Tweety.Abd Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hey!So I've been thinking of this for a while lately, and I finally decided to request that the status box be moved to it's former position, i.e. immediately below the 'Shoutbox'. It's just most of the people are more interested in status box than the tag box, and it's just somewhat burdensome to scroll down to view them :P Anyways, I think it looks good below the 'Shoutbox' :)Note: Any members supporting my view, please like my post :)Thank you.

Administrator Lite Posted April 18, 2012 Administrator Share Posted April 18, 2012 You have to understand it from our point of view:* The shoutbox and status updates are value added functions to our forums.* We want to encourage forum posting (and in particular the usage of tags when a new topic is started). The forum posts is content that is always available (and searchable). The status updates are not. The shoutbox posts are pruned every 30 days.* Tags help find content easily and give an idea of key discussion areas for members.* They are a great starting point for guests and new members.I'm open to discussion, but it needs to well reasoned ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it would be permissible by forum rules to post a poll in the poll section to ask the users about this, but I think it'd be a great way to ask for what the people want. :) Nevertheless, I respect your opinion and I believe you base you decision on the best interests of us all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted April 18, 2012 Administrator Share Posted April 18, 2012 A poll probably isn't a good idea, as i'd prefer a well reasoned reply on the matter rather than number.The simple fact is; currently there is too much content which belongs in topics being posted in the Status Updates and Shoutbox.
