Forum Organization and Layout

lpxxfaintxx · 11-06-2006, 04:32 PM

Ok, so the Zune is launching VERY soon! I was going to post this in the Staff Board, but I changed my mind. I want YOUR opinion, as well as the staffs'.

Near launch, I plan on re-doing the forum layout.

This is the current layout:

Zune Discussions
--- Zune News
--- Zune Talk
--- Zune Sites
--- Zune Accessories

Zune Downloads
--- Firmwares
--- Wallpapers
--- Videos
--- Tools
--- Hacks & Mods

Near launch, I plan on changing it to:

Zune Discussions
--- Zune News
--- Zune Talk
--- Zune Rumors
--- Zune Sites

Zune Generation 1
--- Accessories
--- Help & FAQ
--- Testimonials
--- Tips & Tricks

Zune Downloads
--- Firmwares
--- Wallpapers
--- Videos
--- Tools
--- Hacks & Mods

(And keep General Discussions as it is)

Any suggestions? I am not really good at organizing these stuff, so PLEASE, feel free to comment!

Regards,
LPX :icon_eyes:

So far so good. I can't really think of anything to add/change to the Zune related forums, but there's a few things I can think of for General discussion.

Videl's suggestions for one, (Help and technical, serious discussion); something for graphics/pictures etc...

That's all for now. About serious discussion, 'debate' kind of functions as a 'serious discussion' forum, but meh.

Just thought of something. Under Zune downloads, there's videos, but no music or anything, are we avoiding that?

Well, I don't think my host would be very happy with copyrighted contents.. Know what I'm saying?

11-06-2006, 05:16 PM

Have the BWHacks people get special places

. That would be entertaining.

lpxxfaintxx · 11-06-2006, 05:25 PM

But how many BWH people will there be? If there's like 3, it's no fun

11-06-2006, 05:31 PM

I'll bring in plenty if you'd like. If I offer +rep to anyone that joins the forums I'm sure we would get afew.

lpxxfaintxx · 11-06-2006, 05:40 PM

I guess we can, but I don't think that'd be fair to non-BWH members. Maybe something like a premium subscription kind of thing? BTW, let's take this into the Staff Boards.. http://zuneboards.com/showthread.php?tid=404

Ya, that's what I figured.

Looks great so far. But the Zune Marketplace is just as important as the Zune, so maybe it should get its own section? Maybe Something like:

Zune Marketplace
--- Problems & Support
--- Questions & Answers
--- Zune Pass

Problems & Support = Download problems, Installation Problems, Setting problems or any problem your having in/with the Marketplace.
Questions & Answers = Spot where people ask questions which are Marketplace specific. Such as "How do I import all all my songs into ZMP" or "How can I rip a cd I own into ZMP".
Zune Pass = Questions specifically about Zune Pass, such as subscriptions and renewal.

I can't really think of anymore then that. Just my 2-cents:icon_winkle:

lpxxfaintxx · 11-07-2006, 06:35 AM

That's a great idea! Adding one now..

11-07-2006, 07:08 AM

Very good ideas.

yensed · 11-07-2006, 07:10 AM

Thank you both! I appreciate it :-)

putis · 11-07-2006, 10:05 AM

Also, we could use a Website related/news type of thing, where this thread would go, and news on updates to the site/staff/rules/etc.

Boy I'm dumb.

lpxxfaintxx · 11-07-2006, 10:12 AM

LOL! It's ok, I blank out sometimes too. :P

putis · 11-07-2006, 10:18 AM

Ya, just one of those days I guess.

11-07-2006, 10:37 AM

Everyone does it sometimes

.

Samurai · 11-07-2006, 12:26 PM

In all honesty is seems to work good now, but the changes look good too.

yensed · 11-16-2006, 06:05 AM

I think we really need a Video Help section where people can discuss Editing and Converting videos for the Zune. If you go to the "Videos" area, the most popular topic right now is "Aspect Ratio Problems".

Another thing I thought that might be beneficial to the board in the long run would be to change the "Zune Marketplace" section to "Zune Software". And then make a area within the "Zune Software" specifically for the Marketplace. Like this:

Zune Software
--- Problems & Support
--- Questions & Answers
--- Zune Pass
--- Marketplace
Just some thoughts :shy:
