    Hi, I see the airsoft and paintball forums have been split, but are in a joint forum with a drop down menu.

    sports/airsoftandpaintball/airsoft and sports/airsoftandpaintball/paintball

    Does it not make more sense to have it sports/airsoft and sports/paintball?

    I apologise if this is actually in the works.

    +1 On this,

    Would make the layout less messy

    And that's only because Motosam promised not to shoot me if I backed him up.

    Why further clutter an already over cluttered menu?

    They are grand where they are!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,758 ✭✭✭Stercus Accidit


    I would argue that the list in sports is already long enough to need to be scrolled down, so one extra entry will have little difference.

    Getting into airsoft is now just a little bit more annoying.

    I warn you mod, I have learned how to bypass the swear filter, and will use foul language unabated if necessary to deadly effect.

    i would argue that airsoft is one of the busiest sports forums and considering there uis an equestrian and an horse racing forum a rugby and a rugby league that between them get half the posts and that these have far smaller differences that airsoft and paintball that cluttering is that least issue here

    Alternatively, you could all just bookmark/subscribe to the airsoft forum if you're a regular visitor. That way you can access it from the 'Subbed' dropdown list and it'll even update itself to signifiy new posts have been made. Mind you, given the volume of traffic the airsoft forum(s) receive, new posts are a given.

    Cluttered Menu?

    I feel like I am missing something in this thread.

    To get to Airsoft: Sports -> Airsoft & Paintball -> Airsoft.
    To get to Paintball: Sports -> Airsoft & Paintball -> Paintball.

    What are you suggesting be changed?

    Thanks.

    Edit: fixed copy/paste

    From that above to this:

    To get to Airsoft: Sports -> Airsoft.
    To get to Paintball: Sports -> Paintball

    I believe they want Airsoft and Paintball seperated completely, rather then a airsoft/paintball subsection.

    You crazy airsoft people, subscribe as explained above

    Exactly.

    I did not expect this to become as drawn out as it is, it is simply logical to have sports/airsoft and sports/paintball.

    The forum is very popular, and as such I feel is well deserved of its place among the sports. It is possible to subscribe to the forum yes, but this is true of all fora, why bother listing things out at all then?

    I'm sure an admin would agree it would tidy things up, and would outweigh any minor negative (if one exists) with the positive effect of everything being where it makes sense to be.

    In fairness, it was a minor suggestion that I doubt has any reason to be refused, they are two different sports after all.

    Thanks.

    Mock me not mod, or I will copy/paste all the scumbag/pyjama/immigrant threads from AH into one condensed super flame, and pm you forthwith.

    Such nonsense, I'm sure few could survive, I myself will barely recover from collecting such material.

    We've no problem reorganising it as long as it's logical, "popularity" doesn't really come into it, some of the most populous forums on boards.ie are one or two subs deep.

    The subbed menu should serve your needs in the short term, but I'll be looking into reorganizing the sports category a bit over the next while.

    Cheers.

    I knew it'd take people a while to get to grips with the new button thingy.

    Can we not just dump the Frisbee section , combine Rugby and Rugby League
    and then combine Equestrian and Horse racing and the layout wont have to change to accommodate the Airsoft and Paintball split.


  • Subscribers Posts: 9,716 ✭✭✭CuLT


    I'll deal with this in due course, thanks.
