[QUOTE="seankreynolds, post: 4918201, member: 3029"] I'm going to point Gary and Ross at this thread, but in the meantime I'll address some specific comments. Hmm, I see many posts on the Paizo boards that aren't linked to product entries. You do realize that you can start a new thread, just like any other message board, that isn't tied to a product, yes? Or am I misunderstanding you? Well, the Paizo site does have a search feature, I use it often. I can't find ENworld's search function, perhaps because I haven't renewed my supporter status when I drifted out of the industry a few years ago. Well, I'm not a tech guy, but I assume there's a reason Gary and Ross are doing it the way they are--perhaps something integral to our storefront software. But like I said, I'll point them this way so they can read these comments. I admit, we have a lot of topics, because we have a lot of product lines. Have you tried collapsing categories you're not interested in? For example, I'm not a Pathfinder Society GM, so I don't read their message board, and leave it collapsed so it just takes up 1 line on the page. As with the first person I replied to, I'm not seeing how the Paizo boards are a "blog commenting system." Yes, you can reply to the posted entries for the various books, but you can start unique threads, just like any other board. Again, unless I'm misunderstanding you. As for the sub-boards, they're divided by product line (Companion, Chronicles, Gamemastery, Modules, Adventure Paths, Pathfinder Society, etc.), just like you might have boards for Dark Sun, Eberron, and Forgotten Realms, or D&D, GURPS, and Traveler... I don't see the difficulty. Of course, I've been using those boards for a year and I admit there are a lot of topics and at first they can be overwhelming, but there's a logical structure to them, IMO. What sort of hotlinks do you want? Like, click a button, a pop-up appears for you to enter the URL of the image, click OK, and it drops the link in for you? You can put links in using the current setup, you just have to use the BBcode. I admit, being able to click-paste-click a link would be very handy. This response confuses me, because it looks to me that ENworld has a similar number of forums you can post in (about 30 or so). Perhaps it's just that you are familiar with ENworld, and perhaps saw it grow from something smaller, and thus know exactly where to find things? I look at the forums here and I'm often confused as to where I should post something because there are so many options. I'm not saying one is better than the other, I think in terms of complexity they're pretty similar. [/QUOTE]
