Inge Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) or has the layout changed on the view new posts page? It is now showing the forum area first.. it used to show the new post first column... now it could be me and a senior moment... or my PC playing games with me... but I am certain it was different n hour ago when I last looked it..

Steve Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 You don't hang about do you Inge? I've just changed the order of the columns after discussions with the moderators who thought it might help members make sure they weren't offering nursery practitioner advice in reception areas and vice versa. Obviously it's at least noticeable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) the way I am at the moment Steve it could have been caused by something I did this end... and not remembered... It just happened that I have been on the forum a few times today.. which was why I noticed... had I not I may have missed it..

Guest Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I made the mistake of starting a thread in the wrong forum yesterday however if the new layout was there before I made the mistake I would have still made the mistake. I always view threads from 'View New Posts' and if the forum I want is there I click on it and start a thread, which is what I did yesterday. I made the mistake of clicking on curriculum and general issues which is in 'Reception and Year 1 discussions' but if you view the forum from View New Posts you don't know it's Reception and Year 1 Discussions until the post has been submitted. So what I'm trying to say is changing the layout wouldn't have helped me. Was that what you were getting at Steve or have I got the wrong end of the stick? Probably! ppp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 No, you're quite right PPP, there are plenty of occasions when it won't really be of much use. But we're also going to change some of the forum titles to make it clearer where they're based. It's not a major problem but can disrupt the flow of a discussion if, for example, someone wants some advice on planning in a reception class and another member gives advice based on planning in a nursery setting, which can be very different. We're just trying to save some confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 ...and, by the way, it was nothing to do with your thread yesterday - we've been thinking about this for some time now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Saving confusion is always good in the world of Early Years! I didn't think you changed it because of me, that would just make me far too important! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Just a thought on layout, Steve. You know how on 'View New Posts' it shows the section first now, would it help to sort the posts by type, so you have all 'Inspections' threads together, all 'Curriculum and Planning' or whatever - would that help?

Bigsue Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I looked and thought I had pressed the wrong bit What a Numpty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Yes I'd considered that Cait. But I think too many people expect to see the most recent topics first (ie the columns to descend in date order). If I grouped them by forum area you'd lose this.

beth1 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I am liking the changes. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 ...and there are more to confuse you even further! I've been changing the category names and forums within them, so they will take a bit of getting used to. I hope the changes will make forums easier to find. We now have: Reception and key Stage 1 Discussions Reception observation, assessment and planning EYFSPs EYE Profile, School Curriculum and General Issues and now also: School Inspections Year 2 discussions Foundation Stage Units Nursery, Playgroup, Children's Centre and Childminder Discussions Observation, Assessment and Planning for Pre-school aged children Management Issues Policies and Procedures Nursery Education Funding General Issues, Accreditation, Inspections and now also: Birth to Three Committee Members Children's Centres Childmnders For Discussion of Non-setting Based Issues: Mix, mingle and chat! EYFS statutory framework Practice and Provision Child Development Inclusion & SEN Training and Professional Development Research Men in Childcare Article Discussions Resources Topics and Activity Ideas ICT Nannies For Parents! The last category has been largely unchanged....just a couple of old forums deleted. Hope you can find your way around without too much difficulty now!
