Boring forums

Is there a way we can edit the heading also? Mistakes can take place any time.

You may edit heading in your own post only. But this will not change in posts by others.

I think we can edit every post going in to edit section but we are unable to change the topic in bold blue bar of every post although I am not sure. Thanks.

You may change the topic in your post only and not in others'.

Although this is a mistake and I pointed out by editing one of my post, I feel that nobody misunderstood the thread. The contents were very clear and most replies were also about 'forum' and not 'form'. I heartily appreciate Sarala's efforts to take so much pains to rectify mistake.

Oh come on sarala be a sport- Check i have written your name correctly-
Actually I am one who wants to take every thing sportingly to keep interest going. I really knew what you meant as soon as I entered into the topic but to give it a little funny turn I made my answer that way. And when I saw comments pouring in I diverted their attention to mistakes happen. So take it sportingly. These are forums, nothing to take in offensive manner, especially while you are such a smart person. Cheers.

Oh Sarala now i realised it that to edit all the responses would have taken your lot of time. But what should we do to edit when we have such problem as we can't edit everyone's post. :blink:

sanjeev its a mater of 15 minutes As i am a moderator i have power to edit all posts. As you are a normal member you can edit only your posts and your headings

sanjeev its a mater of 15 minutes As i am a moderator i have power to edit all posts. As you are a normal member you can edit only your posts and your headings

What should we do in such case should we report it to moderator to do the correction. :blink:

Everybodies should start some new interesting thread then it will be more interesting.
Gulshanji,Sandhya and sarale generally start some.
I am trying to do some.

Then what about the threads started my me and Ushaji most recently.
If people are not interested, why are those new threads getting more responses?
Should I give those links getting more responses?

Ceemji is absent nowadays...yet am trying my best to keep it active. Yet, if such responses we are getting, why should I start new ones????

Those who find it less interesting can find new topics....after all it's not an assigned job to me, Gulshanji, Usha or a few members here :angry:

I agree that this is not responsibility of a few individuals only. all members need contribute to their best. There is also possibility of some posts being superfluous or repetitive. My suggestion is that there should be a ceiling of fifty posts for a thread. No member may give more than three posts and these should also not be repetitive. If he still feels that he missed some important point, he may add by inserting in some existing post by suitably editing.

Alternatively, there should be a time limit on a thread after which this must be locked. One week for a thread would suffice. The best response in a thread should get ten points instead of usual five.

I also request for correcting the word 'Forms' to 'Forum'.

Yes, I agree to lock a particular thread if answers are just repetition and nothing new can be added. But locking within 1 or 2 weeks.......not sure enough :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:
If so, same threads may be started next month too by some another person. Again repetitive responses will occur :whistle: :whistle:

"The best response in a thread should get ten points instead of usual five."
It's an unnoticed suggestion Sir, we have discussed it many times before without reaching a conclusion.

Friends mark! This thread is boring still many of us has replied to this thread and argued for or against the topic. Boddunan is earning site. When you consider your hobby as work, it will become boring for you. Think vice versa. You will feel better.

Then why this is topic is continue.It must be stopped this stage.We are only make a way to make a forum interesting..........

How many threads have I started most recently taking much efforts and getting a lot of responses too


Sandhya, a thread after 2 weeks, there will be no interesting discussion to do. Everything will be repetitive. This making the threads to become dry and boring.

When new users come, (me also), they used to search previous threads and post their responses. That's why many old threads are coming up. Just check some old threads which have recently come up. You can know it easily. I usually ignore such threads if I can't contribute anything new. If other users also think so, many repetitive posts can be avoided and will increase the quality of forum. That may be the reason why many new threads go unnoticed.

Sarala: sandhya madam am not pointing you. I didnt tell that you have done waste job. But the threads which are running are not at all interesting one. You may see the number of the responses but you need to see what kind of responses people are giving. Most of them are repetitive. And More over, why are you thinking that you are only responsible for the boring of threads and why you feel that you taking responsibility to initiate threads. Here, every member is a initiator and everyone have freedom to create threads i mean initiate threads. So i am not at all pointing you and don't think i am blaming you ok. For this everyone are responsible, not only you. I want every one to create at least 1 thread while they working in forums that to an interest thread of their great thought.

Sarala you were not actively working here last week. That's why you didn't see many of discussions and new topic going on here.
Also, I have never thought it's my job only.
I thought, you people will also feel happy to discuss new topics......my intention was just to keep people active here. What will I get in return......what should i expect in return...nothing else...some fun, friends and a lot of new pieces of information.

I have earlier also put a suggestion...now also telling....decision is merely in every moderator's hand.
If you moderators find useless posts, just delete them......Never look at any members' face. When such useless posts are deleted and its points reduced, every user will think twice before posting a reply. It's in you people's hand only. You and kalyani can take initiatives. Just wait for a few days. You will get its effects very soon. Am sure about it. A moderator has the power to delete our posts if he finds it's just spam. You two just start it........we will get quick results, sure :) :) :) :)

This is really amazing to know that you reject a old thread and after that you are on the top only by responding a topic in forum.In a situation when no more new thread form.............

This is really amusing ! I have never seen such prejudices against old threads, just to get responses to new threads started by some members.I make it a point to respond to old threads including the ones that have had no responses at all,and that have scope for discussion and also have some interesting point in them ..Just because older members have finished responding to it does not mean that there is nothing left to add by others ...That's not a wise idea for a discussion forum, since the idea is to share knowledge on the subject and interact...that's is my honest opinion !

Yes, new and interesting threads will generate more traffic.
Some senior members should put good threads.

Do you mean old threads have no role to generate traffic. By the way this is not the traffic but clicks and views that matter here. The number of views and the time devoted is basic of generating revenue.

I was just replying sarala's post.....
i never feel that old threads should be avoided

I am not sure whom have you addressed to but this was not you to whom I posted my reply. This was for general appraisal as some one who knows a little about these matters, please do not take otherwise. I have nothing personal against any one.
