Re: A suggestion for improving this forum

Naomi, That would be fine should anyone have cared to reply to a deletion. The blog posting was existing for a time. I would not call that a hiccup. I'd call it a misinformed scan and a delete.

However, why should there be a re-posting of content when the moderator does not identify the issue with any blog yet simply deletes content? Should the blogger resort to guessing at what the moderator mistakenly thought was inappropriate content and re-post? Would it then possibly be the case a different moderator views the material and makes yet a different decision?

Wouldn't you think it would be much better to confer and state the objection along with a reasonable response time? That way the blogger has time to respond and at least there is a documentation trail for correction.

Certainly you are communicating well here but are you suggesting that usually your team will respond to a blog issue rather than arbitrarily delete? If so, then the situation experienced was an anomaly.

A suggestion for improving this forum

RyanC — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 11:31:35 GMT

It would be nice if this site used one of the more common discussion forum software packages.

So many things here don't work as expected. Those of us who use other discussion forums are used to certain conventions that just don't exist here.

Quick reply doesn't seem to post a reply on the discussion.

I replied to a blog thinking it was a "reply", it's actually a PM to the blog author.

There isn't an intuitive way to navigate by category. It might exist but it doesn't work like other discussion forums so it's not obvious.

I think there would be more participation if the unconventional navigation didn't make the site feel so clunky. I'd like to see a site like this thrive.

Vendors

JustAJanitor — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 23:18:12 GMT

Whoever is in charge of this site, please create a separate tab and ask or force all vendors selling something to post in that area only. This site is becoming salesman central instead of a discussion forum.

We both joined yesterday and thought that we were subscribing to a professional Facilities Trade on-line website .

Thank you,

How do I post my profile picture?

Jeff — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 22:53:43 GMT

I have just joined and am looking to post a profile picture and don't really see a clear description on how to do that in FAQ.

A welcome new members and base description on how to use the different features all in one location would be nice or did I just miss it.

Any help would be nice.
