Your thoughts on DiMa....

[fleetlordatvar]

observation;

The human connections create community between people at the other forums, which can overcome the shortcomings for having a crappy forum. For instance, it's familiar to them & they have "support network" from others on the forum i.e. they all share the same situation & can complain about it despite the quality degradation for over a year. It's easier to ignore problems, issues & complaints. The stronger the connection w/ others in the community the more resistance it is to move or transfer to another community. (same reason people won't get rid of their ****ey politicians despite how horrible they are w/ common sense).

The challenge is how to encourage, those stronger connections to here where the forum is currently much better!

I was surprised @ how bad the Microsoft internet browser is, i tried using it while i was copying some files (same reason i wasn't using Firefox) & it started to lag, freeze up & didn't even display the forum page correctly. I do have IE 8 instead of whatever is the newest, but i still didn't expect those type of problems from a browser that was created by the same company as the OS!! I used Google chrome & it was flawless, beyond stupid that IE sucks so bad!

"Your Wants" tab in Collection is missing page number & advance arrows(?) to select a page at the bottom of the page; see pic.

Added this, Thanks!

Two questions:

1. Is there a way to delete a thread that has already been made?

2. Why won't some threads appear on the home page but others do? Example. Certain threads from the general talk appear on the whats new section of the homepage and others don't? Is there a certain place I have to write a thread to appear on the homepage? I thought anything that was posted on any section would appear on the homepage.

attention seeker? I don't know how much the homepage gets viewed vs going to the section people want e.g. General Talk. why the interest in this specificly?



Observation for brand recognition:
I noticed an eBay listing that had a wings900 ID as part of their description, so i Google & it came up. I then tried DiMA ID & it didn't, when i tried DiMA by itself this is what i got https://www.google.com/search?q=DiMA...ient=firefox-a

hmm, i guess brand recognition will grow once people realize they don't have to settle for their community to be so "ghetto" like the other older less flexible forums. Once they realize they can live in a big house in the rich part of town & not settle for the rundown part of town, this place would get results when searched

1. No - you need to ask an admin

2. The home page is more of a highlight page; but it should include most - It is also not instantaneous, it is cached and may take 15-20 minutes to update. iv'e tweaked a bit what it displays. If you don't see a thread, email that thread to info@diecastmodelaircraft.com and we will take a look.

Just a issue I have when trying to add models to my wish list. After I add a model to my wishlist, and click the close window, the whole page reloads. Don't know if this is a big issue, but gets sorta annoying when trying to add lots of airplanes. Just seems to make the process take forever.

That is by design, to avoid it, hit "ESC" instead of clicking "close window"

Absolutely love the database collection.. Noticed recently that you have crossed 30k collection items.. Congratulations..

One suggestion though, is it possible to have registration as part of basic search instead of advanced? This for me is the fastest way to locate an item in the database..

Will discuss this w/other admins. We purposely designed the quick to be very basic. Adding to it would gum up a few things.

Since it would gum up the works & to save all the man hours to change the search options...

i would suggest to Gliazzurra to save a bookmark in your browser toolbar w/ the advance already selected w/ your options filled in. This is what i do, it's much more efficient than re-entering all my preferences over & over.
