Debt FW suggestion

I was wondering if you could put a subforum in DFW soley for the Diaries? it seems that the DFW board is clogged with everyone diaries so you miss the advice, chat, help etc threads!

Just an idea.

thanks

  • I think this would be a great idea, as a DFW myself since June last year, I now no longer really go on the DFW forum as it is just full of diaries and is difficult to locate helpful threads

    I also agree there needs to be a seperate space for diaries.

    Those who follow the diaries will have it in userCP anyway.

    IN the current climate there are loads of new people accessing DFW and I can see how they might think "should I be here" as usually the first and second page is filled with diaries.

    My personal view is that the diaries stay on DFW, but maybe there should be a sub-board for people that are having urgent problems with creditors/DCAs/whatever?
