Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I was wondering. I'm not a huge fan of . The format is a bit hard to follow if you log in, and getting tons of emails constantly is a tad overwhelming, and I can't really effectively sort through all the information effectively. It's become more of a chore to go through the 15+ emails a day that I'm receiving. And I'm someone who usually gets rather excited about pouring over information. =) Is it possible we could set up a nice bulletin board style forum? I've been testing out some formats for the company I work for on http://www.forums-free.com/en/ It seems to be pretty stable and easy to set up. I wouldn't mind spending a little time setting them up myself and either handing the reigns over to someone else... or setting up moderators to help run it for me. I can't promise that I'd have the time to administrate the site myself, but I think it would be a lot easier to navigate and a little less overwhelming for the type of traffic it seems we're getting. Maybe over time when this seems to be successful, someone can actually install forums on the actual website... Which opens up a lot more options for revenue, search engine optimization, and page ranking for the Natural Solutions Foundation. If you're interested, feel free to voice your approval. I'll probably put some time into it when I get home anyway since it's so easy to create, just to see if everyone likes it. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Matt, if you prefer this you can just go to and set your preference to Webmail only for this group. Then you can go to the site any time you like and read the mail on threads that interest you, without leaving the group.Peace,Kathy E.On Jul 24, 2008, at 12:44 PM, OFTHEBORG wrote:I was wondering.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm not a big fan of the either. I think a forum would be easier, more astetically pleasing, and would offer up so much more oportunity for discussions and postings. I belong to 2 other " mommy " forums for my area, and I love them. They are so easy to navigate. JMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I know how to navigate , but the format is pretty archaic and it's harder to find what you're looking for. I'm not planning on leaving this group, but I'd like whoever is in charge of this group to consider the option. I'm also not interested in usurping what they've done here either. I'll work on it and show them what I've put together. I'll probably need some input as to what the main forums and topics should be. And perhaps some help creating a faq and forum guidelines/rules. But this is only an idea at the moment. Thanks for the feedback.
