I don't know about you but I have trouble keeping up with it all these days.

Do you have any suggestions for us (the rival MIST forum doesn't seem to have got off the ground) - or do you like it as busy as possible?

We fear change.

We resist difference.

We will go and post in the other forum if Tony says so...

What you need to do is post it in the right forum anyway, over time they too will pick up, but only if they are used more by the regulars!

What seems to happen is that newbies start off anywhere, maybe posting in the PS2 forum, or the Game specific forums, but sooner or later they discover the FOG, and that's where they stay.

Morrigan, i see what you mean. The olny thin is, not everyone has the gap down the right hand side.

If you run your resolution in 800x600, the gap isn't there.

I dont mind the FOG being busy!
But really, if everyone wants to know whats going on in the other forums, how about having a table running down the side of the page(Right hand side perhaps?) displaying new topics that have been added in different forums(Maybe even coloured red?).
Then you could click on the 'new topic' and java will open up a small window displaying the headline message, or, displaying all headline messages in the particular forum you clicked. At their own choice they could then (Only if they want) visit the forum by clicking the Topic-link displayed in the Javascript box. That way people wouldn't have to click out of FOG and Click on Open forums each time, they could do it from FOG.
Im probably not making any sense, perhaps there is someone that will understand me.

The thing is, as SR are getting more poepl posting (which is a good thing, don't get me wrong..) the number of posts/new topics are inevitably going to go up as well.


What we need to do is find a way so that opics go in the right forum. I do it myself, last night when Liverool won, i posted that in here instead of the Footy forum, simply because i knew more people would read it if it was in here.

I agree the topic headings pages should be longer.

It shall be done.

No please go and use the other FOG.
