Help me decide (forum question)

[Urchin]

Hello

I hate the forum being too cluttered so far a while Off Topic having so many subsections has kind of been irritating me

Now "relationships" has a new sub-section "Single parent support" it's even worse.

So, something could be moved out of off topic, to have a forum section under the adult area probably.

For example, should I move "Relationships (and the sub-section) to under the adult area? Or should it be health and beauty and the post pregnancy health section?

I will do a poll....any other suggestions welcome too.

So do you mean have a section underneath the "coffee break" bit for health and relationships? That would work, less clickys to do than having to navigate through the OT section.

 

[Urchin]

It would probably go, for example

-----------------
"Coffee Break"

Off-topic
Adult/Members only
Relationships

-------------------
shopping area.

-------------------


Also, while I'm asking, would people rather the relationships bit was only readable if you're logged in?

 

[sarafet]

possibly make the post preg health section it's own forum? i think more people would use it if it was more visable instead of being stuck in heath&beauty??

I like the idea of Relationships coming into the members area, as many people like to discuss things there that they wouldn't like to do in the open forum........

I would put the relationships into the adult section, as to be honest if I (and I think most others!) are posting a moaning relationship thread they put it in adult anyway, for fear of people reading it.....

.... but then on the other hand, if you do that non of the male/young/new members can post in there

 

[Urchin]

I can either make it so you have to be logged in, or I can make it a sub-section of the adult area, which would mean only people with access to there would be able to see posts.

If we make it a subsection of the members bit, I guess we could then bring the Health and Beauty out of off topic aswell, making that a new section, with the PPHealth a subsection of that.

Can anyone else follow this except me? LOL

I'm off out to pick pumpkins at the children's farm now, I'll catch up with this thread later

ooh if ur putting in adult/members area i'm gonna say put relationships in there. awhile ago when i was having probs i got worried my boyf might see my posts about him and got valentine to move them all over to members section! and iv seen a lot of posts in there ranting/worrying/etc about relationship issues coz the posters obviously feel its too personal for the public bit. so definately that

yep i like this idea

 

[claire_louise]

i kinda wondered why the single parenting bit cant go under the 'parenting' bit, under the older childrens area.

because although it is partly to do with relationships, its also a lot to do with bring up children by your self

if im talking rubbish feel free to tell me to zip it

Yeah thats what i think too

 

[CoreysMummy]

Relationship room in adult is what I voted for!

 

[leckershell]

I think a lot of the posts in Adult are about tricky relationship situations anyway, so you could either put all that to 'logged in only' and if theres relationship stuff in adult then move it to there, or put the whole lot in adult but then expect having off topic itself used by people who dont have adult access to talk relationships//

Hmm

I personally think Post pregnancy health should be in the Parenting section. I don't get why its where it is when its more things related to having had a baby than anything else. It gets lost being in a sub section of a sub section.

Any child related stuff should be in a sub forum in Parenting IMHO. So Single parent, post pregnancy health etc.... All there somewhere. Much easier to negotiate and read. I don't like having to skip around the forum to read post pregnancy stuff in Off Topic, when its actually so far on topic for me being child related. I don't see any point to it being in with Health and Beauty.

Relationships moving to Adult I don't see the need. If people want to post in the hidden Adult section about their relationship they can, if they want to post in the more general area then thats their choice. TBH I think people can make their own mind up about if they wish to post openly or behind closed doors about relationship matters.

Thats my thoughts.

post preg health in parenting
