Suggestion to reorganize site sections
« on: September 12, 2018, 07:35:52 AM »
Just a suggestion...There have been a lot of misplaced posts in the Unrestored Picture Thread section, usually when people need information about a particular year's feature.  That section is located above the standard 1st Generation General Discussion section.  To reduce the number of misplaced posts, either put the Unrestored Picture Section AFTER the General Discussion or make the Unrestored Picture Section a sub-forum of each General Discussion year.  I think the first alternative should be tried first.

Thanks will give it a try. Have noticed that some members drop their threads at the first point they find that is close - (like the Restoring section) Ignoring the full title that includes "General discussions that span across many different groups of years and models "

Sure if we reverse Restoring with the years broken down some would post in the year section and never see the second  Restoring section.  But since we expect that the Unrestored section gets additional threads at a much slower rate your suggestion may work well in that situation

If we place it after the General Discussion section we may incur the same issues we currently have since it will be one of the first sections at the top of the page. If we place it after all the individual years its near the bottom (right above Library) and some may never look there like they often ignore the Library as a resource. Will let this sit for a while to get some more input and see if we can find the best location rather than moving it about more that once   :)

Haven't had a ton if misplaced threads and the amount has reduced but promised to give it a try so have moved the Unrestored picture section to right below the 1st Generation 1964 1/2 - 1973 - Questions & general discussions that apply to a specific year Section because currently the pictures focus on those years.

We'll see how it goes just wanted to provide a heads up :)
