Not sure if a thread was started for forum suggestions, if so I apologise if duplicating.

Is it possible to have two sections under General for COMPUTERS and TV or similar named sections please? :D

Thank you x

Political Debate is already there.

I have added buying and selling sections and will soon be adding the TV and IT forurms.

Regarding restaurants, one of the features of the main Paphos Life site will be a directory. Ideally I would want to link that to any review section, so that instead of supplying contact details, you would just add something like @DIRECTORY:olive_tree, and the system would automatically pull the information from the directory, complete with map etc. Alternativley, it would generate a link to the directory, so that you would click on the link in the review and it would take you to the page in the directory.

I'm waffling now, but for that reason I won't add a restaurant section just yet. That may change in the next few days, or hours.

I wonder if there is a way the have "View Posts Since Last Visit" This would enable members to see all new posts without having to go to each individual section.. Just asking, but don't know if it is possible for the future

I've always used New Posts on all forums... So much easier and no need to scan different sections.

I will add a couple of icons to the top in due course. One to show unread posts, the other to change your password.

This is in addition to the quicklinks menu which is already there.

Right, I have created a new section on the forum called SITE ISSUES.

In it there are four forums.

Site Improvements - Pending
Site Improvements - Complete
Site Problems - Report
Site Problems - Complete

If you put your improvements in the Site Improvements - Pending section they will be a lot easier to manage. Just put one improvement per thread. I don't mind if you post multiple threads, I will then be able to deal with them one at a time.

If you have already posted an improvement here and it has not yet been fixed, please post it again there. I will check back here as well but if you repost it there it makes life easier.

Thanks

Yes sorry, I didn't see that you had created a Political section yesterday.

It would be great if Nigel Howarth's Property Advice section could be moved here I have learned so much from it over the 12 years I have owned property in Cyprus. The guy deserves a knighthood, but he is not a crook so wont get one! ;)
