Hey everyone,

 

I was pondering the idea to condense the forum index by having the D/N/F/X Series units broken as subcategories like the Z Category is now.

 

For example, how it is now:

 

General D

Problems D

Hacks D

 

After:

 

D Series

|- General

|- Problems

|- Hacks

 

Screenshots if you have no idea what I'm talking about:

How they are now:

How they can be:

 

Comments? Suggestions?

I like the idea.

Looks great to me.

Cool, I went ahead and made the change on my development version.

Let me know what you think:

Looks great! One question:

 

Can you add subcategories to let say Hacks/Mods?

 

Would be nice to have:

 

F Series ----

--General

--Troubleshooting

--Hacks/Mod

----joe mods

----john mods

That is an awesome idea. Especially sense I just switched to an X910BT and am looking for all of the mods that have come out over the last several months.

Posted Mar 04, 2010 · 05:49 UTC#7

Yeah, I could do subcategories for hack/mods, or any forum for that matter.

 

What would you guys like?

Looks really clean. I like it. BTW...great forum Jason! Been on non-stop for a few days now (since I became a proud AVIC owner) and can't get enough. Any chance you could help me on my first post?

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Since it was unanimous, I went ahead and made the change. Any feedback?

Posted Mar 04, 2010 · 23:04 UTC#10

Maybe separate the X920BT from the current X series as you did with the previous Z series vs. the current. Other then that, everything looks great.

Posted Mar 05, 2010 · 04:10 UTC#11

awesome work.

 

me likey :D

Can you seperate the old and new Z series? It's now 2 clicks to see if there are new posts in each of the sub catagories... Thanks!

When accessing a page the sort order is all messed up. Some new posts are listed at the top of the page and others post towards the center of the page.

 

Also the FAQ is no longer at the top of the page, it's working its way down.

I'm not sure what you mean, can you provide a link where this is happening?

F series - hacks forum. Notice the date and time of the last one on the list and FAQ is about 2/3rds down. I tried re-doing my preferences to no avail.

Um, why are there 20 stickies? That's a bit excessive...

Other then that, it looks like it's working correctly.

I made the FAQ an announcement. I'm going to have to talk with the mods about how we can clean up/condense all those stickies.

I don't know why. Prior to the re-org everything was in order. I never messed with stickies before. Let me try to un-stick them to see if it helps. I'm running firefox if it matters any. It's late now for me. I play with it during the week.

 

Thanks!

I stickied them because I got tired of people asking the same questions over again.

I hate this too.

 

Therefore, I move to sticky this whole website.

 

Stupid noobs. :evil:

Posted Mar 08, 2010 · 04:10 UTC#21

Yeah, I don't check the F Series very often anymore...

 

I noticed most of the stickies were mods, so I created a "completed mods" category to help clean it up.

Posted Mar 08, 2010 · 04:11 UTC#22

I will be more selective in the future.

Posted Mar 08, 2010 · 04:17 UTC#23

No worries, I was more surprised then anything, haha.

Hopefully between the theme and mod categories it will take care of most of the "stickyable" topics.

No, actually seperate them into completely seperate groups. They are 100% different units:

Z/1/2/3

General Problems/Troubleshooting Hacks/Mods

 

Z110BT

General Problems/Troubleshooting Hacks/Mods

Posted Mar 16, 2010 · 15:36 UTC#25

Same thing with the currant X and the future X. The X920BT has the same navi software as the Z110BT.
