I am wondering if it is just me that is fed up with having to trawl through 2-3 pages of topics on the 'Discussion' forum that are not really classed as 'serious horse talk' but are sometimes also not suitable for the 'Ask the panel' or 'Tea-time Chat'?
I thought that maybe Paula/Rui could provide a 'Photos' forum for people to post photos of their horses, cats, dogs, kids etc having fun? (Showing photos already have a place in 'Showing') and perhaps a 'Help wanted' forum for people needing urgent help with anything? (Feed & horse health related questions already have a place in 'Ask the Panel')
Or maybe we could ask for a new forum for what I would call the real serious discussions like the AHS problems, cruelty, Anglo/Part bred Stud Book problems, etc...?
Perhaps the answer is to put up a list so that people can see what topics should be posted where?
Anyone got any thoughts/ideas that I can perhaps go to Paula/Rui with?

i personally like it the way it is, if there are too many different topic forums you have to check each one to keep up to date, the way it is now you can nosey in on topics you may not normally look for but end up getting useful info from them or nice stories.  |

I don't search forum by forum - I log-in and click on "Search & Latest Topics", then "Active Topics" so I can choose to look in detail at any topic that catches my eye.

| I think a yard chat and a photo forum would be great... I have posted photos on here before, as they didn't fit in any of the other forums. |

Been on here all these years and never searched like that..... Will give it a go but I would have thought it will still show up active topics on the 'Discussion' forum that are really just general chit chat?
Saying that I do like the idea of a 'Yard Chat' forum, good idea Angelarab

I've never searched Active Topics either!! I didn't actually realise it exsisted!
I like AL as it is but understand what you are saying Angel. The problem though is that it then gets too big and there would end up too many pages to look through. I'm a member of another forum site (nothing to do with arabs!) and they have a rediculous amount of headings and pages. Half the time I only look at the General Topics, Horses for Sale and the section on Feeding. |

I see where you're coming from, but one of the reasons I love AL (apart from the obvious) is the fact that almost everything is in one place - same with the BD forum actually.... hardly ever look on anything else now as I haven't got the time or the inclination to trawl through pages and pages  |

I think a photos forum might be a nice idea!

Don't panic I promise I am not going to ask for AL to be changed, I too like it as it is but just hate having to trawl through all the general 'chit chat' that isn't serious horse talk on the discussion forum and wondered if anyone else felt the same
Perhaps best idea might be for all of us to try and put the right topic in the right place?
I still think that a photo forum and yard chit chat forum would be great though |

Quite happy with the way it is too, but I would like to see a PRIVATE area so that only members can read when signed in.
That way, if any rescue threads come up Jo Public can't read what is being organised etc etc
Just a thought...... |
