Very easy for someone who's not managing the forum to say...

There was a suggestion to add DIY to the subject to make it search worthy. IF you do a search for "DIY" you get a message "not enough characters". It would be a good idea if the minimum length restriction was lifted.

Try adding and asterisk at the end of such searches. That should fix the problem.

Hey!

This topic is over a YEAR old! That's a long time to think about it. Set a dead line and get'er done!

The heat of Summer is a poor time to collect, so why not do the computer thing now? And while at it, add that nifty little Herp forum.


One of the issues with adding a DIY forum is where and how many? Do we need a DIY in Nets and Gear? How about Captive Care, Shipping or Scientific? Maybe have one in each of the fish groups to show specifics about particular projects? Perhaps all of the DIY topics should be stripped from the forum they belong in (let's say Nets and Sampling Gear) and put in the general? It's really not as easy as it seems to start ripping the forum apart and making several new forums. Again, I'm a huge fan of tidy places to put things but if we had a forum for every detail, this place would be unnavigable.

I have no deadline on this matter as I'm opposed to adding many new forums or taking topics away from existing forums and trying to make them fit in a newly developed forum. I might change my mind in the future but it simply ain't easy making everyone happy while having a forum that works.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :biggrin:

I'm use to being able to bribe the men in this house with biscuits and gravy, apple pies, foot rubs.....

Somehow, I don't think that translates well over the computer. :biggrin: :rolleyes:

Dang, it hurts to have no leverage!

Okay, okay, I guess Tele is right, the whole forum is a DIY. I'll be good. Till I forget.

I agree that a DIY subforum would be somewhat redundant here. It seems to me that folks who choose to collect their own livestock prefer DIY projects to store-bought fishkeeping equipment, so existing subforums have excellent DIY treads already. Except in very busy forums, I don't see an advantage to separating DIY from equipment (or collecting gear, or whatever).

Well, it works for DIY, but sadly, it doesn't work for pH**, or ph**.

Oh, well, I don't understand that topic anyway.

Try " pH " with the spaces. It doesn't work with the forum's search, but it works if you use Google.
