Abomination Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Minor suggestions: My impression is this link: http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/custom_services.html?category=59 Should be somewhere on this page, but is not. Maybe put the link back on that page so people can find it? http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/community.html More information about the topic: LINK Also, when viewing new forum content, I cannot tell if the topics listed are here: Invision Power Services > Invision Power Services, Inc. > IPS Company Feedback > IP.Board or here: Invision Power Services > IPS Resources > Peer-to-Peer Technical Support > IP.Board The first thread in the picture is in the feedback forums, the 2nd one is in peer support, was it intentional to have them look the same? As opposed to IP.Board.Feedback and IP.Board.Peer_support? I realize when viewing the forums it is obvious, but that does not show up in the New Content. It would seem easier for the people moderating this forum to be able to tell what part of the forum the topics are in, when viewing New Content. Yes, sometimes the title of the topic indicates what area it should be located, but not always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Charles was considering moving over to the links system that is supported as a community project (primarily by Brandon D), but I'm not positive if he's decided to or not. Something will happen with that area, we're just not sure what specifically yet.

Putting the entire breadcrumb trail there would be too much I'd think. I suppose we could show the breadcrumb when mousing over the forum name, but I don't think that would help that much.

Abomination Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 The entire links system is hidden at the moment, not just that one category. I believe Charles was considering moving over to the links system that is supported as a community project (primarily by Brandon D), but I'm not positive if he's decided to or not. Something will happen with that area, we're just not sure what specifically yet. Sounds great. :) Just letting you know that having resources like that known to the newer people can be important. General comment: It never ceases to amaze me how well thought out this company is. Don't want to buy the software to try it out? Then there is a free demo available. Need it longer? The time period is extended for everyone. Still not enough? Rent a Hosted Community with the software pre-installed. :) Need some custom work done? Here is a page of links to start looking. :thumbsup: There is just a couple of fine details such as how to order a smallest hosting account with the add ons (simply ask sales for it), and how to find the resources such as the link being discussed. It is possible that there are many people joining this site at a rapid pace, to evaluate your products, especially in the last 2 months. It is also possible that trend will continue. I think it would be a good thing to make the site as easy as possible to use, you've done all the hard work already. :) Hmm. You have a good point, but I'm also not sure what can be done about it. Do you have any proposals? Putting the entire breadcrumb trail there would be too much I'd think. I suppose we could show the breadcrumb when mousing over the forum name, but I don't think that would help that much. No... you don't want the entire bread crumb or mouseovers to show up. Just differentiating the names somehow would be fine. IP.Board.pps - for peer to peer support? IP.Board.fb - for feedback? IP.Board.pm - for product modifications? It was an observation, while it would make the site slightly easier to use, the primary beneficiary would be the staff of this forum, so they can see if things are misfiled. Feel free to ignore my suggestion. Although you may want to look at how other things are named (maybe), it is pretty easy to confuse the official 'IP.Converge' and the 'IP.Converge Modules' Community Project. Took me a while to realize they are not the same thing, and I've seen other people confused on other forums. I believe they thought that was not officially supported by the company, one is, one is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Walk in Faith Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hmm. You have a good point, but I'm also not sure what can be done about it. Do you have any proposals? Putting the entire breadcrumb trail there would be too much I'd think. I suppose we could show the breadcrumb when mousing over the forum name, but I don't think that would help that much. How about have that column show two rows of information like it shows when someone complete both the Topic Title and Topic Description? Have IP.Board listed on the top row and then the area it's in under it in the next row? Don't know if that could be done and how hard it would be to add, but you have it set up in the topic when starting a new topic, translate that to the forum names... I dunno.. just a suggestion thrown out there... Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
