Forum descriptions gone

redfox

I just noticed that the forum descriptions have disappeared - well I noticed it particularly in the grabbit and shop but don't drop ones. You know where there used to be a brief description of what the forum was about on the main page - like "this forum is for shortlived deals and bargain" etc. There's no description on the actual Grabbit page either.

In Grabbit there are descriptions for what the Argos and Gone but was it any good sub forums are about but none for the main forum itself. This means that newcomers, or anyone else, without the guideline of what the forum is specifically about, are bound to post things in there that aren't really a Grabbit bargain or deal. There was one this morning which prompted me to look for the description only to find it had gone.

Are the descriptions going to come back? If not, I think the board guides are going to be kept really busy moving posts! :eek:

Yes redfox it would be nice to have them back, but it may be not enough space syndrome;)

But on the other side of things Divadee did post this on the 28/1/05 in the Grabbit board as a sticky for people to look at.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Pat. I know the sticky is there but it's not as obvious as having the description there in front of you at the top of the board like it was before.

I doubt most people read the stickies before they post anyway - a bit of the old 'I'm sure it doesn't apply to me' syndrome

Yes redfox, it would be nice to have the details on the front of the boards again, as I feel it is a big help to people who come on especially for the first time. When they look now, it must be WOW where do I start.:)

well if it is a space issue, it seems a bit odd that both the sub forums on Grabbit have descriptions but Grabbit itself doesn't

I not absolutely sure on this redfox, this is just my opinion.;)

Will wait and see if there are further comments on this from upstairs as they say.:)

Glad

I think some of the descriptions on the main page have had to make way for a subforum, probably an issue of space in the box on main page
