View Full Version : How do you want the forum organized?

Give me your ideas and feedback.

Do you want it as simple and minimal as possible?

Do you want more categories (if so, which ones?)

Be sure to read through the posts prior to yours, second any ideas you like, give your (gentle) feedback on all ideas. I need to know what you as a community want for the board. I'm all for giving you what you want but I think I need a more clear picture of what that is. :D

Thanks everyone!

(I'll leave this up for a week so that we can get as much feedback as possible).

I think it's just fine the way it is. :D All the categories are just over one browser window height. They're all pretty self-explanatory.

The only change I would make is to edit Featured Scrapper to put the current Featured Scrapper's name in the decription. Something like "A new scrapper every other week. Our current Featured Scrapper is Julie! Browse her gallery for inspiration or pay the ultimate compliment and scraplift her!"

Shannon
06-30-2006, 10:02 AM
Oh that's a good idea about the Featured Scrapper description! Thanks Bill!

I really like the way the board is organized right now, but maybe you can combine the digi store and the digi designer subgroup to one group?

I usually use the "view new post since your last visit", so the organisation donīt mean _that_ much to me.
But I love the help, the chatter, the calls and the annoncement group :)

I also like the idea of combining the digistore/digidesigner into one category.

Other than that - I think it's great.

Oh - and having a link to the gallery from the forums :wink:

Sulis

I agree with the combination Digi Store/Digi Designer. Also I think the Chatter forum and Digital Help could be combined too. Other than that, I like everything as it is :D

Stephanie
06-30-2006, 10:35 AM
I will gently say that I like the Help & Chatter section separated. :wink:

I agree--the digi designer and digi store categories could easily be combined and be good. Anything else is great the way it is!!

OliveJuice
06-30-2006, 11:25 AM
I'll differ from the norm that seems to be happening...I like the chatter and the designer stuff separate. I don't like having to scroll through all the chatting to see the sale/new product stuff. But that's just me. :) I think it is great how it is!

ETA: Woopsie....i misunderstood what was being suggested. I agree with that...the digistore/designer could be combined. LOL I'm a nut! :)

I'll also agree to combine the digistore/digi designer announcements into one forum.

Other than that I like it how it is. I don't like when there are too many forums to check because I tend to miss more posts that way. There is a good number, right now.

Oh, yes, a link to the gallery from the forums would be great also!

Di-ahh
06-30-2006, 01:26 PM
I concur with all above it seems!

Digistore/digi designer announcements could be one forum...

Everything else is great!

But the large, massive, moving at the speed of sound, Chatter forum must stay the same! Love that things are mentioned in chatter and in other forums. :D

GinaMiller
06-30-2006, 01:55 PM
As simple as possible! One of the reasons I don't frequent other boards often is because I hate having to navigate through billions of forums. I think some people think more organization is easier but actually, I think it's more of a hassle!

Shannon
06-30-2006, 01:56 PM
So two more questions....

1) Would you like it if designers/stores made their announcements in the Announcement section AND in the chatter section so that you won't miss it? I mean, we don't have to require it but if they were to do that, would you be ok with that?

2) Someone mentioned wanting a photography forum. Is that idea worth having another forum added to you?

Shannon
06-30-2006, 01:57 PM
Oh, one more question....

Would you like me to sticky the praise threads every day?

GinaMiller
06-30-2006, 02:04 PM
YES to all 3.

Sulis
06-30-2006, 02:11 PM
Photography forum would be great :D But keep as few forums as possible. That was one of the reasons I liked 2peas - one digital forum with everything in there. It saves having to look through everything. I would say group together anything which can comfortably grouped.

mnm_y2
06-30-2006, 02:12 PM
I think the photography section would be cool. As well as the sticky for the day with the praise thread so that it decreases the amount of threads on the same thing.. not that there's ever enough praise for the wonderful layouts!

I think if we just have one section for announcements - as noted before - to combine store/designer -- I think that would be ok w/ me to just have in one spot --- because it would have ALL threads to be about announcements from stores/designers --- not in between other threads if it's in the chatter section.

Also - I like having the DigiHelp separate. This way questions might not get lost in the normal chatter and have better chances of being answered.

Holly
06-30-2006, 02:19 PM
i guess i never miss any NEW posts because i don't navigate through the forum categories - i just click on that link in the top right that says, "view new posts" and there they all are. if i reply or am done reading, i just click my back button and keep on truckin'.

LOL

Everything suggested sounds great so far!! I like the idea of sticking the daily praise threads (do you have time for that?)

AndreaBurns
06-30-2006, 02:49 PM
I was just going to suggest Photography...

also... maybe a thought, but a Photography Section to the Gallery? That would be nice!

brittanylyn
06-30-2006, 03:22 PM
A sticky for the daily LOs would be really great--that way two threads don't get started on accident. :)

I prefer them the way they are now, not in chatter. :)

liannallama
06-30-2006, 07:44 PM
My suggestion is something you are already doing! I like the simple titles for the sections. Some boards try to get too cutsey or attached to a theme and then I can't figure out where the section I want is!

You know what I mean? Like if they have an animal theme and they call a section "Zany Zebra's Playhouse" when it's really just chat, so you have to read all the descriptions to figure out where to go!

Also, I like designers/stores together!

Lisa
06-30-2006, 09:16 PM
yes
yes
and yes!!
i also agree with holly. i never weed through all of the forums because i never miss anything new! the "new posts since last visit" option is great!

coloradogigi

I'm all for having a photography forum/gallery, too. That would be great. That's the only thing I feel I am really missing.

Thanks for listening.

More questions:

1) Do you want (for the time being) for me to be the one to start the praise train threads each day so that we don't risk getting multiple threads? This would just be for a little while and then I will probably assign someone the job and give them moderator status so they can sticky it.

2) Designers - do you want your own private forum where you can discuss design-industry topics that can't be viewed by the general public?

3) Non-Designers - would you be ok with designers having a private forum to discuss design-industry topics? It wouldn't be to isolate them or to elevate them. But sometimes designers need to discuss business-related topics that any business wouldn't put on a public forum. This wouldn't be their private hang out. It would be for business-only topics.

mrs2a50
07-01-2006, 08:16 AM
I like the categories as they are, except designers/stores announcements I'd like to see combined

I'd rather the announcements stay out of chatter so it doesn't get too bogged down.

Photography forum/gallery would be great!

I have no problem with designers having their own area as long as they don't abandon us and/or talk about us behind our backs :)

You do what you want with the praise threads - I definitely don't want more work for YOU!

LOL

Ditto. This way there is only one forum for people like us who like to see everything, and, if people want to avoid certain forums, they can do it the other way and have everything organized.

As for praise threads, one person starting it and sticking it would be great.

Arn't there other places that designers congregrate to discuss industry business? I kinda like that there's not too much going on behind the scenes here, and this coming from a designer (on hiatus) and just a scrapper. But, I honestly don't care either way.

I don't mind this at all.

I also wanted to add that I don't like tons of forums. I prefer the least number possible. I'm much too lazy to click into tons of forums to read the threads in each one.

I love the idea of a designer "business" forum. and like you said, it wouldn't be for the purpose of exclusivity, but just to feel like we won't be judged on some of our business questions and stuff, kwim? It would be the only one like it (private I mean) on the web and therefor would benefit all members by bringing in more traffic imo.

i agree that we should keep the "rooms" to a minimum, my reason is that it keeps everyone in one place and keeps the party like atmosphere. it's clear where the majority is hanging out.

I think this may be the same site host as scrapbook.com, but one thing I just love about their boards is that they let you see how many new posts are on a particular thread and whenever you click on a thread, it takes you to the last post you read so you don't have to go through pages of stuff. Any chance of that working here?

Shannon
07-01-2006, 09:57 AM
We're not sticking with phpbb. We're moving to vbulletin. Once we've bought it and tested it out, I'll see what I can do about that! I'd love that too!

andyapc
07-01-2006, 10:06 AM
Like others, I would definitely prefer a limited number of forums just to keep it simple.

With vbulletin, will there be a way to access all the threads that we've "subscribed" to (for lack of a better way of putting it but KWIM?? When we click a thread to watch for any replies - will there be a way to see all the threads that we've clicked? Or am I just being dumb as that's already possible? :oops: )

2) Designers - do you want your own private forum where you can discuss design-industry topics that can't be viewed by the general public?

1) I don't think it's necessary for you to start the daily thread, unless you have a burning desire to do so. Since you're on the West Coast, what if you have a late-rise one morning, you know? And for what it's worth, I don't like when people jump the gun and start the thread at night. I hate when days run into each other like that. :lol:

2) I'll go with the majority. I don't feel I need it, but if it's there, I'll probably pop-in.

Like all the ideas presented, but a little concerned about the designers-only forum. Even though it wouldn't be your intention, it would be separating us into two groups, and I love that everything here is so open.

Also, how would you qualify designers? Just people selling in stores? How about people giving away their kits on their blogs? Or those that are trying to break into designing? I'm afraid it might just open up a can of worms.

Shannon
07-01-2006, 11:27 AM
Ok, I asked Gina (because she's on East Coast time) to start our praise train thread everyday. She'll make sure it's stickied to the top for you.

Continue the discussion on all other topics. Especially on the designer's forum. I need to hear from all sides!! Thanks everyone! :D

GinaMiller
07-01-2006, 11:28 AM
Thanks Mare (oh I mean, Shannon) :lol:

Ok everyone- I am usually up pretty early... so I will try to get the threads started asap each morning. I'll title them all in caps: PRAISE GAME and then the date... so you know what to look for. Mon-Fri and the weekend will be wrapped into one.

;)

I'd like to have maybe just one forum for challenges, not split up into sketch/ inspiration etc. etc

I like the idea of Designer Forums too :)

SteinwaysMom/DebraTope
07-01-2006, 01:05 PM
Shannon,

I kind of like simplicity, which is why the 2 Peas forums were nice.

But I do like the fact that the 'commercial' announcements are in a separate forum. I like to specifically go to that forum and 'window shop'. I think the digital designer/store announcements could be combined.

Adding announcements to 'chatter' might bog it down...it seems like commercial stuff is better left to it's own forum.

Shannon
07-01-2006, 01:48 PM
What are everyone's thoughts on the inspiration section? Do you use it? Do you like having it? Could you do without it? Would you rather everything be in one inspiration forum or do you like it broken up?

Shannon
07-01-2006, 01:50 PM
Oh, and if we do keep it, should we request that each site have a representative that posts links to their challenges here each week?

GinaMiller
07-01-2006, 01:50 PM
I like it- but I think I might be more apt to see something if was all in one section... kinda of like "come here and be inspired by anything & everything" as opposed to deciding if I want to find a sketch, find a journaling challenge, etc.

RatherBscrappin
07-01-2006, 01:57 PM
Yeah, I'm in agreement with Gina - would like to see a combined Inspiration forum ... andthen having a rep from each site posts their challenges would be awesome! :D

mnm_y2
07-01-2006, 02:01 PM
I kind of like the idea of having ONE section for ALL challenges. This gives us a chance to post current challenges and link to our layouts --- and youc can see all the challenges (diff types) happening for the week.. or month or whatever.

nina
07-01-2006, 02:02 PM
oh wow, so much questions.
i totally agree with sticking the daily praise thread

Also, how would you qualify designers? Just people selling in stores? How about people giving away their kits on their blogs? Or those that are trying to break into designing? I'm afraid it might just open up a can of worms.

I forgot to address this...

It would only be separating the groups for the purpose of business. I've already found that there are some things that I would like to address the stores/designers about that I wouldn't want in the general public. Not because it's underhanded but because it's bad marketing to show all your cards ahead of time, ya know? I know that many designers have expressed a need to have a meeting ground where they can bounce ideas off of each other - ideas that they aren't ready for the public to know about until it's time to unveil it. I would be a part of this forum so I can assure you it wouldn't be an exclusive watering hole but definitely a networking situation.

I think it needs to be limited to designers who are selling in a store. I'm thinking about this not only from the designers perspective (since DST is a resource for them as well) but from our perspective at DST - having a way to discuss with a whole portion of my demographic in a setting where they can feel comfortable with giving me honest feedback. I want them to be able to tell me what they need without risking damaging their business.

Anyway, that's what I'm thinking. Nothing is settled and I still want to hear everyone's opinions on it! :D

IOD - Sally
07-01-2006, 02:48 PM
well said Shannon, I think that makes alot of sense

Sulis
07-01-2006, 03:52 PM

Shannon

After reading through the whole thread, I do like the way you've plotted out the forums. I think it would be the best way to fit in what everyone wants/needs without breaking everything down too much.

As far as the designer forum goes, I like the idea. While I often spend a lot of time Googling to figure out how to do something I want to learn (like felt. Where on EARTH is a felt tutorial???), it would be awesome to have a place to come ask other designers stuff like that. I know I have a LOT to learn in terms of marketing & promotions & stuff and would love to have a place to learn from people like Holly & Gina & others who have gone through the roof in popularity.

Just my $.02.

Nettio
07-01-2006, 09:44 PM
I have some concerns about the designer-only forum as well. For one, this site was created to be open to everyone. It seems like it could very easily cause a seperation by having a seperate forum for just designers. Even if you did say that it was for business-only, no one outside the forum would know if that was all that was really going on or not. It just seems like it could create tension when there doesn't need to be.

I understand why designers would want a place where they can discuss issues without it being open for everyone. However, I don't really like the idea that if you don't have a site you can't access the information. I for one would love to learn more about the business side of things since I'm a business major. I'd be more than willing to give advice or answer questions about things related to that. Can't guarantee I'd have a good answer but I'd be willing to help! lol I have no interest in designing or having my own site or anything like that.

Why not offer that section as a pay option? Maybe have it be free to those who already have an established site but offer a fee for those that might be interested in the information as well. It would help to keep the section exclusive but without making it so that people would totally feel excluded.

Hope that all makes sense. It was just a thought.

Shannon

When the whole site goes live (Aug. 1), you'll be able to link from one page to the next, easily. For now, we'll have to go off the links on the main page. We're getting a new board client and we don't want to waste time messing with the coding on this one. It should just be for another week or so before we get the new board. :D

I have only one suggestion...I like to be able to preview a topic before clicking on it...when you move your cursor over the name of the topic or thread it gives you the first couple of sentences in a post..this keeps me from reading topics that I may not be interested in.

JMHO. :)

07-02-2006, 12:46 PM
What if there were an "Ask the pros" forum?

Shannon
07-02-2006, 12:59 PM
Well if the idea is to keep the forums simple and not too many of them, then we could make the Digital Scrapbook Help section a Scrapbook/Design Help section so that aspiring designers could ask for tutorials and help from established designers.

The intention is not to elevate designers to a higher status but there does need to be a line drawn somewhere as far as who could post in that section. DST is here for the scrappers AND the designers and we have to consider what designers need as well.

IF we do this forum (and again, it's still not decided, I'm just addressing the concerns that are being voiced) you'll have to trust me that it won't be an exclusive "hang out". That's why I called it a conference room. It's to talk business.

Again, it's not decided. But if designers are telling me that this would really help them and I know it would help me to be able to get their feedback on the site in a forum rather then 500 emails, then I do want to at least give this idea a fighting chance. I don't want anyone to feel threatened by it though so I'm still listening to all of the opinions with an open mind. I just ask that everyone be sure to think of this idea from all perspectives.

Thanks everyone. :D

Speaking of designers ... I am constantly emailing designers for their TOU. I always check Jen's blog and P4D but there are so many designers out there that haven't posted on these lists. And of those designers, several don't list their TOU on the site they sell at - they include a Read Me file with their download but there is no way to ascertain their TOU prior to purchase without having to email them before purchasing (although I do realize that several designers want you to email them about commercial use anyway but at least I would be aware of that because it would be in their TOU that I would be able to read before purchase).

I'm just thinking that DST is bound to get HUGE with designers because it is such an open community, so I'm wondering if there can be some sort of forum/thread for TOU with a suggestion that if a designer posts an ad/freebie/etc., at DST, they post their TOU in that thread as well?

Please don't get me wrong ... I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jen's professional use list (and I am very grateful for all the work that obviously went into that list) list and the info at P4D - just wondering if there can be some sort of "catch all" thing here if so many designers will potentially be visiting here?

Jane_A
07-02-2006, 07:25 PM
Shannon, I would have no problem with a separate forum for designers. I don't consider them at a higher level and to be honest I don't want to read a lot about things that I'm not interested in. I think it's a good idea for them to have their own forum. I don't design and have no interest in it but I think it would be great for them.

Ditto. What qualifies a person access into this branch of the forums? If someone were interested in selling their designs but didn't quite fit the terms could they apply for entry? Or were you thinking of the designers only connected with DST?

Shannon
07-03-2006, 09:00 AM
Well DST is a neutral site so anyone and everyone is connected to DST. But I do think that it needs to be designers who are actually selling their products in a store. Digital Design is a business that DST is here to support. There are plenty of aspiring designers or people who design for hobby and DST is here to support them as well. But from a business perspective, DST needs to be in communication with those that have established themselves enough to be selling (those are your featured designers, the people purchasing the advertising that will fund our chat room, the ones who will be hosting your chats, etc.)

My thinking is that this is without a doubt a type of forum that will spring up in the very near future (if not here, then somewhere else!) If we want DST to be a one-stop resource for all digital scrappers and designers, I am starting to feel that we would be remiss to not have this type of forum for them. If it's created by someone else and held off site, then what non-designers fear will most likely be true - designers will congregate there and hang out there more regularly. (DST relies just as much on the involvement of the designers as it does on the involvement of the scrapper.) So if the forum is here at DST, we would be able to keep it a business-only forum where they can stop in there for brief communication and then easily hop up to chatter for more fun.

Anyway, continue discussing. I know that some people are probably thinking I should just make the decision by myself but I do really care about the thoughts and feelings of the people in this community.

Shannon, I like all your forum plans. (what you have planned out so far).. At first, I wasn't fond of having designer only forum.. as many expressed that how would you define a designer.. But I totally understand that your point of view in last post. IF not you, than someone else will get this going.. and I really want DST to be one stop place for all- designers and scrappers. I think your guideline of 'designer'(those who're selling in stores) is a fair one. At least, if you have all the designers hanging out here, those who do want to get into designing, will have pros helping them along. And they can too start selling in stores and get added to designer forum. It really CAN turn into win-win situation for all.

Sorry I have to admit I haven't read all the suggestions in this thread yet :oops:

but thought a forum or thread for newcomers - to say hello and post their first LO here in the gallery. I just came across someone's 1st LO in the gallery and thought she did a wonderful job. But there are SO many wonderful LOs that sometimes they can get overlooked - so it's nice to get your 1st one noticed :)

I definately go for simple, i goto some sites and never post in the message board, because there are just too many categories, seriously i could never keep up with 30-40 catogories of threads on one board LOL

I do have a suggestion for another though LOL (right now there isnt too many dont worry!!)

My suggestion is one where everyone could post about contests, and challenges on other sites :)

I think it's fine as it is,, I hate forums with endless categories, so you don't know where to look first. Having said that, I always use the new posts link anyway so it doesn't really matter.
I think the obvious categories should be covered,, and I like deena's suggestion (prev post) but other than that,, you're the boss!

This is a suggestion/question that has to do with the gallery--i like how there is the option at 2peas where you can specify the number of pages in a LO. So you can include like a 10 page album but not fill up and bog down the entire gallery--it's all included in the ONE post. Would that be a possibility?

Does that make any sense at all?!?!? :D

Thanks so much, Shannon and Erick for ALL of your hard work and willingness to listen to everyone's opinions! This is a GREAT site.

I think having more than 15 posts on a page, to cut down on the clutter in the index of threads. Not 50 like some message boards we know, say like 25.

Bill, you mean you want the forum index to be just 15 threads per page? Did I understand right?

Brooke - Photopost (the gallery system we use) will allow you to upload 8 pages at a time so that they all have the same credits. But they won't be one photo. That's something specific to two peas gallery.

No, the thread list page is fine, it's the messages themselves...how you get just 15 messages and it goes to page 2.

Maybe it's just me. Anybody else? 'Cuz if it's just me then don't worry about it.

Just a suggestion...add an NSBR board, and then rename the Chatter board to Digiscrapping Chatter. The rest of the setup looks great to me! Thanks for asking for our opinions, Shannon!

Someone probably suggested this already (haven't read through all 6 pages LOL) but can we have it so that if you hover the mouse over the title you can see the first post and decide if you want to open it?

(Of course you may already have that function and I just haven't worked it out in which case I should just shut up and go to bed now .. :)

I have no idea if it's been mentioned but I was thinking a master calendar would be rather nice. One where all the shops/desingers could post sales, crops, chats, etc. Perhaps laid out by the month, but then you could click on specific days for a timeline.
