Hi everyone,
I'm sure you've all noticed the new change in forum structure by now :) As you will notice, we have added subcategories to the main page and this should aid individuals in selecting the proper forum in which to place their threads. You will also noticed that some categories have moved, some new ones have been added and some have simply vanished into thin air.
We've changed the structure for several reasons with the main one being that the board was becoming way too cluttered and users were unsure as to where to post their threads. As a result, the moderators were working overtime moving threads around to the proper place.
We also had categories that were somewhat similar to other categories and it just made no sense in having two. In cases like this, we simply merged the two together. We also had categories that didn't seem all that popular and only had four or five posts in them. In this case, the category was axed and the threads were simply moved to another forum.
One of the new features we've added is the 'Online Stamp and Supply' (http://stamp-shack.com/forum/local_links.php?catid=25) directory. No longer will you have to search through countless posts trying to find a link to an online vendor. We now have them listed in alphabetical order! Please feel free to add to the list (without adding duplicates, please). Instructions are provided at the top of the category page. Psst...we also have plans to revamp the birthday list in this manner too.
I'd like to extend a HUGE thank you to all of the staff members for their opinions and ideas regarding the new forum structure! You guys rock!
If anyone has any issues, questions, or concerns please let us know.
Cheers!
Sherry
