Forum consolidation and improvements

**madmax** · 05-23-2007, 02:39 PM

Hiya Crew!

I've been doing some work on the forums to better organize specific topics and interests for better navigation and research. A few forums have been consolidated, and new sections have been created to help keep the growing amounts of activity on The Giants in the right place. Have a look!

If you have any suggestions, please post 'em here! We're busting our butts to make FG the best online community around, and easy to use.

Thanks and enjoy!

Best--

Max

Cool Deal Max,

I am on here often so I just look to the right on the home page at recent topics most of the time only ocasionally do I sheach by thread type. This site has an excellent search engine and format, mutch easier tio navigate than others.

It's already the best site on the web. The improvements are greatly appreciated and make it an even better place to come to.

Hi Max, well I still haven't seen a spot for vendors, If you had a place to put them so we could find them quickly I think it would be a great help and the vendors,(Paying ones!) would probably like it too.

But also the crew, has to try and remember that when they buy things from the advertisers to remember to say where you saw it, I know most of us try too.

Thanks

G'day Max,

Would be good if there was a search function on the forums... Maybe there is one already and I just can't see it.. lol

Cheers
Jason.

Thanks guys! Yes, there is a search engine in here, but funny enough, I've been working on improving this as well to capture all of our content at once.

Check this out and let me know what you think. In the header...

Looks god Max, but I would still like to see a vendors section, like say I want to buy a Vess prop, which by the way happened, I had to refresh over and over till it came up, Is there a way too make it easier to get to the sponsoring vendors?

Thanks.
