Berlingo Forum looked different to the usual "run of the mill" sites out there.
Had a quality look to it.
Now looks same as the rest.
I'm really surprised at your reactions (as a forum), but i'm always asking for feedback and now i have it, i guess it is time to act upon it.
I've reverted back changes I made that i felt were optional decisions taken by me:
-Whole header area back to normal.
-Drivers Cafe back as it was.
-Do you guys prefer to have the tabs back at the top of the forum?
What i won't be changing are the new forum structures. 90% of forums remain the same, as they were.
The majority of the changes were made in the Resources and Problems and Faults sections. As you know, we are in quite a difficult position of potentially having the Berlingo Van, Multispace and Pug Partner, each with their MK1, MK2, and MK3 variants. As a result, streamlining these sections was something i had wanted to achieve. The previous set up wasn't working, people weren't naturally posting in the correct sections.
Any ambiguity has now hopefully been minimised; plus it should be easier to for members to navigate to solved problems, and to also view resources. For example, there were 4 Resources forums, totalling around 30 threads in content. It wasn't being used buried away in a sub of a sub forum, and it wasn't an effective way of setting a structure. Replacing whole forums with one stuck thread is an effective way getting information to people.

As above, it is back.

All that has really changed now, looks wise, is the new lines. I've tried to inject some organisation into this site, for the sake of members and staff, and i hope you (& others) are not misinterpreting that as clinical. I've tried to push the site towards a stronger community involvement, and at the same time a more effective resource.
Any issues, come back at me.
