Complicated board system?

BillyPhatu · 09 Sep 2006, 12:41

I might be the only one, but for me, the layout of various different boards in the MLUKFC forum is just soooo confusing. I appreciate the need to organise topics into different sections, but does anyone think there are too many sections?

My confusion comes about when I'm trying to check for the latest info on Bat III and any tour news and details about appearances in the build up to Oct 31st. Naturally i would go to the Bat III and Tour Talk sections, but often, all the juicy news is in the General section... I have to scan over several sections to find information. And then, there may be several pieces of information in one thread. Had somebody not made another thread about the proper RAH tickets going on sale yesterday, I would have totally missed it. And then, threads are moved all the time to make things more complicated.

In my opinion the community is too complicated. I just don't know where to look for info and discussions - so I end up scanning all of the sections, which makes it the same as having everything in one section anyway! Where should I look for the latest info on appearances and tour dates, for example?

Does anybody agree?

C'mon not all are so complicated. I have done a "collection" thread with all the bat3 promo stuff which I have found in the different threads.

I genually don't have a problem with it and never have. In fact I think the site is very simplistic (in a nice way) which is ideal for the majority of users.

It doesn't really bother me and I find it simple enough tbh. Saying that I do think that the tour talk section is wasted a bit. It should maybe be renamed to ML Live or something like that and then dates of all live gigs and everything pertaining can go in there. Just a thought.
