Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson   What I think needs to happen with the CBCS forums may sound like a major overhaul, but all criticism is meant constructively. My belief is that the more impressive and professional looking this site, the more folks will be drawn to using the service after checking it out. First off, it would be advantageous for CBCS to emulate the more useful aspects of the chat boards across the street while improving in areas that are perceived as weaknesses by their forum regulars (many of whom are also regulars on this forum). This may sound like sacrilege to some, but in competing for day to day attention of active chat board users familiarity and ease of use are paramount. At the outset, when arriving at this site there's no way to quickly direct users to new posts in their specific area of interest. While side links allow filtering, they just aren't intuitive enough. Browsers (the human variety) like quick access to unread posts in topics they're most interested in discussing. There should be a gateway to specific categories rather than a front page of intersecting posts that require ferreting out. There should be a full screen display for image posting rather than narrow column format. It's almost a prerequisite for posting book scans on line. Just sayin'. Another idea worth considering would be a website template that allows an option for user selected color formatting. The Steve Hoffman AV forums use such a template and it enhances the experience based on eye appeal. Also, the overlapping of page content with duplicated posts appearing on the last and next to last page is clunky. It would be very useful for these boards to have a workable polling system that allows forum users to express their opinions through voting on favorites. One of my goals has been to conduct collector polling here similar to what a group of us did on the other boards in conjunction with Heritage awhile back, the idea being to reach a larger market while defining where collector interests are focused. Ending on a positive note, I'd be remiss in not mentioning how enjoyable this forum is. This is a very friendly, open and inviting site with reasonable moderation and principled policies. Other collector sites could benefit from the professional attitude of CBCS. 'Nuff said. |

I for one think if CBCS make the forms more computer screen friendly traffic may go up. If I remember right they said at one point it's laid out this way to be phone and tablet friendly. I for one am a computer and monitor guy and this layout just really lacks for that. They should go to a high volume forum site and I won't say copy it but COPY IT.  |

| It's not what I call a forum, it's a fancy post board. A real forum has the ability to search and bookmark threads. It has the ability to see links to posts forum wide. In essence it's useful. This is a chat post board to satiate people until something real comes out. Which could be never. Heard us now? |

| I for one would not be opposed to CBCS hitting the reset button on the forum and starting with something different even if it meant signing up again and basically starting from scratch. Any knowledge that could be here is lost in the endless wall of new threads. | ||

| I appreciate the way that the boards are moderated. It remains calm here when other places are filled with conflict. I'll be sending in some books to be slabbed right after Christmas because of that. | ||

| Personally I prefer the smaller simpler format. So far the forum here seems to be lacking the know-it-all condecending types who's mission is to put others down as much as possible in order to make themselves feel better about life. Whatever you're doing, you're doing it right. |
