As a result of a number of requests, ideas, and a lot of feedback from members and moderators alike, we're (once again) trying a new format for the UK & Ireland Regional & Social forums.

This forum is intended to act in much the same way the "old" single UK & Ireland forum did. It is for regional conversation, the floating of ideas for clubs and events, as well as where past events can be discussed.

Once an event is out of the "planning stages", you may either ask a moderator directly to move the thread into the "confirmed" forum, or you may prefer to start a new clean thread in the confirmed events forum, with a link posted the the "banter" thread in this forum.

This decision has been made in an effort to make life easier in the long run for both event organisers, and those wishing to simply "dip in" to the forum and see what's happening.

Once again, we appeal that all confirmed events be placed in the MINI2 events calender (www.mini2.com/forum/calendar.php) so they get maximum exposure.

good idea me thinks

dcfkan · Jul 24th, 2005, 04:59 PM

THANK YOU!!!

Question: Should main "club" threads be in the confirmed event forum on in this one?

Personally, I believe they should be in this one as they are likely to be full of banters

A MASSIVE THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS GETTING LOST IN THE OLD FORUM

Also a question:

We have somethign new for sale. BUT i dont know where to put it in the sale forum or here?

I know you are going to say "In the sale forum" but then we can only sell it in the UK...

Hat · Jul 28th, 2005, 07:21 PM

no sitckies for confirmed runs then?

Paul · Jul 29th, 2005, 09:13 AM

Nope. Confirmed runs have their own forum, so no need to stick them above "chat and banter" any more, as all the runs are equal.

So many people complained about the number of stickies, that was one of the primary reasons for the change.

minisoopercooper · Aug 1st, 2005, 08:48 AM

thats all cool

but

can the clubs main pages go back to being sticky - that way new people can find their own local club easier

in the For Sale forum, but put a UK flag on it so it highlights where you want to sell

I think other national fora had less of an issue as there are less events, their forums are working and users are happy so let's leave them be and not worry about it

tomcoops · Aug 3rd, 2005, 11:28 AM

It's better now with the runs split into planning and confirmed, but it would be so much easier if there was someway of splitting planned runs into date order, and if all planners put the proposed date in the title. Imagine if you could just open up the forum on runs being planned and could see at a glance what runs were coming up and what area they were in - bliss

Not knowing much about the technicalities of the site what I am proposing could be impossible, but there's nothing wrong with optimism

Rakey · Aug 3rd, 2005, 11:44 AM

that could be done if the date was the first thing in the thread title, that should work or at least help

Paul · Aug 3rd, 2005, 12:10 PM

The only way to get a dated view is from the events calender. Linked to from the main menu under community, or the forum sub menu as "Calendar".

minisoopercooper · Aug 4th, 2005, 07:43 AM

Been thinking this one through for a few days now. I do like the changes but I do still feel that the clubs have got a bit of a raw deal because of this. I do accept and support Pauls points about the events so I thought is there a way there could be a third section just for clubs main pages and maybe banter threads.

This way the events and planning would stay where they are and operate in the same way as present BUT any new members could also look in the 3rd forum to see if there is anything more structured in their local area.

There are so many local clubs now that have all stemmed from MINI2 with the sole intention of supporting the site that it seems somewhat sad we are being shunted out in someway. I just feel that this amasing site has spurred so many clubs into existence, therefore this is something to be encouraged and supported and a major achievement by this site and its members that perhaps we deserve our own section?

minisoopercooper · Aug 4th, 2005, 07:50 AM

and while I'm on

can someone move this event from planning into confirmed please? It's definatly confirmed but been over looked
