Default Suggestions for streamlining forum

This forum has grown amazingly large - which is good and bad at the same time, in my opinion - and often the same questions are being asked over and over. Maybe something could be added to the "Forum Rules" that directs newbies to do a keyword search before automatically asking a question that was probably asked yesterday, the day before, last week, etc. Maybe there could be a separate section on "Training Your Chi," which would include a sticky on tips for potty and behavior training.

I'd also like to see a section on "Other Pictures" to group all the other dog breeds, cats, fish, snakes, hamsters, etc., and even kids and other family members. I enjoy looking at pics of other breeds, other kinds of pets and peoples' kids but I'd rather not have to wade through them if I'm only interested in the chi pics at that particular time. I'd love to see those pics grouped together in their own section.

I'm looking for ways to make this increasingly busy board more manageable for the members. I'm not looking to stifle participation or posting - quite the contrary - but only to simplify things and make navigating the site a bit easier.

I hope nothing I said was offensive to anyone.

Very good idea Rachael! I don't find anything offensive about your suggestions at all. I don't post a lot, but I'm lurking almost every day and I think you're right about increasing members. I'm finding it harder and harder to just keep up with all that's going on. Anything to help organize would be a great plus IMO.

Good points Rachael.

To look at the chihuahua only pictures, they would be in Chihuahua Pictures. All other pictures belong in General Chat. If you see pictures that don't belong in the Chi area you can PM a mod and they will move it to General.

Wow, you were even more offensive than I was.

I can't believe how rude some people are around here.

I can't believe I just said that.
