It was not a critic.

I thought there was more,but I generally don't care much if the title of the topic and the talks are related,more if the discussion is interesting.

    Vanessa but I generally don't care much if the title of the topic and the talks are related,more if the discussion is interesting.

    exactly, i also find it much more interesting if the discussions are interesting, even if they do not fit the topic 😉

      Angelina exactly, i also find it much more interesting if the discussions are interesting, even if they do not fit the topic 😉

      Same for me.

      Yes... But....
      It is necessary a balance between the living discussion, that is good and expontaneous and the necessary order.
      This is a forum, not a chat of wassap, so we have to be conscious that tomorrow, will arrive new people that have to have a system to find things.
      If we do not use a method, the visitors, will be lost, and in so much chances they will not understand.

        That's why I try to keep topic's content matching to it's name.

          you're right, but we already have too many issues to really make it work

          but I have a suggestion that we create skin themes and put our themes in there

          Name of the main topics

          1. everything about the cb

          2. relationships and love

          3. education and behaviour of our parents

          4. other

            Angelina Name of the main topics

            everything about the cb

            relationships and love

            education and behaviour of our parents

            So, you suggest to split "General" by 3?

              Laura

              not necessarily, the topics can also have other names or be divided differently, but maybe a faster search for newcomers can be realized

                Angelina But it's there already. If you want to see all topics about "relationships and love" click on relationships tag. I try to assign more or less relevant tags

                  Laura

                  i personally don't use the tags to search anyway, but i read everything when i am here anyway 😉

                  it's just an idea, if it's better than the current system, i'm not sure

                    Ines

                    I agree.It is not too hard for us,but for a newcomer,it can be harder to find where to post.

                    Laura

                    And I think you do a great job at it;thank you for managing it.🙂

                    Laura

                    Maybe it should be emphasized for newcomers,like a popup or similar.Personally,I rarely used tags this way on boards(even if it is not a bad system),so I'm not sure everyone would think to use it.

                      Vanessa I thought tags are used almost everywhere these days and people understand how to use it

                        Laura

                        In the boards I read,there is often a main page,leading to different sub-forums,each one containing the topics related to it,without using tags.

                        So,newcomers may not be used to tags.

                        Anyway,here,there is all topics on the same page,which can be useful.With categories,there is a risk some people read only a couple of them,and so,not know nor answer the topics in other sub-forums.It is more easy to have a look at all the active subjects here.

                          Laura So you want these keywords in the titles or you want categories?

                          I don't care about the words, you can also call the upper themes 1, 2 and 3 (which makes no sense), I just want to divide it into upper themes

                          Vanessa

                          if you are a newbie i would advise you to introduce yourself first, then every newbie could perhaps open up a topic of their own where we could discuss it. but that would only be my suggestion if we stay with the current system

                          maybe we could introduce more information on the personal page of the user, so we know directly with whom we write 😉

                            Angelina I don't care about the words, you can also call the upper themes 1, 2 and 3 (which makes no sense), I just want to divide it into upper themes

                            I still don't understand. Do you want 3 major sticky (like introductions) topics?

                              Laura

                              we have a lot of themes, maybe these themes could be grouped into 3 to 5 main themes to make it easier for newcomers 😉

                                Could you list them out? I will merge
