Should we have an "introduce yourself" section?

Should we have an "introduce yourself" section where new members can tell us a little bit about themselves (and their own set-up) and existing members can say "hello and welcome" to them?

Yes / no, please do feel free to let rip with your comments...

Yes, that seems like a good idea.

And while we are canvassing opinion on the content of the board . . .

Hopefully, things are starting to move now, after being pretty stagnant for a while, so what about sub-folders under the major headings?

Could be nice, do you guys want a sub-category under GENERAL DISCUSSIONS or a new main category?

General...

Hmm, I was thinking, adding it as a new main category, so it is very easy for new members to find

If possible, adding it as the top most category on the board index page.

Also we don't have a favicon

.

Can a favicon be added to the forum as well ?

A favicon is a small picture (icon) that appears in a users links bar or links tab.
See Sinclair ZX World forum for an example

The Sinclair ZX World. forum uses this code:

Code: Select all

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.sinclairzxworld.com/favicon.ico" />

Or as shown in one of the links I give above:

Code: Select all

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> in the head of your document, where the path is to your image (named favicon.ico )

Of course we do need to decide what 16 x 16 image to use... Suggestions please

Not bad too.

We could have a vote on it - unless there are any more contenders ?
