    I wonder if this would be better moved to the discussion area where I suspect more people would actually see it. We are very unsure how many people actually visit this section! I am more than happy to move it for you.

    Morning David,

    thinking about this post - if you could move it to achieve best exposure would be very helpful thank you. I had this cleared by Rachel at the club so the club are fine with it.

    many thanks, Jem

    At least normal people can post images on Facebook!

    Can't think of anything else useful except we use it to keep an eye on the family....well that's what they say!

    the disadvantage is that its on FBundecided and like everything ive seen on there, its just one long string of muddled comments....wheres the structure like most decent forums have?

    how do two or three folk discuss an manage a particular issue without all the other (non relevant) stuff in between?

    looks exactly like the 'what are you upto today thread,,,,' on CT, and just like every other FB page ive seen.....not that many, ill admit.

    A reason why I rarely use facebook as well BB. I simply do not find it readable and even less user friendly than this forum smile

    A fine site if you like to see people gurning or showing off their vehicles but if you actually want to find an answer to a question the forum can be very difficult to negotiate.

    And they seemed to have 'borrowed' their logo from MHFacts.

    I tend to agree that Facebook forums do lack the structure of a conventional forum. I expect the problem is that the people that start them either don't have the knowledge or time required to run a conventional forum or find it far easier and less time consuming to run a Facebook page. However they are often useful for a quick answer to a problem which let's face it is what you need rather than a drawn out discussion over several weeks? I think also the conventions on a Facebook page differ so much from a convention forum so you do get a load of personal stuff posted in with the technical discussions and no way of filtering it out. Unfortunately that is the modern way and I don't see it changing anytime soon!

    David

    yes, DK, im sure you're right, as is (are?) K&M....not something id be interested, i find the 'normal' type of forums like MHF, MHFun, OALive far more focussed.

    apparently, there is an Owners Club page for our MH but (like the one for CC) i wont be popping in there any time soon....undecided

    When I helped OH set up a social forum site we started after lunch the day before going on holiday and All the sections and starter threads were in place for the next morning. OH runs it and it requires very little upkeep.
