I"m contemplating moving the member blogs into the General Poker section (this section) to give them a little more publicity. 

They update at a rate of 2 or 3 per day I would say, so they won"t takeover the section, but there is some excellent content amongst their number and any member just utilising the General Discussion and Amateur Championship categories will currently be missing out.

What do you guys think?

Des.

Do you mean as "senior" child of General Discussion like

General Discussion:


  • General Poker & Non Poker Discussion

  • Member Blogs

  • Poker Strategy




I think that would work better than a child of General Poker like General Sports & Formula 1 if that"s what you had in mind.

No kids involved in this one.  I mean to have the blog threads sit within the core posts on General Discussion.  Hiding them away in a child category might well defeat the purpose of the move.  :)

Oh...then "No"...I wouldn"t like that. I think General Poker is overcluttered already.

If a member is only using 1 board, we need to encourage them to explore further not just lump everything into one place.

Is there actually anyone that doesn"t just click on "Show unread posts since last visit" and then just scroll through and view whatever interests them?

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

I would think so.  And for those who visit once or twice a week or less, being met with a couple of pages of unread posts can be off putting and they may choose to only browse General.

Too many boards on this forum so this has to be a good move. A lot of non regs on this forum always comment how difficult and daunting this forum is to navigate
