Programming Subforums?

[Lucky Man]

I didn't see any discussion about this, but I just noticed that all of the programming subforums have also been added to the various console forums.

 

No Sir, I don't like it!

 

I think it just clutters up the Forum. Most of us aren't programmers, so it seems to me the best place for the programming subforums should be the Programming Forum. Eh?

There's a large discussion about this taking place in the Atari 8-bit forum right now, where the general consensus (by far) was to move the 8-bit programming forum into the Atari 8-bit forum. To b consistent, I did the same with the other forums. I am going to change the typeface of the subforum links on the main index so they are not as obtrusive.

Without the dedicated few (us programmer types ), you'd still be playing the same 20+ year old games .

I'm not saying I don't appreciate you programmer types, but I think one listing of each programming forum is enough.

I'm unlikely to change this now, but I am working on making those links stand out much less so they aren't in your face. This is something I've actually wanted to do for a while. I'll probably change the graphic that appears before the subforum links as well, as I've never been happy with that.

I've made some changes to how the subforums are displayed so they take up a fair bit less space than they did before. Better?

It seems we (the TI-99/4A programming subforum) are the only ones left in the programming section.

 

Feels a bit lonely know. As a homebrew programmer I hang out most of the time in the programming sections.

I liked checking out what happened in the other programming subforums to tune in on the latests replies.

Now it only says "redirected hits: xxx".

 

Question: is it possible to have muliple "entry" points to a subforum and still show their lates replies ?

Doing so would be like having best of both worlds.

 

Example: have the colecovision and Atari programming subforums appear where they were before and additionally in their

new place.

 

Still we are very, very happy we finally have a little spot at Atariage.

It is really boosting the TI community. So again, big thanks for that.

It is not possible right now, but that's a good idea and I wonder how difficult it would be to implement. I'll have to look into it--it could be easy or it could be a big pain in the neck.

The smaller Subforum font is better, but in the 2600 Forum right now, there is a complete page of Subforums and pinned topics before you get to the new posts below. Seems a bit much to me. But if this might help get us a few more new homebrews, I guess it's worth scrolling down the page every time.
