The goal was to give you guys a forum that was modern, fast and super easy to use. I think we've accomplished that but I realize there are some features from...

Thanks for updating my avatar - awesome site so far, Intuitive - user friendly!

We need a classified section unless I missed it.

You didn't miss it. I'm working on getting that added. Exploring some options. Stay tuned!

Hmm maybe a regional section? Could be helpful for folks looking to find someone to play a round with or looking for general information specific to an area.

I like that idea. I feel like people would like to browse where others are more than specifically searching for someone play with.

Discussion must have between 1 and 1 primary tags.....couldn't post a question and I don't know what this means

Thanks for the feedback. I think that message means that you need to add at least 1 tag to any topic you start. Click on the "Choose Tags" button next to the title when you are starting a post.

And based on the Scalia thread you'll need a way to block posters who write completely unacceptable things. Ignoring users should be an option. Either that or create a P&R forum or simply ban those discussions altogether. I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't want to read that shit at a golf forum.

Good ideas. The P&R tag is an easy solution in the short term. But I like your other ideas too.

Any way of staying logged in? In other forums I seem to stay logged in, but when I leave here and come back I need to log in again.

Matbe you should add a handicap tracker, since it seems the one at FGI is about to die

jrock

jamez That one is a little tricky unless I could find a branded service out there. Probably just keep it to social related things here. 🙂

FauxAmish

Is there presently or are there plans for the ability to "Block" members? Perhaps is part of the planned PM package.

jrock

FauxAmish good question. You mean block from PMing or block so you can't see any of their posts?

I think the latter might make threads lose context.

I am thinking more on the lines of how the "block" worked previously on FGI.

Spartan

Is there a member listing anywhere?

ValueGolf

Need a PM function here 🙂

jrock

ValueGolf Yes we do. It's at the top of my list but I'm stuck until the open source software folks push a new version. 🙁

Golfster

I'm new here but long time from the old FGI site where I was more of a lurker. Avid golfer and participate in other forums more frequently when I can.
One minor thing I don't like here is the forum text color and size. I can't read it. it's too light. like a grey color. Plus maybe even too small. It makes it a struggle to read so I move on elsewhere. Just my 2 cents.

jrock

Golfster thanks for the feedback. Lemme see what I can do.
