Anyone have quick suggestions for content that should be on FAQ pages about Tacomas? Or links to very helpful posts on the forums? Or anything of this nature?
Where would this page be? Would it be it's own separate info page or a forum?
Would you consider a forum restructure? I've been noticing some changes and the implementation of prefixes. Some forums requiring a prefix, but sometimes not having a fitting prefix for a topic. Is there a way to make it optional? Possibly allow 2 prefixes to be selected?
I feel regrouping would make the site easier to navigate and better organized for information. As it sits, I think parts of some forums are a little cluttered and there isn't a place for some things to go. Also with targeted feedback. Might get people who are more knowledgeable in specific areas prefer to hang in that section of the forum.
I attached a layout at the bottom. It looks like a lot has been added but the open circle bullets are just prefix identifiers. I think this pretty much has everything covered.
Reasoning for updates:
Modifications - May be too broad. I feel a lot of users when looking into things target specific and similar areas at once. Some users may just prefer modding certain areas and have no interest in others. The nice thing is all new posts would show on the front page as new posts or recent posts. So they would still maintain exposure to parts of the forum they wouldn't generally see.
Marketplace - I could clump For Sale and Wanted together. Then introduce WTS/WTB prefixes. A lot of times people search For Sale and overlook WTB. People who are selling something might only come across a WTB post of their item if they search for it. Putting them in one place keeps it around so when someone browses, they'll think, hey! I have that. I think this would improve engagement on the Marketplace side of the site.
Regional - I'd group them into larger regions. Less is more here since some people enjoy the travel part. Having more regions spreads activity too thin. With larger regions, people can go to their's and consider going to another event from seeing it. Broken down into more regions, they would miss it.
