Sub forums
 

Seems like the sub forums have completely killed activity here. Except for Mesa, nothing can kill Mesa.

The only important news is envoys SUB 2 year upgrades!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I said SUB!!!!!!!1

Agreed. It's too much work to check each subforum for new activity compared to having it all on one page.

Subforum are fine for airlines with 10,000+ pilots, but overkill for smaller contract carriers. All each subforum does is basically hold the respective "L&G at Brand X" thread.

I'd be in favor of a return to old ways.

I like the sub forums. It is pretty hard to see the difference in the "new post" icon...:rolleyes:

Pilots; if they had nothing to complain about, they would complain that there was nothing to complain about.

Years ago, when I went to visit my grandmother in the nursing home she would always complain about a lot of things. When she only was complaining about being constipated, I knew she was doing well.

Yeah, I'm not clicking through 13 subs to see what's going on in Regional HE double chopsticks. Oh well, probably not missing much.

I like the sub forum Idea. If i'm trying to find the thread for my company I can just go to that sub. Before I had to scroll through 5 threads about logbooks/luggage/where I keep my logbook and another 6 posts about Envoy and how great their flow/upgrade is.

Also the megathreads where getting pretty ridiculous. Someone asks a question and the answer was "go look in the skywest thread...been answered there dozens of times." Where?? The thread has like 7k posts! Hopefully with segregation people will be inclined to start new thread topics and diversify the information.

All the regional pilots complained that they didn't have subforums like the big boys. So you got subforums.

I said I wanted their paychecks. How did they get "subforums" out of "paychecks" ;)

Sub-forums are much easier to keep tabs on what is going on with certain carriers. It's much easier to find information on a specific carrier vs going through hundreds of pages on a single thread to find what a person is looking for. If there is activity, it will be nice bold to tell you so. If it's not, then it will not be bold.

Problem is activity has only been 20-30% of what it was before the sub forums.

I like how Commuitair makes up 100 percent of the "other" tab

I don't think they are finished migrating. Look at the unsorted threads. Still lots of airlines to move, athough most are smaller yet (e.g. Pen Air, Island Air, Silver, Cape Air).

Thank you + Questions
 

Thank you all for the feedback!!

(And a few of the posts really cracked me up - made my day!)

I have shared my take on my latest post here: in brief, it sounds, and please correct me if I am wrong, the "regional" page needs (and perhaps the "major" page too?) to allow both type of experiences: the users who wants to browse by "airline", the users who just prefer to see a list of the most recently updated threads, sorted by: most recent first.

I am listening loud and clear, I have asked a question to the users who are saying that it is now too much work to check the regionals: users can still see all the most recent threads by scrolling all the way below the categories.

It's extra work compared to the prev experience, the questions that I have for the users who prefer not-to-see the subforums are:
A) do you see all the threads if you scroll down?
B) is this the only impediment that you are currently finding?

Hope this makes sense, thank you again to everyone for taking the time to share. I definitely appreciate and it does help.

The more, the easier
 

The more you all "complain", the easier my job is. Sooooo keep it coming. ;)

Agreed, get rid of subforums, no need for it

Never mind. Just found what I was talking about.

I like the subforums it keeps me from hunting or sifting through a ton of junk. I figure if something important in the regional industry happens it'll be on the bottom of the page.

Activity is still there, to be honest, they are within the airlines sub-forum. There is no need to have a single thread for an airline that covers multiple different topics on an airline.

Eureka!
 

We have found a solution that will allow both constituents to enjoy the content of the forums the way they prefer.

Please have a look here and let me know what you think. We are going to have this all done for the Regional section by the end of May. Hope this works, thanks All!

In the meantime... Today's Posts
 

We will be implementing the new solution soon, certainly by the end of May.

In the meantime, those who like to see the most recently updated threads could try to have a look at "Today's Posts". It is not 100% what you are looking for... but close enough?

Hope so, this is the best idea I got. Any other ideas are welcomed. Thank you All. N

On the Tapatalk App i just scroll down past them and it shows the most recent post.

Thanks - I doubt though that you'll be able to see all the threads. That's what a number of users have been negatively reacting to.

Most likely, you'll only be able to see the threads that haven't been moved to the Regional Airlines subforums.

Click around the Regional Airlines subforums, and you'll find threads that you are not able to see in the "General" Section. I recommend you try have a look at the "Today's Posts" Section for a whole overview of what's getting updated, by main forum/subforum.

I'll try Tapatalk next week, and see how APF looks there.

Thanks.

Nick
