Following up on a recent suggestion received from members, we created a new forum for Family History Memorabilia
We are now reading comments that threads posted on the new forum are going unnoticed and the previous support received for such threads is just not happening.
We felt the idea for the new forum was a good one (we wouldn't have created it otherwise!) so the question is how do we get members to notice what has been added to it.
We all have different ways of navigating FTF. Some members may log in and only view one or two forums. Others may log in and do a quick review of all forums. Some restrict their navigation to the Community Boards, others to the Research section. Some used the "subscribed threads" option.
If you use any of these methods then it is inevitable you are going to miss something!
One suggestion to overcome this problem is that members use the NEW POSTS tab on the navigation bar. You can restrict your searches to RESEARCH posts if you are not interested in COMMUNITY posts, equally you can restrict searches to COMMUNITY if you are not interested in RESEARCH. You can choose ALL NEW POSTS which combines both RESEARCH and COMMUNITY. By using this sort of access to new postings, it should mean that you will not miss anything which could potentially be of interest to you. Why not give it a try to see if it helps?
If you have any other suggestions of how we can help in making things more obvious or easier to search then please don't hesitate to say!
