would be just too much...some sections would rarely get a post

LUXO_8 · 12-03-2005, 03:35 PM

sounds good

trueblue · 12-03-2005, 06:13 PM

YEah.. i like this way..

I don't see the need for it, the pits are not that busy with topics that they need to be divided up, its not like topics are going over the page on the day they are posted or anything, in fact even when the F1 nd v8's were on over the same weekend you didn't really have much more than 1/2 a page of topics in there that were active.
Witht he focus on trying to keep the forums as slim as possible, the extra here is not really required IMO

Agreed. Leave as is.

Laminge · 12-03-2005, 06:44 PM

I agree with DK on this point

Anyhows wont take much just to use V8, F1 etc at the start of the thread topic as you post it!

now there is a sensible compromise! this option gets my vote

Laminge · 13-03-2005, 08:56 AM

its not a matter of going there SB, but by reading the forums by "new posts".

Its no big deal, there is a sticky in that section just asking that people actually post the result in the thread instead of the tittle of the thread

Chucky · 14-03-2005, 04:59 PM

I agree with DK on this too.. That particular Forum doesn't get enough traffic for it to be split IMO..

M14A-Mclaren · 14-03-2005, 05:53 PM

I like it the way it is, split up is kind of a nightmare, like on the other site when he had it set up split with autobot, bloody awful.

Noooo! Okay, who does that account belong to? Fess up.

LUXO_8 · 14-03-2005, 10:36 PM

yep sounds fine by me, now of only people will actually do it....

Laminge · 15-03-2005, 08:12 AM

Autobot has been setup with his own seperate forums - autobotforums.com

he seems happy there!!!

M14A-Mclaren · 18-03-2005, 04:33 PM

I also have a suggestion for the pits, can we make it a rule or guideline that when people are posting race results they dont post a new thread for every session there is (eg Practise 1,2, Qualifying) Maybe have one for the whole weekend or the day of events, then we dont have like 5 threads for one race weekend.

tickford2001 · 22-03-2005, 12:49 PM

yes, makes sense mate, i will endeavour to make sure i keep an eye on the pits and merge any threads that do get posted seperately

Ghiadude · 23-03-2005, 05:02 AM

what about if we give each catagory a results sticky thread. then all results are posted in there, leaving the rest of the page for genuine discussion ? it also stops the dodos like me from putting results in the subject line accidental like.
also this way if anyone posts we can merge it into those threads instead of well.....the mess we have now???
