Tay Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hey everybody, Just wanted to let you know that a minor shuffling of forums organization (as part of additional upcoming changes) has been completed. As I explained earlier this month and in the latest podcast, lots of little changes are on their way. All I ask is that you remember that the workflow guiding these changes is: make the change, watch it over a few days, re-evaluate, make a decision. If you don't like something, please feel free to post in the improvement board's request section (link). Every decision will stand for a few days and will then be reevaluated, so please take advantage of the improvements board to voice your thoughts, suggestions and complaints. More details about forums changes will be rolling out in the next 6 days. Tay nohman and Darklord Rooke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohman Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I think it's a logical change, especially having "other discussion" at the bottom since it falls outside the core of this community. I like it. Soradragoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heizei_koukousei Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Wow, I didnt even notice the difference until I read this... And I agree, I always thought the Improvement board deserved to be farther up the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Ah, just to clarify for people (got a PM from a confused soul): The tech support section was reorganized slightly. It's now called "Game Technical FAQs & Solutions" and it's (currently) on the index page under the Fuwanovel Community category. The tech support board as you know it (free to post, Q&A) is now called "Voluntary Tech Support" and it's been moved to be a sub-board inside the FAQ collection. Again, this is not the final product, but it's a sufficient bandaid for our current purposes The improvements board is now a sub-forum within this community hub.

Darklord Rooke Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It feels like the forums are a little more organised than before. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Meogii Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 More efficient this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddle Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Wait, perhaps I'm missing something, but The Project Requests Board is a subforum within a subforum? As it stands now, one cannot see it unless they go into its containing board first. I imagine that this might make its existence oblivious to a newcomer, unless they like to click around everywhere. I'm not quite taking the stance for this to be changed. I'd just like some confirmation on whether what I mentioned will indeed be the case, and I find that it may be worth discussing whether this is truly the most beneficial option.

Darklord Rooke Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Good eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohman Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I noticed that too, but didn't really give it any thought. I can see the case for making it more visible. Where it currently is, it does make sense from an organizational perspective. It is also likely that someone looking to request a project will be familiar with the layout of the forum and know it's there, but that's an assumption that won't be true in every case.

Lewycool Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thanks for confusing me for a second Tay Anywho It loooooks like a good layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havoc Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 just noticed it. Not this is my opinion and nothing else. I consider it a pretty nice improvement for the most part. Although personally i feel the general discussion topic should go to community and game technical to visual novel. But i still quite like the new layout, feels less cluttered.

shcboomer Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Makes sense to me overall. Took me a while to figure it out tbh. I kind of couldn't find the threads for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosakyun Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I didn't notice it at first, like some of the guys here. I guess being cooped up in my Contents tab isn't a good thing, no? I have no objections with the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowtsuku Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Since the tech support is changed to "Games", where can we post tech support about the site/forums. For example, I can't quote a message using the metro IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Tech support is being revamped. The IE is a known software defect. In vision should have a patch out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaguya Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Oh yeah, earlier today I moved some topics to the community hub. They're mostly there as placeholders- the topics that were moved don't reflect their final homes, and they may be moved again in a few days. It's just that this section has considerable spotlight, so I thought it would be a pity to leave a subforum empty for several days~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowtsuku Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 @Tay I see. Thanks for your fast response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Just FYI -- Want to say thanks for all the PMs about moving the game FAQs/tech support boards to the VN Talk category. Until the back-end migration is done, I'm probably going to hold off any further forums moves. Every time I do that the forums software has to do a lot of caching and processing, and I don't want to put further strain on the ole' girl. Also -- Yes, I realize the community hub is locked against starting new topics. This'll be changed soon, but I have to get a few things done, first.
