David,
First off thanks so much to you and the "core group" of others that are always on here and willing to give their time and knowledge to help people.
I don't know if you can do it or not, but the same "newby" topic questions come up all the time from people that haven't explored the web site, and are excited about their new Rpod and haven't surfed the this forum much.
About: How do I fill and work the water system, how do I winterize, and always lots of questions about the water heater and how to operate the fridge.
All this info is in there somewhere, but if you could make a specific "newby owner button" that someone could click on for those most common questions, and the topics you have also listed, it would probably save redundancy and much time for you folks.
I'm all for a time limit with no activity to clean up the site and focus on current more relevant info. And the fun stuff like techno's photo updates.
Forest River owes you guys.
I hope to see You out here.]]> Wed, 07 Dec 2016 19:45:52 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7678&PID=85702#85702 Forum Wish List : Change is something a lot of us... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7678&PID=85568#85568 Author: jato

I'd love to have a "Like" and "lol" function.   I'm so used to seeing it on Facebook, I keep looking for it.  I wonder about a place for people like me who haven't actually bought one yet, where we can ask questions.  

I'd also like to see newest comments to the original post, first.   I finally realized I have to go to the last page to see the most recent additions.

Just a thought, if you were to change anything would it be possible to have the posts in decending order (newer first and so on) ? 

I only ask this because as the pods change over the years and newer memebers are joining it might be easier and faster to find the answers their looking for. 

Thanks

As a moderator for a very large RC helicopter forum (227,802 members at present), I can tell you that, as you make the forum areas more granular, the moderator's job of keeping the threads sorted into the right subforums can take up a lot of time and you can end up alienating people.

Thank you for the inspirational words.

This place really is all about you folks. Without all of you logging in, reading and posting, it could not and would not exist. YOU make it the "go to" place for help, advise and good fellowship.

IF there is a tweek or two that would help y'all to keep doing what you're doing, it's worth looking into.]]> Sat, 02 Apr 2016 17:20:34 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7678&PID=72512#72512 Forum Wish List : Originally posted by Retroactive If... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7678&PID=72511#72511 Author: Guests

Well, if I get stuck doing it

I mean, if I am blessed with the opportunity.....

Most likely - would leave all of the existing post in the newly named "Maintenance" and create additional forums of "Mods & Improvements" and "Repairs & Problems". GOING FORWARD, we could start posting in the appropriate forums. Nothing would be lost and everything could still be "searched", as it is now. We would be taking one broad topic and making 3 slightly more specific topics.

The only way I know to sort the old posts would be to look at all 26,000 post and move them - one at a time. Not appealing. ]]> Sat, 02 Apr 2016 17:06:15 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7678&PID=72511#72511 Forum Wish List : If one has the will of "Sherlock"... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7678&PID=72499#72499 Author: jato

Thanks for the comments JandL, The Bum and Leo B.

Thanks to you folks, the forum is successful and growing, as it is.

The concepts of "work" and "productivity" are two that I have always struggled with. I find them rather abstract, confusing and "open to interpretation".   

In this world there are:
Leaders
Followers
People like me who, don't seem to do either very well.

The smart, dedicated members of the forum deserve no less than the very best, for such an important task - a person of intellect and vision. My "strengths" lie in thoughtful observations of these types of persons. While flattered in your nomination, I humbly admit that the task exceeds my capabilities.

TheBum - part of our backstory is that the owner of the forum provides it free to us, which includes the forum software (Web Wiz).  It has been upgraded a few times but it is up to him when it will happen again, and up to the maker of the software for features.

This is a little off topic, but I'd like to see the forum be optimized for mobile devices.

Under some topics that come up often you add "tires". That would be the 4 most topics everyone has a different option on. I like the idea of breaking out the Mods and Improvements. Before I got my trailer many years ago I read thru everyone. Now it is up to 2648 Topics and 26238 Posts and things get buried and hard to find]]> Fri, 01 Apr 2016 18:37:38 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7678&PID=72461#72461 Forum Wish List : In looking at the forum "traffic"... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7678&PID=72458#72458 Author: Guests

In looking at the forum "traffic" some thoughts come to my mind.
Some of the forums are heavily used, while others, very lightly. The Mods& Maintenance forum is the most popular, with over 26,000 posts. Sometimes, your new post will stay on the homepage for a nano-second, before being "bumped". Thanks to you great folks, the membership just keeps increasing....a very good thing, indeed.

At the other end of the spectrum, "Camping with Kids" has had only 34 posts since 2009. This, and maybe a few others, would probably not be terribly missed, if deleted. Posts of these natures could be "absorbed" into other forums.

Forums like Mods & Maintenance could be split into individual forums, something like:

Mods & Improvements
Maintenance
Problems & Repairs

Also, there are some topics that come up often, which might deserve there own forums, like:

Batteries and Power issues
Hitching and towing issues
Tow Vehicles

So, what do you think?

IMHO, if you WOULD like changes, keep in mind that we are heading into the "busy season" and Admins are out there with us. It may be several months before anything could be done, if desired.
Thanks!]]> Fri, 01 Apr 2016 18:08:07 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7678&PID=72458#72458
