QUALITY POSTINGS

Just wanted to say what a great mix of postings we have received so far season-to-date.

We are now getting over 300 posts per day which will probably rise to nearer 500 by the end of the month.

Yes, we have had the same old questions that we get year in, year out, but when people are new to this site or Bulgaria they still need answers and we are happy to give them. (Even though we sometimes can be a little sarcastic Razz)

We have also only had to ban 2 posters so far this year from ...

We have also only had to ban 2 posters so far this year from posting any more due to obscene postings, and when you consider we get over 2000 a week, that again is testiment to the quality of people on this site.

Please keep them coming, no matter what you need to know, if it's about Bulgaria then someone on here is ready to help you.

re: QUALITY POSTINGS

One thing. Can you view only new posts. Because of the amount of new topics i have to go back about 4 pages to carry on posting on some topics. Can't keep up with new posts @ 300 per day let alone if it was 500.

re: QUALITY POSTINGS

I agree. If the site is recieving this amount of traffic then the format needs to become more user friendly. Some very useful information is getting 'lost in the archives'.

How do we put some pressure on the site admin to change the format???

Cheers for now

re: QUALITY POSTINGS

I think it is better if the topics with new replies go to the top... Becasue in this sytem some good topics go to the back pages and after 2 days they get lost, I mean you canot dare to find them... You find them, you reply them and no one reads...

and by this way you can be sure that same topics will not be opened every day... And people will be able to see what they want...

re: QUALITY POSTINGS

It all seems so much smoother on skidvd.co.uk. Some clever chappy over there seems to have addressed the problem with having to go back many pages to read posts.

re: QUALITY POSTINGS

re: QUALITY POSTINGS

I end up going back atleast 5 pages. Check them in morning 9am. Get back at 5pm and have to go back atleast 2 pages. Think, maybe not having the topics expanded. Just show the topic title, you could then fit condsiderably more topics on a single page. Not being an expert on forums/discussion boards, but i do use quite a few and others seem alot more user firendly. Maybe have a different area for each resort. Because a lot of people using the forums are just going to want information about ...

Because a lot of people using the forums are just going to want information about the resort there going to. Don't want to be the ONE complaining, because i appreciate keeping a forum running and moderated is very time consuming.
Good job to bulgariski team only been using couple of weeks but has been brilliant for information.
