It's going smoothly Rik, I think, because the Forum is just about right as it is
Nothing I can think of would improve it, it is what it is and it works fine, I wouldn't mess with it.
Some forums have that 'Chat-Bar' thing, I've never felt the need to use one myself, but they seem to be popular.
As for the events/socials/rallies/runs notifications/listings, there's already a section on here for those.
Maybe a Calendar style layout would be an idea, if it's do-able.
You'd open up the events section and there'd be a calendar graphic, like a wall-planner chart, month to a view type thing, if you get me?
Events would show as a high-lighted box on the date in question, which when clicked on would open up a box/window/tab with all the details on.
Maybe it could have an option to add your name if you were attending?
Just a thought . . .
What do you want the forum to become...

Appreciate all your positive comments....but there honestly is something amiss, or why would members be flocking to other trike sites ???
Too dry, too dusty, too full of just trike stuff....not enough boing boing boing yeeeeehaaaaaaaaa laughing/joking/piss taking....
Just thinking out loud here....if the forum was full of joking and piss taking, wouldn't that put off the members who want to do the more serious stuff, like building/repairing/gaining knowledge on all things trike.
Then on the other hand, if the place was purely dry facts oriented, that'd put off the ones who want to have the craic and piss about.
The forum can't be all things to all members. What we do do, is try to find some sort of middle ground were we can please most of the members, most of the time....There in lies the conundrum.
Keeping this open for as long as it takes, so if you have any thoughts, please keep firing them this way.
Ta....Rik.
