Proposed sub-forum split...

Nigel Barker · June 24th, 2009, 08:55 AM

Assuming that I still wanted to read all the 5D posts in a bunch of sub-forums it would take me a lot longer to navigate through them all one by one rather than just through the one that is here. So while the volume is manageable I too vote to keep the single forum for the present time as the oldest post on the first page is four days old so new posts aren't being kicked off the first page yet.

I really appreciate all of the feedback offered here... I've decided to create just one sub-forum for now, a sample clips gallery, as we've done for some of the other camera boards here such as the Sony XDCAM EX series and Canon XH series.

I know I'm late to the party, but here's another vote for keeping it as is.

The sample gallery split is perfect. It keeps the technical stuff together and makes it inviting to post our creations.

My vote is to keep it like it is. It's easier to read 1-3 pages then to go through 3-5 divisions to look at stuff. Happy with the way it's going now.

Most likely the Sample Clips area will be the only sub-forum for the foreseeable future. However I might implement thread prefixes as an experiment (see our Classifieds & Ebay Auctions sections for examples). The advantage is that the forum listings can be displayed showing only a chosen prefix, such as Audio, Firmware, etc., which is much more effective than searching single terms. The prefix categories would be Glass, Audio, Firmware, Edit / Post, and Accessories.
