Shop Forum Rearrangement

[Nicolas King]

Hello,

For the past while on HNZ, all shop subforums have been listed in one forum and create a long list of subforums before the actual roleplaying area. This causes a lot of disorganization and scrolling. In addition to this, the long list of subforums forced an additional code to be added to the board index page which slows page load times slightly. You can see this system at work in Obsidian Harbour (click).

A suggestion has been made to place all shops and restaurants in one "Shops" subforum. Allowing all shopping to be in one key area, other non-shop forums to receive equal attention, and allow for less scrolling to the topics in Obsidian and Brightstone. This also affords the removal of a code which causes the jerky page loads on the board index. You can see this suggested system at work in Brightstone Village (click). The bad side of this system is that it might take and extra click to see all the shops, their latests posts, etc. (However, they are all listed in the Subforums: list for the "Shops" forum.

With both systems exampled for you - please vote and/or comment for which system you prefer.

Thank you,

~Nick

I think we can all handle one or two extra clicks for the sake of organization. With the subforums bug fixed, I don't see any legitimate reason why shops can't be put in their own forum.

Just a thought- perhaps restaurants could have their own subforum? They're different than shops.

It's possible.
Not sure there are enough to warrant it, though. Birghtstone and Obsidian have what? Two or three each?
Perhaps the subforum should just be named "Shops & Restaurants" or something.

That could work.

What about places like The Leaky Cauldron and the Hog's Head? They also provide lodging. Would they just fall into this same subforum?

Yes.

I believe that the new way for the Shops system would suite better for everyone. Though there is an extra click to be done, it only takes less than a second to do an additional click and I don't think the world would end if we were to do an extra click.

You never know.

The world would end if I do an extra click and vote.

The more I think about it, the more I like it.

Oh please.. The world might come to an end with my reign.

I would encourage the person, or persons, who voted "No, keep things how they were." to explain why they voted that way, if they feel comfortable.
(You may have thought of some negative reasoning that I missed, and change my own opinion. )

I put I didn't care

I havn't found it any easier or harder to find what I'm looking for. It was OK before, and it's OK now
