Hey all,
If you're reading this, chances are you've seen that we've made quite a few changes to the forum structure to make this easier to navigate for all involved. Some changes are common sense, some are more changes of necessity to help out our newer users in understanding the flow of things here, and some are just because we needed to clean house. But this marks the first of many parts of the transition to FP 2.0, or whatever we end up calling it, lol, with a forum cleanup! We still have more work to do, there will be forums added, merged and tweaked again in the near future as we finish planning out a few more things, but for now what you see is more logical flow to the FP forums so anyone can join and know where to go to post what they need.
What changed?
-We moved the Staff Vacancies and all Hiring posts in the News and Announcements Forum, as we feel that's really something that should be newsworthy 😉
--We added a Staff Changes thread to track the arrivals and departures of new staff, so we can keep you more up to date on when someone leaves the team as well as when someone joins.
-We moved (and renamed) the Welcome Wagon forum to be the first forum that new users see in an effort to promote engagement from the start!
-We moved Contests & Auctions to a new forum for easier tracking.
-We moved the FP Hot Seat to the index out of the Welcome Wagon for ease of use.
-We condensed the Community Matters forum down to just tech support, suggestions, feedback and our amazing Weekly Buletin. No more sub-forums galore 🙂
-We have moved ALL of our Forum Promotion Services to the brand new Package Depot category, making them front and center of the index and something to immediately draw the eye when scrolling. Everything you need for your site's services is right there in one area!
-We've streamlined the Promotion category, moving the services forums out and rearranging the directory, What's Going On (Now known as: What's Happening on Your Site?), the Battles and the Marketplace into new positions.
-We've merged the Marketplace down into one forum, using prefixes to help differentiate and search for content. We have also moved the Job Center and Exchange Central forums into the Marketplace for easier reading.
-Webmaster we have left untouched, as we have plans for this section moving forward 🙂
-Non-Promotion we have moved some of the forums into dedicated forums rather than sub-forums so they're visible and more easy to find.
That's it, there may be more tweaks here or there as we move forward, and we do have more changes planned on the horizon, but this has been our first big overhaul of the index and our first step towards creating the new, accessible, functional FP 🙂
We know that this will take some adjustment to truly get to know everything, but we hope you will see that this is truly a more legible and robust forum layout that makes the content stand out more for users of all levels. If you spot any issues, please let us know, otherwise welcome to our new forum layout 🙂
