New Forums

[Sleeper]

Well, someone is bound to start a discussion about the new forums - so it might as well be me.

Definitely an improvement. I realize that it is going to take some time getting things reorganized.

I really like the "Sewer" forum.

Subfolders would be nice for "Development" and "Support".

Support
--Newbie Tivo
--Series 1
--Series 2

Development
--General Tivo Development
--Series 1 Development
--Series 2 Development

Could you move "General Tivo Development" above "Series 1 Development" rather than 2 below?

Vadim,

How about adding the linux forum we discussed in another thread? It would really cut down on the clutter inside tivo hacking forums.

I don't think we are considering additional forums, or forum moves at this time. Of course, this decision is up to Vadim, though we are satisfied with it as it currently stands.

There is no need for a linux forum. There are plenty linux forums out there, and everyone is free to go find one.

Let's not start another one, and yet another place to confuse the masses. We intend to scale BACK the foum choices to make it more coherent and more manageable, not increase them.

I forgot about the masses. Just thought it would be a good place for support for things like cross compilers, kernel and module compiling and other oddball things.

Dear sir,

The General Tivo Development Forum (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=53) would be an appropriate place to discuss compilation.

Since you have pointed out to me the closest forum available on this message board. I will post all my cross compilation errors inside the development forum, regardless if I have written a single line of code. Thanks for the suggestion.

If you do, they will be deleted.

It might be best to take advise from seasoned tivo veterans, or moderators, and not newbie posters.

Since they want to scale back the number of forums (even though they just about doubled over the weekend) perhaps we should post either an FAQ or a sticky thread somewhere with links to "everything you wanted to know about linux but were afraid to ask"....

Does vbulletin support sub-folders/sub-threads?

It would be really nice if in the "Files" forum that there was less to see at first glance. The list has already grown and soon willbe very long and disorganized. So "TivoWeb" for example, would have its own sub-folder including TivoWebPlus and all the modules.

Any chance?

Could be done, but be impossible to support and maintain clean content. That's my opinion and not a fact, let's see for other mods think about it.

With all due respect, there is much great content on this board. Where it is lacking is in its organization. I fully understand the burden that continually organizing things places on the administrative team. I feel compelled to point out though that many have volunteered to assist in helping do the organizing. Also, you have to give some of us credit. For example, if there was a TivoWeb Files sub-folder, I would be inclined to post a new TivoWeb module file there, as would many others.

I did not say no, I'm just waiting what other have to say about this.

It looks like there are a fair number of links in the wiki page you started, but unfortunately not a lot of people are pitching in to help, as the last update was on 2/20. The project might gain more exposure if a few prolific posters put the link in their signatures.

The forum software is very good at highlighting new postings, isolating concurrent discussions, and indexing by keyword, but it is not very good at organizing the information that is already in existence (beyond the relatively flat "stickies" and other important posts which need to be maintained by a single user). It is critical to use the right tool for the job here, because trying to shoehorn the wrong tool into an inappropriate role creates headaches for the moderators, and ultimately makes it harder to find what you're looking for.

Are there any plans to open the UTV forum for us to use ?

When you are right, your are right! Sorry about that, missed it somehow.
