Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 13, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hey guys, you may have noticed the forum as undergone some changes, please let me know your thoughts/further things you want me to do/implement. Support category is now the first category of the forum so it can be found easily by new members, I've streamlined this now to just include two things: Wiki, with links to the most important/frequently asked about issues, clicking on the issue will take you straight to the wiki page. General support, instead of having lots of different forums for support, any support will happen here. General forum now contains: Off topic/general - this is a merge of off topic and general, you can discuss anything here. Introductions Technobabble Sports New category for gaming includes: PC eSports Console Let me know if you want game specific in each of these or not. NETDUMA category contains any of the forums that relate to us specifically, they include: News and Announcements Feedback and Suggestions New games for the Geo-filter NETDUMA gameplay videos We have an International category now for other languages/countries, please let me know if you want any languages/countries added: NETDUMA Deutsch NETDUMA Español NETDUMA Français NETDUMA Countries Australia, United States, Canada I've also implemented a local time, so in every post just under your post amount it says what your local time is Other things to come: New emoticon pack Increase recent topics window from 5 posts to 10 More themes Forum badges Let me know your thoughts on all this, do you like it, dislike it? Any feedback or things you want changed/implemented just let me know P.s. no posts have been lost at all, they've been merged with another forum in all cases.

Trolling_Farm Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Looks more modern and up-to date. Thanks for the General Alright so I found a little thing that might help when reading Wiki Upgrade to latest firmware (1.03.4) Optimal settings guide Getting max speeds Getting an Open NAT How to set up your NETDUMA router FAQ You should space it out more, like two columns.

SweeperXII Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 NetDuma -News and Announcements should be at the top of forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 13, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted August 13, 2015 NetDuma -News and Announcements should be at the top of forum The reason its not at the top is so that new members who come to the forum can get support straight away, if its an issue for everyone I can change it to its own little category at the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Luke Posted August 13, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 13, 2015 Question for everyone - should the console be split out into four consoles, or should it just be one category? Say someone wanted to create a GTA V thread, I think it would be diluted if they had to pick between one of the four, would be better to just have one category, Amirite?

procreate Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I liked it before. I also think netduma stuff at top, off topic and rest down below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted August 13, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted August 13, 2015 I think this is much better And I agree with Luke about one category for console. You can just use the tags to tag it with PS4, XB1 or whatever if it is console specific but most games aren't. And I think support is better at the top because this forum, although it has lots of other topics, its purpose is a support forum for Netduma so that should be the priority imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a lot better in terms of support for us to have it like that. I could do a small category with News and announcements in there just above potentially.

fuzzy clam Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yeah the support needs to be the first thing they see,since that's the main purpose of the site.The other stuff is for fun and it's a lot easier for someone to find help with an issue if support is at the top.

procreate Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 i get the support at the top, i meant more like SUPPORT -- -- NETDUMA news announcements feedback and suggestions new games gameplay videos GAMING Console PC eSports GENERAL FORUMS introductions technobabble off topic sports??? <why? then INTERNATIONAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy clam Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Why not sports,lots of people follow and enjoy sports.I'm guessing the duma crew is really into soccer,at least most from the UK'ers are,it's like our football having a huge following. IMO a sports section is a good idea,just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procreate Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 well i just meant to have its own forum seems left field? seems like sports talk can just go in offtopic really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 13, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted August 13, 2015 well i just meant to have its own forum seems left field? seems like sports talk can just go in offtopic really. I see your point but the idea is to make this a place where everyone can chat about things they find interesting and get to know each other more. For example, I'm not much of a football fan but Luke is and so are others so they have their own little place to discuss it now. If you're going through the off topic forum and you see sports, makeup, politics etc as a long list different threads, you're going to get bored by the time you find a topic you actually want to comment on. So it would be easier if they were filtered out so you don't have to look at them at all. Hope that explains my reasoning If you have any topics you think should have their own forums I'm very happy to add them. Just a few off the top of my head that I've thought about adding: Graphic design (GFX) Tutorials etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trolling_Farm Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I liked it before. I also think netduma stuff at top, off topic and rest down below. Fraser I kind of agree with procreate, what it comes down to is people don't like change. They are use to something and usually want it to stay that way, the older generation tends to be that way Thats why I asked for the general topic to be at the top. But over all I like how cleaned up the forums are and it just shows how active the MOD's are on these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy clam Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Change is good,aside from the whole "new coke" thing,if nothing ever changed nothing would ever improve or evolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted August 17, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted August 17, 2015 In 'NETDUMA Countries' could there be a 'United Kingdom' section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Things Change is good,aside from the whole "new coke" thing,if nothing ever changed nothing would ever improve or evolve. Yeah things changing and evolving means more learning which expands your mind. On a different subject but still learning i suppose, I think playing twitch shooters make you think quicker on your feet in all walks of life.
