Rename this category?

Astrobricks

I’ve noticed recently a lot of general topics being started here that have nothing to do with discussing the operations of the forums. Would renaming this section help? Maybe something more specific, like “Forum Operation”?

Huw

You're right, it does seem to be the category chosen when not sure where to post!

I've renamed it per your suggestion.

Astrobricks

What? No Like for my suggestion? :)

There you go @astrobricks - I've given you a like too. But you're not going to get one for the slightly whiny post you made after :-P (joke!)

I just arrived here and I am finding some ambiguous/non-updated stuff in several places around the site. I can offer suggestions if they're welcome.

If your concerns are about how the forums work, then this is the place. If your concerns are about BrickSet itself, post in the BrickSet.com area, or The Database if it’s about problems with the set data.

Sounds good. Although the only place I see over there is to send a message directly to Huw who asked me to comment over here in the forums instead...lol. Also, my comment (above) was concerning the forum. I post the Brickset stuff in the category made for it.

I think you misunderstood me. There is a section of the forum called “Brickset.com”. Scroll down until you find it.

Gotcha! ;p

Most immediate conversation I’ve ever had on here :)

Yeah, almost like a chat channel...lol. :P

One minor concern that I do have is that there is no link when looking at the threads to jump right to the last conversation, but it does do that when you click the pop-up (if you're around to catch it). Conversely there are times when you want to start at the first page and you land at the end. Kinda hard to explain, but it's has not been my experience with other forums and will take a bit getting used to. No worries!

If you click on a thread, it will take you to the first unread comment in that thread. If there are no unread comments (i.e. you've already read them all), it will take you to the last comment.

At the top and bottom of each thread are page numbers, and you can easily get to the first or last page from there, should you want to :)

Yeah, I'm getting the feel for it now. ;P

Has anyone read the FAQ section recently? As a new member, I naturally went to read them. That is where I noticed some ambiguousness-ness... ;p
