I would like to let everyone know that the owners of GliderCENTRAL and the admins have been listening to the suggestions that have been made from the membership and staff. The suggestion about an emergency forum has been discussed and the decision has been made to put one up. This will be an emergency only forum, and after the emergency has been resolved the post will then be moved to the appropriate forum. The second change is we will be trying out the organization of forums with the usage of subforums. This will allow us to break things down by categories within a forum such as Housing. The subforum would consist of topics cages, water & feeding dishes, etc. In these subforums will be past posts that have been made on these topics, we are hoping that it will be a lot easier for new members and older members to search and find things when they are broken down like this. We will give it a trial run in one forum for now and see how it works out. The third change has been a rule amendment to rules 11 & 17. These changes have been made because we no longer have the classified forums on the board. Rule 11 now reads: 11. Ads can be posted in the ClassifiedCENTRAL site only and must be glider related. Ads can be posted by the seller or buyer only. No third party ads. No xBay ( links to outside auction and classified sites) allowed except in the links section . Advertising is not allowed on the forums. Store information may be posted in Glider Talk and Traveling but is limited to major store changes such as opening a new store, carrying a whole new line of products such as cages, diet supplements, or other major changes. Post that won't be allowed are minor changes such as new materials, new styles, new sets, product updates, and that kind of thing. Rule 17 now reads: 17. Pictures are allowed, sparingly, when it adds to the post's understanding. For showing off gliders, please use the GliderGALLERY. All pictures in the text section of the post must be no greater than 250x250 pixels. All images must comply with rule 4. The last change that will be made now is the return of Teen Talk and People Talk under different names. Teen talk has been rename to Teen Café and people talk is now named GC Community Hall. There will be details as a sticky in Teen Café on how to register to post in that forum. The three new forums will be up and running shortly after everything is all setup. The experimental subforum will be done in Housing & Accessories and should be finished and running sometime this weekend.

Thank you all for your kind words. But we can not take credit for the suggestions for the Emergency Forum. That idea came from a member angelskates, post can be found here So, maybe a special forum, near the top of the page, near Colony Alert. It could be titled EMERGENCY HELP, or something similar. Maybe it could be linked off the portal page with a small explanation, like, if you need immediate help with your suggie, explain here and someone will answer your post BLAH BLah blah. Anyone who needed help could post there and the thread could be renamed and moved to the appropriate forum when help had been given. It would make it easier for folks to find those who need help and the topics saying help and emergency would not keep coming up for days after the situation had been handled. Maybe it would help people put better subjects on their posts. and also to Suz and the rest of the mods for expressing to us further how helpful it would be. The subforum idea has been an idea for us since we found out about the upgrade. I started playing with the software at the developers site back in April and thought subforums would be a good idea. We have only had one subforum visible since we did the upgrade and now that things are settling down we thought we would give it a trial run in one forum to see how the members like it. I just wanted to give thanks and credit to angelskates for the suggestion and to let everyone know we do listen and contemplate ideas brought to us. Although some can not be done or may not be practical we do try and see what can be done for the rest.

We have started on the trial period of the subforums. They are not complete yet but we got a good jump on it. The subforum is in Housing & Accessories and is called Housing 101. You will see it under the moderators name next to the light bulb. You can also access this by clicking on the Housing forum itself. In there you will see topics broken down concerning Housing & Accessories and some have old posts that have been made on that topic. We are not finished with this yet and it is in a work in progress. We are hoping that this will make it easier for newer and older members to be able to search by the category instead of through the entire forum for answers to questions they may have. Not all the names and descriptions are finished or set in stone yet. As I stated this is a trial run with this one forum, there is a lot of work involved in doing this and we would like to hear your feedback on this. If we get enough positive feedback and we decide to go ahead with this, the same thing would happen in other forums as well.
