Title: New boards
Post by: Jane S on January 10, 2009, 05:31:18 PM: We're in the process of doing some forum spring cleaning and will be adding some new boards and removing/amalgamating some others. At the moment, we have two new boards :

http://www.cockersonline.co.uk/discuss/index.php?board=141.0 (for chat about other pets besides dogs)

and

http://www.cockersonline.co.uk/discuss/index.php?board=142.0 (for other general dog related discussions)

Other changes will be announced as soon as we have time to get them sorted ;)

Post by: Annette on January 10, 2009, 06:36:50 PM: Thanks for that. I'm not sure I am all that clear about the second new board; what you want us to put in that etc, so please be patient with me (and any other thickies out there)!

Thanks for all the work you all do.

The threads that have been moved over to that board should illustrate what can go there - it's just for discussing general dog-related issues (the type of thread that used to go in Anything Goes because there was nowhere else to put them).

PS Sorry for putting the same link twice above but when you've spent a couple of hours moving threads about, your brain tends to go to mush :005:

Post by: Jane S on January 10, 2009, 11:22:33 PM: Another new board by popular demand :

http://www.cockersonline.co.uk/discuss/index.php?board=143.0

Please bear with us as there are lots of threads which could go on this board but it will take time to find them and move them over.

Post by: Jeanette on January 16, 2009, 05:24:03 PM: Love the holiday board, will there be one for recommendations for good places for dog walks
Title: Re: New boards
Post by: 6thSense on January 16, 2009, 05:42:02 PM: That is an excellent idea.
Title: Re: New boards
Post by: Colin on January 16, 2009, 05:43:14 PM: It is something that's been discussed in the past but there's no plans to have one yet. If anyone wants to give a write up of their favourite walks they could put it in the Reviews section. Requests for walks in a particular area can be posted in Anything Goes.

With everyone living in different parts of the country it would be difficult to set up a specific board that would adequately cover all geographic regions and be easy to navigate. We are also a bit wary of having too many boards on the forum - to make space for the 2 new boards we removed a couple of rarely used ones.

If anyone wants to compile a list of existing dogwalk websites we could maybe 'sticky' it in the Holiday section though, if people think it would be useful for planning holidays.

I've done a new sticky with links to sites giving info on good dog walks, dog friendly beaches etc

Post by: emilyjw on February 27, 2009, 08:48:47 PM: Can there be a bit in showing or somewhere where people can post online photo comps? I'm sure I'm not the only person who likes entering them.

It's Brackens only hope of rosettes :005:
Title: Re: New boards
Post by: Colin on February 27, 2009, 10:29:49 PM: Details of any Online Photo Competitions are currently posted in Anything Goes... you could start a thread there if you like Emily.
Title: Re: New boards
Post by: emilyjw on February 28, 2009, 10:10:44 AM: Sure, is it worth having as a sticky like we have for the companion shows?
Title: Re: New boards
Post by: Colin on February 28, 2009, 12:28:56 PM: I've put a thread in AG for you Emily. ( Mod/Admin permission must be sought before posting any links though.) I've made it a sticky for the time being - I'm not sure if comps such as your 4Paws one might receive less attention if they were posted there rather than having their own thread... we'll see how it goes.
