How do we move on?

I think we've done that, Broadside. I remember us compiling a wish list which Rowena passed on to someone else. That was a long time ago......

A long, long time ago......

Only 20? Didn't someone recently state at the AGM that there are 350,000 CT users? I do think most of them have made at least one post, even if it was to castigate the Chairman for his embarassing turn on COTY. I was amazed at how many knew their way onto the forum.

Nothing much wrong with the forum. Some brilliant advice to be found in the caravannning (and motorhome) sections. The General Chat could be seen to be getting a bit cliquey if you're a newcomer and may be intimidating to some.

Photos? Some will overuse it but if its what most want then I'm happy to have it.

I do wish that HQ would become more involved, maybe question and answer sessions, not limited to the current 2 hours every Preston Guild that currently applies. Sometimes threads have died a death waiting for replies from those Upstairs.

Overall, 8 out of 10 from me.

There might be 350,000 website users, which is an entirely different thing. You have to register with an email address, so that you can book via the website. Those who visit the forum will be a lot lower, and those who participate on a regular basis will be a great deal lower. It takes a very unusual thread to get people posting into the hundreds. The last time I can remember dozens of different CT users actively participating was to register their thoughts and comments regarding the Caravanner of the Year Competition, back April/May time? That certainly egged the pudding enough to create a stir! The thread will still be there somewhere, pages back. Lots of different users names contributed to that thread.

I think I fall in to groups 1,2 and 3 ,are we allowed to be put in to groups ???

I think that most will fall into all 3 groups, I know I do.

There seem to be three sorts of contributors on here. 1. Those who want advice.  2. Those who are happy to give advice.  3. Those who just want to chat, discuss, natter, and argue with each other.

I guess I'm in each of the three groups too.  I post on CT several times virtually every day in some section or another.

You must be joking !

The forum software is RUBBISH !

Go online to any of many comparable forums and see how the software could be made much much more user friendly.  It's no wonder there are so few regular posters.  Many people have given up and gone elsewhere.

THis sin't some new thing and would not take much money to fix, but the powers that be at the CC clearly think that it is not a priority.

Yes the software does it's job just. No one on here would say its is brilliant. But, but, what is the main aim of the club? To have a good network of sites for us to use or a good website to use. What would you rather have? Well run club sites or a fantastic website.

I tink Ct does a good job. The advice given to problems is outstanding, for example someone posts a problem with their heater on their fist night on site and answers are forthcoming almost straight away. Advice on awnings, parts, caravans, best routes, best sites... is very good too. For this alone CT is excellent. It also keeps us amused when not actually away in our favourite hobby

Yes there is banter and sometimes heated arguments but they don't detract too much from the points above.

The only change I would like to see is ,a better way to post photos , I'm not bother about the smell checker working,as I'm prity good at speeling

Write your comments here... I wasn't commenting on the saoftware merely the threads and participants. I agree the software is rubbish and if you've read any of my posts you would see me regularly saying so.
