Pros & cons for both ways of doing it I guess.

octatonic · August 2013

Can we have a drum section s and can I be the moderator for it please?

TTony · August 2013

A Drums sub-section within Gear?

ddlooping · August 2013

If we're going to cover more than guitars how about keyboards too?

TTony · August 2013

I'm just concerned about whether there's the demand for more sections - yet.

It's a bit chicken & egg perhaps - if we create the sections then drummerists and keyboarderers might drop in - but unless there's some obvious content or direction within the section, they're likely to just drop out again.

OK, solution - no more section proposals unless the proposer is willing to come up with some editorial content to get it going? It's still not a definite "yes" (it would have to go by The Committee), but it would at least mean that such suggestions were properly considered as opposed to a "we must have everything!" situation.

And (ideally) for the proposer to have some virtual mates to bring along to any new section that we create on theFB, perhaps from another forum that they currently inhabit?

As this is "the fretboard" and thus has already staked it's claim as a guitar biased forum, the traffic for specific instruments outside of this is likely to be guitarists with other interests, so maybe an "other instruments" section would catch all.

That could be the way to go.

Aye - I was thinking more in terms of the suggestions which keep cropping up.

The sensible approach in terms of non-fretboarded-instruments would be to have the "Other Instruments" category, and then split it in the event that a particular instrument becomes over-represented in there.

Still leaves the drummers with nowhere to go though ??

good logic there

and then as digitalscream said, if it happens to get busier, then you could split it later into individual instrument sections.

I have had a drummer mate look at the site and complain, but I think most drummers are on Mike Dolbear and are unlikely to come on here when nearly everyone is a guitarist.

The Drum section etc on MR was pretty much dead, so I didn't see the point of replicating it as ghost town boards make the place look bad.

Send em over to me.

Also a good point. The last thing you want on a new forum is for it to look like it's going to peter out.

PolarityMan · August 2013

I like drums.

equalsql · August 2013

Any chance of having two sub-forums under Making and Modelling, one for pedal builders and another for amp builders?

If they get busy enough we will split them.

I've got a weirdly formatted quote here: http://thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/comment/10164/#Comment_10164

I deleted some of ICBM's post and bolded another bit and now it won't next in a grey box as it should. Code looks correct in the Source view.

You're missing <blockquote class="Quote"> before <span style="font-style: normal;"> and </blockquote> after "(And I'm well aware that many of my "must have" things wouldn't either.)".

Some stuff like soundcloud, youtube links and @mentions dont seem to work if you add them via editing a post......either that or I dont understand how to use them which is also possible @PolarityMan

Weird..Im sure that worked automatically for me before on the guitar collective thread.

The link itself leads to a "Sorry! We can't find that sound." page.

PolarityMan · August 2013

ahh its a private sound....lol one mystery solved.

OK, my keyboard problem...

I can count a whole second between hitting the key, and it appearing on the screen, sometimes more.

If I quote someone else in a comment, it gets slower.

Only happens on this site, but in both IE and Firefox.

I have a pc with limited memory, but nothing else is this s-l-o-w...

Have you tried switching it off, and switching it back on again ???

blindlemonade · August 2013

Oh yes...

Actually, tell a lie, it is quicker in Firefox!

Even if I quote somebody. Aha!

The answer is, buy a bigger PC...

Arse.

It's probably the shit Javascript performance in IE.

Try Chrome.

Howdy, Stranger!
