    Exclamation Forum changes 12/02/12

    Morning Guys.

    Hopefully you will of noticed some changes to the way the forums and sections are named and laid out as of this morning, i'll give you a quick run down of the changes.


    Club and Website related discussion - Has been broken up and merged with Website/Forum comments, questions and ideas to form Club / Forum / Website comments, questions and ideas This forum has been moved to the 'The Forum' section which heads the forums. Its intended to be used in the same way where we can all discuss club/forum matters and leave notifications like this very thread where some discussion may be useful etc.

    ---

    Media Room Has been split up and deleted.

    Images has now become Punto Images and is what it is, for image/photo threads and topics regarding Puntos and/or Fiats whether they're your own or others or collective threads etc

    Video has now been moved to the new Non-Punto Chat section which also hosts Technobabble and other cars etc. This was because most threads aren't to do with Puntos.

    Audio Has also been moved to Non-Punto Chat and renamed Music.

    ---

    ---

    Punto Chat section now includes the following forums

    Punto Chat No changes, for non technical chat on Punto's

    Punto Images for image/photo threads and topics regarding Puntos and/or Fiats whether they're your own or others or collective threads etc

    Punto Videos A new forum, I have used all punto specific thread from the first 10 pages of the origional Videos forum to pouplate this new forum. Please post Punto/Fiat specific video threads here for all to see, whether they're your videos or ones you have found on the net.

    Punto Spotting No changes.

    Cleaning/Detailing No Changes.

    ---

    ---

    General Which is under the FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions section has been renamed General Punto Qustions because thats what its for and always was. Alot of 'general' non punto related threads were been posted there of which many have been moved to other forums. This forum is for General Punto Questions as per the title.

    ---

    ---

    Classifieds and Events Sections remain unchanged although Events could do with being made smaller as its not used much!??

    ---

    General section has been renamed Non-Punto Chat Under this section we now have the following....

    Other Picture Topics A new forum, which I have populated with (at the moment 50-odd of) the newest relevent image topics which aren't punto specific, this includes peoples other cars, funny picture threads, house renovations and other non punto projects.

    Please use this forum to post any future topics that are primarily of images or photos that aren't punto specific, including photography, holidays, pets and pictures of your non punto cars. Non punto car projects should go in Other Cars Discussion and Projects


    Other Cars has been renamed Other Cars Discussion and Projects The premiss is the same, but more aimed at collecting everyones non punto car projects into one section as apposed to some here and some there of which we have quite a few now.


    Videos Is still the same, moved here from the deleted Media Room. And is for videos that arn't puntos. Does the name need to be more descriptive?


    Music As above, moved and renamed from the old Media Room


    Technobabble is unchanged.


    Daily Chat is now Chit Chat to emphasise this is no longer a daily only chat but an overall off topic, talk about what you want to chat forum. Please post off topic video or image threads in the relevent forums though to give the forum a smooth spread of useage. Be nice if someone continued to post the daily thread every day still!


    Gentlemans Club is unchanged.

    In short threads should now be easier to place in the correct section, and in the future make it easier for people to browse for what the want.


    For Forum and Club related things they go in the 'Forum' section which is at the top of the home forum.

    If its a technical question, problem or to do with tuning then it goes in the FAQ section.

    An advert or similar, then it goes in Classifieds

    If its punto related chat, photos, videos and what not then it goes in one of the forums under Punto Chat.

    If its non of the above and isn't punto related then it goes in the Non-Punto Chat section


    If you are a club member then the club section at the moment is unchanged and still serves the same purpose.


    Any comments, critisims and suggestions welcome!

    Doesn't really affect me, I only go into new posts anyway

    Just an idea ... is it possible to generate a new daily chat thread every day like the birthday thread?

    Or would that lose some of the 'charm'...
