bod-mod portal/forum

OK, it says on the page to post comments or suggestions you would like to see in the global announcements... *so here goes:

I like the site in general, there is a lot of helpful information here, and being able to ask advice or get opinions from others who may be more experienced is definitely a good idea. *But I think the way it is organized is a little confusing... *there is a section for "Bod-Mod Portal", which seems to be mostly informational, and the forum, which (my understanding of it anyway) is mainly for asking questions. *Then on some of the pages there is a link that says "Personal Experiences Section"... *in all of them, (including the photo galleries) people can comment or ask questions. *This is cool, except that I am not sure I am seeing everything related to the topic that I am looking at. *Skipping from the forum to the portal, to the personal experiences, to the galleries, etc., *I am not sure if I missed something somewhere, or end up revisiting something I already saw... *I would like to see something more universal, either put it all together, without the different sections, or maybe cross-link posts in one area to the corresponding section of the other area so it is easier to see all the posts/articles related to that subject.

How feasible is this? (It seems to be a fairly extensive site, so I guess that could be a lot of work to re-organize.)

It would be a massive amount of work, honestly.

We have it sectioned off for the purpose of ease. For the most part, it's easier for people who just want to see pictures to click on the gallery area, and those who just want experiences to just click the experience area.

Wow it'd be so much work (that luckily I wouldn't have to do) that I got tired and worn out just reading that suggestion. :lol:

[iamblackbird]

Yeh. That would take MASSIVE amounts of time, and everything would not be as clean looking, nor as easy to find.

Well, I do see your point about people who want to see stories go to that section, and people who want to see photos go to the gallery, etc. *But my story about the navel piercing (replied to the "share your experiences" sticky) is under the forum section, not listed under the personal experiences. *And I can't even find/remember the section where some of my posts went (didn't see the little checkbox to monitor posts, so I gotta go hunting for them to see if there are any replies). *I guess there are disadvantages either way.

[iamblackbird]

In order to get it under the person experience sections, just upload the content to that part of the site. It's not too difficult, although cross-linking it would be.
