In order to make this forum a better to be for everyone, what changes would you guys like to see happen that will enhance your enjoyment of these pages. Sorry, but nobody can do anything about Russ and the strange smells he emits, nor can we get Tonyb to lay off the concrete, but we will do whatever we can to make this a more enjoyable hangout.
Let us know your thoughts and we will see if we can make it happen!

Is there any way to keep yourself logged in? Or at least to have the option of saving your userid/password when you visit?

Maybe a section for members to sell stuff.
Maybe a similar page layout like the old polk page.
Let people like skip from audiothesis to hang here.

Skip is welcome to hang here, as he was over at Polk. Skip himself chose to remove himself from Polk.
John, the layout kinda makes it a choir to look around. Seems very old and smells like the mothballs in your grandma's closet. lol I know there probably isn't much we can do about that, but any changes that can make things flow a bit better would be welcomed. Having a button to add pics, the mobile app also needs that, as well as the shoutbox.
Those used to the Polk forum come here and they have to endure a learning curve which may or may not keep them away. So basically anything we can do to come close to looking like the other forum, or even the previous version of that forum, would be great.

My bad, I forgot Skip did make that choice.
Yes yes, looking like the polk.

Here's the plan.... This site has served well as a landing point for us to gather if/when the Polk Forum comes to an end. What I see is another site being created that takes what was good about CP and elevating it a bit, while making some overdue changes to make it better for everyone. I do not know if the host site will be able to work for those changes, but I am beginning to look into it.
For now, I am just happy we have a life boat.

A "New Posts" or "Recent Discussions" tab would be helpful to me.

I guess you can’t edit a post? I somehow quoted the wrong post.

If you want to change the background image on your page to a lake setting, click on "Profile" and then scroll down and click on "Edit Profile". From there, click on "Settings" and scroll down to "Forum Theme"... I find the change makes things a bit easier to see. We do have a "for sale section under the "Classifieds" tab.

aww, what the heck? Here's the " bottom of the home page"

... and a screenshot of the home page a little higher up from the bottom. Subforms with new posts say "new" (as that legend indicates) but there's no "new messages" button that I can see. The two images under "legend" are not links, just pictures.

well, dang -- I did not see those! THank you! It IS too bad that they're kind of buried rather than at the tippy top or the bippy bottom of the page. It is also too bad that the color of the hyperlinks isn't more contrasty (in any of the themes, it appears?). In the default theme, they don't look much different than the regular text. And, Admin I am sorry if it sounds like I am complaining! I have no right to complain about the hard work others have done, pro bono, on "our" behalf! Thanks again to the folks who set this up originally, back when!

**edit**
Sooooooo I remember now that past me was pretty smart lol..... Like the OLD Club Polk, you dont instantly have access to Classifieds. You need to be a `semi-new` member to see that section. And your member status is based on posts. In our case I set that number at 50 posts. So once you've posted 50 times you should see it. Goal was to avoid drive-by's for gear. Not sure if this forum hides those threads from hifishark, etc, but hopeful it does... Also last I remember TonyB lived over here for a bit and is currently the #1 poster on this site......
