Loz Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Help!!Today I started an EDF-like forum for my local area. I kind of need some help to make it look... well... lived in. I'd really appreciate it if some of the EDFers could drop in, post a few things and generally make the place look busy. Especially in the Lounge area - maybe recreate some of the well-loved threads we have here on the EDF? A good, traditional EDF heated debate?The forum is Northfielder - Northfields Community ForumPS Any feedback on the new forum would be appreciated too!PPS Huge thanks to Mark for his help and guidance... and permission to steal a lot of look and feel of the EDF!

Otta Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 May I suggest you make your welcome threads sticky so they stay at the top for a while.And although you've put at the top "wecome to the NEW forum" it's not that obvious, and I think you should make it much clearer so that people realise it's new and needs people to build it up.

Thanks for the feedbackWe've delivered over 1500 flyers in the last two days and I have to say, there is a very fine line between a spring loaded mailflap and a vicious beartrap for fingers!
