It's easy enough to sort threads into another board if appropriate... and besides, the vast majority of threads do go into the right board! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-guys-think-of-breaking-out-the-feeding-and-sleeping-boards-into-separate-categories#post-1364483 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:06:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 1364483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy specific categories, but not going to lie sometimes I get "stressed" about finding the right category in the already very large list. There are so many &amp; when I'm in a hurry I may not be finding the "correct" one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-guys-think-of-breaking-out-the-feeding-and-sleeping-boards-into-separate-categories#post-1364444 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:51:18 +0000 mrbee 1364444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: If other people are confused by Due Date Twins, then we can definitely look into addressing it!!</p> <p>The reason it's at the very end though is that there are a lot of boards under Due Date Twins and if it's not at the end... then every time you wanted to post into a Parenting or Other board, then you'd have to page down past all the monthly due date boards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-guys-think-of-breaking-out-the-feeding-and-sleeping-boards-into-separate-categories#post-1364422 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:45:32 +0000 LovelyPlum 1364422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: visually, I'm also not sure about it...because the list is alphabetical, it almost looks like the main category "other" is a third category of "parenting". But maybe I'm overthinking things... I explored the new format a bit, and I see the value in linking the sleep posts and feeding posts. It just raises a few other issues as well.</p> <p>ETA: I wonder, then if people would still click on the main "parenting link", not realizing there are other categories besides "feeding" and "sleeping"? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-guys-think-of-breaking-out-the-feeding-and-sleeping-boards-into-separate-categories#post-1364411 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:42:08 +0000 LovelyPlum 1364411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I see. I think it makes sense, but I have another question, then: why is due date twins a separate heading? Under the new model, could you put it under pregnancy? It took me the longest time to figure out what due date twins were, so maybe this could be a way of cleaning that up? Or is that dumb? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-guys-think-of-breaking-out-the-feeding-and-sleeping-boards-into-separate-categories#post-1364403 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:39:23 +0000 Adira 1364403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @LovelyPlum: and I actually think you might get MORE posts in the wrong place if you do it like this. I think people might be more likely to just stop at sleep or feeding since they're upfront instead of posting in solids or wherever their post should actually be.</p> <p>ETA: Ooops - I didn't realize how these boards actually work, so never mind about them being more likely to be placed in the wrong place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-guys-think-of-breaking-out-the-feeding-and-sleeping-boards-into-separate-categories#post-1364400 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:39:06 +0000 regberadaisy 1364400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: tbh I actually kinda like the new set up and find it pretty intuitive.</p> <p>And yes I have noticed the board issues a lot lately too and have been sorting as I find it. I think the larger issue is there are SO many sub boards now that a lot of (newer) members don't know some exist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-guys-think-of-breaking-out-the-feeding-and-sleeping-boards-into-separate-categories#post-1364397 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:38:40 +0000 cheert16 1364397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-guys-think-of-breaking-out-the-feeding-and-sleeping-boards-into-separate-categories#post-1364390 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:35:47 +0000 mrbee 1364390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Ah it's just little things... like someone might put a post about starting solids under Feeding instead of Solids. Or a post about weaning under Breastfeeding instead of Weaning.</p> <p>I think it's just getting harder to see all the feeding-related forums in the long Parenting pulldown, so there's just more threads being started in one of the forums that's higher up alphabetically! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-guys-think-of-breaking-out-the-feeding-and-sleeping-boards-into-separate-categories#post-1364379 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:31:49 +0000 LovelyPlum 1364379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Out of curiosity, where are people putting these other threads? Maybe I missed that...</p> <p>Either way, I think leaving it the way it is would be better. Otherwise, you might as well just have one drop-down bar with all of the various sublevels written out. I think it's too confusing otherwise </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-guys-think-of-breaking-out-the-feeding-and-sleeping-boards-into-separate-categories#post-1364375 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:30:30 +0000 Smurfette 1364375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-guys-think-of-breaking-out-the-feeding-and-sleeping-boards-into-separate-categories#post-1364373 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:29:58 +0000 lovehoneybee 1364373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those are two really big parenting issues, and I like having them as more easily accessible sub-topics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-guys-think-of-breaking-out-the-feeding-and-sleeping-boards-into-separate-categories#post-1364347 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:23:48 +0000 mrbee 1364347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I temporarily made the change so that you guys can see it in action... just go to the first pulldown and you can see it in the screenshot here:</p> <p>[attach=1/14/mzrkte.467x421.Picture-12.png]</p> <p>The issue is that the Parenting pulldown is getting long... and as that's been happening, people have been missing some of the Feeding and Sleeping boards. So it's creating more work for me, to re-sort the boards into the appropriate board... and I think it's harder for a casual visitor to find a particular board.</p> <p>Would love your feedback! Feel free to vote, and comments would be great too! </p>
