How important are news for you?

Postby Toby » Sun Jan 13, 2019 9:15 pm

I am interested in your opinion about the news section.

Do you look it up at all or just view the forum topics and read news there?

We show a part of news on the home, and more here: https://se.kiteforum.com/news/

Please let me know what you think.

I need to make up my mind if I want to keep or eliminate it ... and not sure what to do.

But in general I want to concentrate on the most important part of this site...which is the forum and the spots.

Thanks
Toby

Never read but might be a good idea to combine News/Events and move all the Kite Race into it as well

I already deleted the Kiteracer and Events forum and moved the postings into the Kitesurfing forum.

Too many forums, trying to narrow it down.

Thanks

They’ll get lost in Kitesurfing. Kitesurfing is already too generalized.

News/Events might be a good forum to keep for a while.

I am similar to most respondents: I do not visit the specific news page on this website. I think you can just drop News posts under the "Info" forum, or create a new "News" forum, but it looks like you are trying to simplify, and "Info" should do well.
