Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions!
In the beginning I didn't want to create 20 forums for individual little niche areas because I wasn't sure how many people would come and visit, let alone sign up and start posting. So I created some fairly broad categories that cover multiple areas.
But slowly the forums are getting more visitors and more people signing up.. I do like the idea of a beginners forum! I've had a few beginners email me, and maybe a less technical forum might prompt them to sign up and post!
I also like the idea about tips and stuff for astrophotography - I know what you mean about the steep learning curve to taking good shots. I guess ideally these should be articles on the IceInSpace site itself, rather than just a forum thread..
Perhaps I should have a "resources" menu on the site, and sub-sections for astrophotography techniques etc.. I'd need contributions from members like yourselves, because as you know my imaging experience is very limited!!
Maybe they can start out as forum threads and once they've got enough content in there, the best bits are extracted into an article..?? Thoughts?
Seeker, I like that idea - do you envisage it as a forum or as a section on the website? It could be combined into the Buy/Swap/Sell forum, or a separate forum on it's own. Interesting or great deals could be added as a news item on the main website, pointing to the forum thread or something.
Anyway thanks for the feedback i'll try and get onto some of this today.
Keep it coming guys, please! Your help will only make this site a better place to visit and hopefully get more people signing up and contributing!
