Hi guys,
If you recall, we had a Community Conversation on our Discord channel back in March, discussing a number of changes that we were looking to make, and the forum layout and our new directory add-on were widely discussed. This was five months ago, so I'm certainly late to the game on addressing these discussions. Anyways, as far as the forum layout goes, there have been some interesting changes. The Promotion Directory has been brought to being only one section, as it was many years ago. We felt that we could roll with this with the implementation of our new directory page. The directory page is still a work in progress in terms of bringing all of these active advertisement topics to the directory, so please bear with us in that regard.
You'll see that we have hidden our Community Reviews forum. It's now a sub-forum under Website Management. Given that we disbanded our official review service nearly two years ago, it seemed like it was time to take that off the main page. You'll also notice that we have introduced some new webmaster discussion forums. The forums that are totally new are Software Talk, Content Creation, and Monetization & eCommerce. These forums have been introduced for now, but we'll see how it goes. If these forums don't go over well in terms of activity, then we'll definitely look to mix things up again. These new forums have very little content at the moment, so we will be working on moving the relevant topics buried within Website Management to their new designated forums.
Finally, you'll just see that titles have been reworded a little bit. Nothing special. Promotion Tricks & Help was changed to Marketing & SEO. Software & Hosting Discussions has been changed to Web Hosting & Domains. Also, you'll notice that there is now Web Hosting Offers within that forum. We've got a number of web hosts that utilize FP, so this forum will be a location where these web hosts can share their services or any special deals that they are offering. The hope is that web hosts will be interested in offering exclusive discounts to members of our community in this forum. Also, we have reintroduced the Website Appraisals sub-forum, which is another thing that FP had once upon a time.
Anyways, bonus points to those peeps that go and use these new forums right away. They're waaaayyy too empty.
Feel free to share your questions, comments, and concerns, and hopefully we'll have everything looking nice and tidy here shortly.
