Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Hi guys,

Great idea getting the categories up and running. It`s going to be much easier to keep track of the sorts of topics we`re interested in.  I know I`m not ready in the least for the actual paperwork of setting up a business, nor do I want tips on web stuff (though I might be able to offer some).

Can I make 3 quick suggestions?  Any one of them would be fine :).

1)  Does your forum software offer any kind of "New posts since last visit" page?  There`s no way I can afford the time to drill into every single category looking for new posts every day.

2) RSS feed.

3) Email alert for "new topic posted" versus "new topics and responses to existing topics".  I`m not sure this was functioning as intended -- I would much rather get an alert when a new topic is created (on a category-by-category basis) then to get email whenever anybody responds to anything.  If I want to follow an existing topic, there is already an "email notify me of replies" button.

I have never dealt with programming message boards, but I do
agree with BradStuff. It takes me a long time to “drill into every
single category looking for new posts every day” too. Also, I like
to read the feedback on topics I have posted responses. It is
good to read the feedback on my feedback post. It helps me
determine if my feedback and thoughts are interesting and
helpful. I would love a way to organize new topics and posts
since my previous online activity.

I think the catagory fonts are too big.  It would be great if they could fit more catagories "above the fold" so we don`t have to scroll down the page.  tabs with catagories on top might also be useful.
