Changes to the E-Series forums

[Troutman]

Having spoken to Sundeep, I am thinking about proposing a series of minor changes to our forums. The 3 that are on my mind currently are:

* merging Sundeep's EF-EL Technical Problems section with the EA-ED one because it hasn't been too popular on its own

* Removing the introductory text "New area coming soon." under the Ford Australia forum

* A new colour scheme. Personally I would prefer if the background remained white so it could fit into Sundeep and my web pages easily, but other than that I'm open to all suggestions.

All feedback appreciated.

Regarding the colours, These colours suite FF.com, and considering the forums do belong to FF, IMO, they should remain how they are...

[Troutman]

Acid, the current scheme was transferred directly from our old ezboard. The rest of FF has a seperate scheme. Our colours have not alwasy been well received since the merger, which is why I have proposed changes.

White is good, as I can look at it at work, and it is less suspicious.

[Sundeep]

Well these colours have grown on me but still don't look too appealing. We can keep the white background a change these other colours maybe?

I have one suggestion to make to this otherwise fantastically perfect site

Change it from "Technical Problems" to "Technical Discussion"

[Troutman]

Yep that's also a good suggestion Bass... and yes we would be looking at changing the other colours rather than the white.

[Troutman]

OK guys, well it's time to get this happen. The introductory text thing has already been addressed, and the colour scheme is no emergency. So the merging needs to be sorted. My suggestion, for now, is simply this:

* Merge EF-EL Technical Problems, EA-ED Technical Problems and renaming the resulting forum to EA-EL Technical Discussion.

If no one objects, I'll contact John shortly.

Update: this change is now impending.

Those changes are now complete - special thanks to Donut King!
