Improvements and Suggestions

In a few weeks time I am going to go through ElectronicsPoint.com and work on improving the site. If you've got any suggestions or thoughts that you'd like implemented on the site then do let me know and I'll see what I can do

I should also mention, if you have ideas for any new forum sections please let me know that too

Suggestion:
need more forums/subforums
like under "microcontroller programming" u can add 8051, AVR, PIC...
so that the topics are properly sorted...

Thanks for the suggestion Rushikesh. Once the forums start to get busier I will expand the sections, but for now they aren't busy enough to support lots of sub-sections.

I'd find useful If I could select whetever or not to use the "rich text editor" which converts the image thumbnails directly into viewable images rather than the plain code.

Hi netshark, I think you can change that option by changing the editor type on the bottom of the options page:

Is that what you meant?

I think it would be more convinient if a notification is sent to a thread starters email adress when it is replied

Hi Chagz, welcome to the forums

You can configure that to happen on this page : http://www.electronicspoint.com/prof...do=editoptions

Just choose the option from "Default Thread Subscription Mode".

Possibly there could be a meet and greet thread, where brand new people could get that pesky first post needed to start threads out of the way?

But since it's just one post I suppose I can find a way to bare it.

Also, Hi Everyone.

Welcome to the forums

Ah, the first post needed before images and links are enabled? I've just removed that limitation now, as that was in place to stop automated spammers from posting links. 99% of users don't have links or images in their first post, so it worked well most of the time - but I can see how it could be annoying. Let's see how this works and if the spam filter catches most spammers still .
