Suggestion for expanding the Linn Forum

Post by dol »

Today in Hifi Kabin we have:
  • LP12
  • Linn Digital
Suggest addiong one more category:
  • Linn Power Amps and Speakers
Suggest potential rename of "Linn Digital" to:
  • Linn Digital Frontends
or:
  • Linn Streamers and Pre Amps
This would make the Kabin even more inclusive to Linn owners and products.

Its something I will certainly consider for the future development of The HiFi Kabin. At the moment I am just taking things slowly and adding new forums as and when it makes sense to do so.

But for the moment there is always Other Equipment to encompass everything else

I think that's a good approach. Of course I'm tapping into my vast experience running fora, NOT! But I can see value in allowing things to develop organically. The needs will become apparent in time.

Another suggestion to add to the list for the (hopefully not too distant) future. I miss the opportunity to add a quick response icon to a post - a thumbs up :smt023 or a smiley :D or similar. Does the forum software offer this option?

I assume that you mean a "Thanks" or "Like" button.

I have tested the available extensions and as yet have not found one that I would be happy to use. They all have their problems and as such I will not be installing any.

Sorry about that

Thanks Kaptain - do keep your eye out for one though.

And whilst I am on... One of the 'nicest' features of the WAM site was that when you clicked on a thread title it took you to the latest unread post rather than just the first post. I know we can use the little red sheet of paper icon but I often forget this. I suspect it is an attribute of the forum software you are using rather than just a click option but I think it was really useful.

The reason for that behaviour is so that you have the option to go to the first post (click the topic title) or the first unread post of that topic (click the red icon)

I do like the red icon. I just go to Quick Links, New Posts, then red icon.
