Regional Forums

Nooo keep it as it is or I will be in a group all on my own as no one else is in Oxfordshire ..... Actually some people may say that's a good thing

Perhaps there could be a tag after your user name saying where your from?

[riaY]

Wasn't there a thread a while ago about where people came from? Maybe a new one of these that can be made to stick around would be a way to go? I'll start if you like.
I'm Ria and I live in Bolton, Lancashire

Thanks for the replies SJ and others :p

Hopefully something could be sorted out, at the end of the day it would be only one small part of the forum and well you wouldn't have to use it if you didn't wanna really...I think a lot of people could benefit though, I know I for one would benefit hugely from getting to know and possibly meet other sufferers in person as apposed to reading their words via PC screen.

I don't think it would detract anything from the forum as a whole, as the regional idea would only really be used to talk to people near you and organise meets and nights out etc, we would all still be using the main forum headings to discuss our P.

Thanks

on your profile main page it has a section to where u live

loactaion

and when u do a search for members u can see there profile page so would see where they live only prob is soooo many members

maybe a option is just to have it included into the bottom or side section to when u post a thread with the other bits of info

maybe just under our avatars

but with the option of not having it included if members dont want it



some obvisouly choose not to use it to keep themselves safe or just dont want people knowing

[OrbitaL]

Yeah thats true, and some people don't want others knowing where they are from which is fine, totally up to them, I use other forums also which have a regional forums part, car owners club forums and stuff and its a great part of the forum for organising days out, meets and certain shows etc...works really well, and hey as said if you don't wanna know about it or use it then ya don't have to but for those that would like it, it would be cool to have a section to do this.

Thanks for the replies SJ - appreciate this may be something that isn't technically possible and I wouldn't want it in any way to detract from the PHO way as it works so well at the moment.

And if I met a psychopathic axe murderer then they will have well and truly met their match

Have to say - this idea all comes from OrbitaL but I think it's a really good one which is why I've hijacked his thread

[OrbitaL]

I noticed the singing detective in a test board called "Wales" in the mods test board, so maybe the mods are toying with this idea :p

[mustang]

and I can see even more boards appearing now - all very exciting

[Deb'n'Rob]

Can we say where we are from on these new boards yet as they are under childs board?

[the singing detective]

Child boards just means they are sub boards of the main board, please use them for regional discussions
