Ok, to set the stage, I'm a buyer first, a vendor second (finally). I've had issues with the layout of the Forums for some time. It may have worked in the beginning, but it's time for a serious revamp of the layout. It's crowded, requires a lot of scrolling, and the sheer mass of daily messages can be taxing to get through in a day. Hiding forums was a great idea at first, but what if you need a forum later, and you forgot you hid it? How difficult would it be to rearrange the main Forum page to where each program (Poser, Bryce, Photoshop, etc) had two or three subdivisions? Here's a rough example: ---------- POSER <--This is a header Moderators: 1. Product Showcase - Check out works in progress, product announcements, or communicate with the creator of the product. This is a forum for Poser product news. 2. Technical Support - Got a Poser problem? Here's where you can find help from other Poser users, and hopefully get back on track. 3. General Discussion - Doesn't fit in Product Showcase or Tech Support? Well, this is where it goes. Please, no advertising or site spam, unless specifically related to someone's discussion. ---------- Now, all the Poser-related forums are in ONE spot, and easily accessed by all interested parties. Don't want the Product Showcase? Don't go in there...but it's right there if you DO want it. Same layout can be used for any other program on the forum list. Now granted, some forums don't need all three. Ok, so don't make all three...not like they can't be added in later if necessary. It might also be a good idea to start breaking up the main page into smaller main areas, as well. Given the time, I could make some more suggestions...but as this thread relates only to Poser and the Product Showcase, I'll cut it here. Anyway, there's my two coppers, for what they're worth. CT
