Alex Brecher 10,515 Posted June 7, 2013 Regardless of where the FAQ is, people won't find it and will need to be linked to it. I think most people use the app, and sticky threads in the app are on a different tab (I didn't even notice them at first). I like the idea that only vets can post, but I think the way that threads work is that someone has to go in and edit the first post to add things that people have put in the comments. Maybe you guys could talk to Alex about it. Maybe he could make a webpage on here that was not a forum post, and you guys could put things there. Or you could maintain it on a different website like someone's blog and just link to that. (I feel a bit guilty posting here because I'm not a vet, but I have been involved in a lot of forums and websites) I agree with all the points mentioned above and I'm in middle of rectifying the situation. We're going to have actual pages of just content that are outside the forum but still part of the web site. Some will be info about surgery and the others will be a help section on how to use all the features on the site as well as the app. I'd be very happy to add a FAQ area as well. We're also coding our own app from scratch and we've fixed the sticky issue you mentioned in the beta app being tested by some of our members. We'll have the ability to display any data from the site within the new app once it goes live. I think most members will be (pleasantly) surprised once we roll out the new community we've been working on the last few months. 7 feedyoureye, jensjoy28, Fiddleman and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mistysj 1,940 Posted June 7, 2013 That sounds so good, and I can't wait! How do we find out how to help with the site? I really appreciate all of the hard work you put in behind the scenes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just take it easy and rest up until we launch the new community. We can get started once it's live. There will be tons to do at that point.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsereno 2,525 Posted June 7, 2013 I'm looking forward to seeing a FAQ section that can be provided as a link for quick answers. Sometimes I spend a lot of time digging for something I saw two years ago that someone is asking about again. New community, that sounds a bit scary but I'm open!

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted June 7, 2013 Can't wait to see the new community . I hope it's not too much different than this one .. We always complain until we get used to a new format. It's hard at first.. 3 ShouldBlittler, Ms skinniness and Alex Brecher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
