Clearout & Migration

Hi all,

I have created this Thread to advise of any issues, any downtime as there was last night (15/06/09)

Also for any Rules and Regulations for the Forum, which myself and my Moderator shall be discussing very soon. So all shall be available for current members to view.

Many Thanks

Admin

Hi Everyone,

I have now added a new section called Galas & Events should anyone wish to post any upcoming Events.

Best Wishes

Andy

70013 is going to spend a couple of weeks at B&KR before doing GB II tour, also on Fife circle on 18/04/2010 if anyone fancies a trip to Scotland .

Scots Guardsman also expected to be stabled at B&KR from 10 - 13/ 04 /2010.

Hi Dave,

Do you have a link that you can put in the Galas & Events section on the Members Lounge? https://nineelms.forumotion.com/galas-events-f32/

hi admin,

info is from a pal, a regular volunteer at B&KR. Stuff about GBIII and 70013 on Fife circle is from UK mainline steam railtours 2010

Hi all,

I have created a new button for anyone wishing to add any Steam news such as Galas or Mainline running times etc at the top of the main forum screen. This is called Steam News Calendar. If it prompts for a password; the password is Steam.

Please can some one try it out and let me know the outcome. It will open in a new Window and will show an icon which will need clicking onto to take you to the Bravenet hosting site.

Any problems, please let me know.

Many Thanks

Andy

Hi all,

I am thinking about having a cleanup of the Forum by reducing the main page slightly. I would like to get as much feedback as possible from other members of the forum for ideas about which sections to keep and which to remove. From here I will move any threads into relevant old or New sections.
Any feedback will be gratefully received.

Many Thanks

Andy

All,

I have added a new item to the Steam News Calendar dated the 12th Feb 2011. All/any new events shall be posted here in due course. Please keep an eye out and if any members would like to add any events, please do so by clicking on https://nineelms.forumotion.com/portal[/b][/i][/u] up at the top of the Forum screen. Any problems please let me know via PM or via posting to this thread.

Many Thanks

Has anybody got any good ideas to the above to try and reduce the length of the main screen. My intention is to make it alot more user friendly.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Hi all,

Just to advise that since i have now got the Steam news Calendar feature to work as it should now - The other Calendar tab has since been removed.

This is part of my ongoing process to try and reduce the amount of options/threads as part of the Migration/Clearout stage.

Any problems please let me know.

Many thanks

Andy

As part of the ongoing process. I have now moved all relevant posts from the old thread called Steam to other relevant threads and removed the Admin and Moderator Thread section and moved all posts to the Forum Information section.
You will notice a few other changes over the coming days.
The Preserved section is now called Mainline & Preserved Steam to discuss any Mainline from yesteryear to the current day as well as all/Any preserved steam such as overhauls etc to the current day.

I hope this helps?

Any problems please let me know.

Best Wishes

Andy

Additionally; the sections Pictures and Locations has now been removed and moved to a new section called Photography & Locations

Many Thanks

Andy

Hi all,

The Welcome to Nine Elms & Forum Information have now been integrated into one section. Hope this makes things easier and clearer. The link is here; Welcome to Nine Elms & Forum Information

The same rule applies that if any problems occur to contact myself or the Moderator team and we shall resolve as soon as we can. All should be fine though to post.

Many Thanks

Andy

How would members feel if I put the Diesel & Electric sections into one section?

Would members prefer some of the shed sections removed or incorporated elsewhere? Please let me know. There hasn't been much conversation in these parts; so if it makes the layout easier; please let me know you're thoughts and ideas.

Thanks

Andy

With the Shed section getting little interest - I am thinking of reducing these. What do members think? I am thinking of putting it into just one section called 'SR Engine Sheds' due to the fact not alot of posts are made? All outstanding threads and posts will of course go into this one section.
This means that all sheds such as Bournemouth, Basingstoke, Salisbury etc.... Will be incorporated into just one section.
If anyone else has any useful information to contribute or any ideas; I will certainly take them all onboard.
Thanks for your time.
Andy

Hi all,
I am thinking of reducing & cutting down the Engine Shed Section on the main site as this has had little or no interest. I would really like to hear users coments of how they would like to see this. This is your forum as well. So please what ever comments or suggestions that you have I would really like to hear.

Look forward to receiving the suggestions soon.

Cheers

Andy

Hi all,
Due to the lack of posts in the Shed's section, I shall be endeavouring to reduce the section to Just Nine Elms and Other Sheds. All current posts will be put into the other Shed sections.
Any problems or wishes, please let me know.
Many Thanks
Andy

Hi everyone,
I have moved a thread from a new member. Sorry Paul.
But it has made me think about renaming a part of the forum from Photography & Locations to Video's, Photography and Locations.
I hope this helps and welcome to the forum Paul.  
Best Wishes
Andy

Hi all,
Is there any threads which Members would like me to add or any which you think should be removed?
