    Hello Everyone:

    We have taken the feedback submitted about the existing CVRS Forum and come up with a revamped structure. By far, the most common complaints were that there were too many sub-forums and that it was hard to know where to post a new topic. As a result, we have reduced the number of forums, eliminated sub-forums, and generally streamlined the structure, overall. This is your opportunity to have input into the proposed structure and to tell us what you like/don’t like. We will include this latest round of feedback, and get the new forum online as soon as possible.

    We propose the new forum will have the following structure:

    About our Forums (a forum category, posts are only by forum administration)
    – FAQs
    – Forum Help

    Suggestion Box:
    – where anyone can post requested changes, services, etc., whether they are for the forums, website, organization, etc.

    Members’ Hangout
    – a general chat room for CVRS members (not forum participants) on any topic, preferably non-technical, that members want to discuss.

    Electronic Restoration
    – for all topics related to circuits, components, tips, and tech talk.

    Cabinet Restoration
    – for everything about restoring cabinets, knobs, and related topics.

    Show and Tell
    – Anything about what you’re doing in antique electronics that you want to share with other participants and members

    Upcoming Events and News
    – If you know of anything coming along that might be of interest to our members, post it here.

    For Sale/Wanted
    – The classified section of the CVRS forum.

    Thanks for your participation!!
    The CVRS Website Team

    Looks good to me Don – I like the simplified approach, more like it was a couple of years ago, and very intuitive. The forum still seems ‘slow’ in response though (maybe a technical hosting issue?).

    Looks good to me. As a recent joiner to the CVRS I was a bit lost with the large number of forums, I think the simplified list will help promote easier communication between members on subjects.
