January 1, 201115 yr Author Any chance the older versions of unraid (3.0 to 4.5) can be a separate section so we can hide/collapse them? Yes, they will be moved to the Bilge eventually. At present there are still several active threads in there though.
January 1, 201115 yr I've not checked yet, but there are probably hundreds of links from the wiki to specific threads/posts in the forum. Will the links still be valid as topics are moved? (do the topic IDs still stay the same?) Joe L.
January 1, 201115 yr It looks like the topic id's will remain the same if the threads are moved as opposed to copy. The items that would likely need to be updated are any links to the forum level if they changed or were closed out and replaced with a newer forum. (eg: board=# as in http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?board=16.0 )

I know storage costs space but sometimes the information you need only is discussed in older versions. I suggest you put them in a sub forum called older versions or something like that. To put it in a general garbage dump doesnt seem right to me. thanks

Bilge seems a poor place for them.

January 3, 201115 yr The reorg looks great at first glance. I think my prototype builds thread should be moved somewhere into UCD (as it is pretty much the epitome of UCD ) but I'm not sure where. Hardware? Pimp Your Rig? I'll let you decide. Also, if I may be so bold, could it be stickied at the top of whichever thread it ends up in? I know a lot of new users consult it for ideas. There's a link to it in the wiki, but besides that it can be hard to find. No worries if you don't want to go that far. One final request: how about a big, bold link to the wiki on the forum homepage?
January 3, 201115 yr OK, one more How about a subforum dedicated to the 'I'm a newbie please check my build' type of posts? You previously mentioned a pre-sales support board, so I would put it there it that is still in the works.
January 17, 201115 yr Just a suggestion, and not terribly important, but I do like the way SageTV separates support related to beta versions from general support for the official releases. My suggestion is to keep the "General Support" board for all 'general support', and add "Support for Beta Versions", strictly limited to problems with current and future beta versions, plus any beta testing threads. This keeps all beta related problems and testing in one place, easy for Tom and others to check, and where it won't scare the many users who never try beta versions. By the way, outstanding job with the testing regime, Brian! Way to organize willing users, very productively!

I think what's happening is: - General Support is for "all general support" related to current released 4.X versions. - Announcement thread for a beta/rc release gets posts related to that specific release. - Development area is for 5.0-beta.
January 17, 201115 yr One final request: how about a big, bold link to the wiki on the forum homepage? I have found two solutions to that request, but it would require limetech to do some php changes to the forum since there are no easy click install mods for it. I'll follow up with him soon to see if this could be implemented.
January 17, 201115 yr The reorg looks great +1 Much clearer, and a really good plan to have a moderator squad. (is there a collective noun for moderators? An array of moderators?)
January 20, 201115 yr I like Mob of moderators. A Mass of Moderators A Multiple of Moderators A Mess of Moderators
