Small Forum Changes

[SpencerUk]

Hi all,

Following my recent post about adding in the British language back to the forum, some other small changes will come in too. These are not really major changes, but I like to keep people informed and where we are at!

What's Done

• Gone is the "Help Me" subforum. I looked at it and thought to myself, "what's the point?". This is now just merged into the "Chit Chat" forum. It may come back in future, but I doubt it.
  

• In your profile field, you will see a field which says "Digital Region ISP". I thought it would be nice to add it in. It also gives me and my team a rough idea where our userbase is at. Naturally, the majority will be ASK4 (due to the RiPWiRE migration), but I like to see if other new members are also with them.
  

• Of course, we have also added the British Language pack. It was personally annoying me and I wanted to get this changed lol.
  

• Some may have noticed, but earlier in the week, the forum went down for a short time. This was to update to the latest release of the forum. From what the change logs say, it was mainly bug fixes.
  

In The Pipeline

• Potential Twitter integration. It's not really designed for the users on here, but more for getting attention from the Twitter world about Digital Region and this forum.
  

• Potential Digital Region package selector. Funny title, I know. Working on it. It's something I had on my mind when I rebranded the forum but then literally threw it into my bin as I thought there was no need. The more I think about it, I still stand by that choice, but if I get some time, it may help potential customers join the network and let us grow
  

• I'm thinking of running a trial which will involve me most likely footing the cost and sending a piece of hardware out to a user to test. Would be basically a different VDSL2 modem. Not ran the idea past @mattyatty1 or @midragon yet. So it's very, very early doors!. Would anyone be interested in being a test subject?
  

In Other News

What do you want from us?. Is there anything we can do to make this forum better?.

I know everyone is craving for a service status page. We have asked ISP's and Digital Region and we are still at a dead end. We won't give up!.
