Forum Suggestions and Feedback

Wayne

Now that some of the kinks are worked out, and everyone can post. I'm looking for any suggestions or feedback you may have for the forum.

If you have any ideas on sections to add. Or ideas for engagement. Let me know down below.

Also, I'm looking for moderators for this place. If you'd like to mod here, feel free to post a comment below letting me know you're open to modding. Right now only need a couple dedicated people.

Can ATF links possibly be used for "original recipe" posts Wayne?

Wayne

Mixalott yes

Post for flavor substitute.

gwedo1971 I just posted the Abbreviations I have in "Flavorings and Ingredients" for you.

I think it looks great, however its a bit different from the usual php forums(on design), but it would be nice that instead of people only using links for recipes, they post the recipe and then the link as needed, otherwise it looks like they are redirecting traffic to another website, the whole idea of a forum is that they post comments and suggestions, which i think it would help for people stay on the forums more, if you send the traffic to another website, be atf or elr i would just post the comment on that website recipe instead of the forum.

Kayu When I first made this forum, I was able to have ATF shortcodes which I use on my site. Since I made it off-site I can't really add them right now since this platform doesn't allow adding extensions yet. Hopefully in the future we can have native ATF embeds.

Wayne oh! thats a shame that add-on looks like it would be awesome! i think i need to get into the habit of checking forums again!

Just a quick suggestion, the sign up page doesn't allow you to use Capital letters in your username but it only specified use of letters, numbers and dashes.
I had to switch to the desktop version of the site from mobile because the hit boxes were abit off and it cut off the top bar notification about what's allowed in your username/password so I had no idea why it wasn't allowing me to sign up on my first few attempts.

I have time to help you mod if you still need a hand. I have never done it before though so you would have to let me know what I would need to do.

Wayne

CrazyChef That's a good idea!

Courtney awesome I'll keep that in mind when I add mods!

I'm really liking this forum so far! Have you considered adding a "New Member Introduction" area?

Is there a way for unread posts to come to the top? Am I missing something?

Jackymax

laurie9300 If you put your cursor to the very left of the page a menu comes up. Is that what you meant?

Jackymax

Is there a way for certain things to be labelled as to what country they're available they're in, or where the original poster is from?
I've noticed some brands are only available in US, or Australia, but I'm in the UK.
This would be extra handy for bargains etc. ?

Perhaps a thread dedicated to clone requests that don't contain any research or notes. I.e a thread just for saying "does anyone have a recipie for x."

I'm also down to be a mod if there are any slots left open for it. I'm always bouncing around here.

Wayne

RockyHarlow_Rusty_T I saw your Discord message about this too. I think just the natural way low-effort posts aren't really engaged with, will help push them towards the bottom. I think even if I make a section separate for these posts, it won't make too much of a difference. Hopefully as more people engage in posts with more effort (and more people read the "etiquette" post), it'll show noobies that posting their information will get them more engagement. I might add one in the future if it doesn't get better.

Just a thought.
It would be super cool to have a place to add all the flavors you have with manufactures from your inventory and seek what e-liquid can be made. The one I know about on another site dosen't work for me. At all.

RockyHarlow_Rusty_T

MixedUpJames There is more than one website that can do this for you. E-liquid-recipies.com or alltheflavors.com

RockyHarlow_Rusty_T

Wayne that sounds like a plan. Thank you for the response.
