We currently have two test forums. Neither is complete but there is enough there to see what we like and don’t like. You can open both forums and go back and forth to try out different features if it helps to answer the questions.
http://astroforum.hopto.org/
and
http://astronomy.hopto.org/
Please post your comments in regards to this forum (the one you are currently in). What I’m looking for are the basic things. We can change the looks of the forum ie forum titles, sub forums, groups etc etc so don’t focus too much on those. What we need to see is just how easy it is to both post and administer the forums.
So here’s what I need from each of you.
From a Co-Admin point of view.
• What do you like / dislike.
• How easy is it to moderate.
• Warnings and banning.
• Monitor activities.
• Please add any other concerns you have.
From a USER point of view.
• Registration
• 1st post thoughts
• Ease of posting, replying,
• Finding what you are looking for.
• Moving from place to place.
• Think in terms of first time users. What are THEY going to think?
And finally of the two, which one should we go with and why?
