Suggestion for the new W/NW forum

[eric_perlberg]

I just tried to start a new W/NW thread in the new W/NW forum. I

wanted to make a post of a "dangling urban object". Logically to me it

falls under the category of "Street Photography" but that's not one of

the options listed.

 

I tried not selecting a category because the only category even

remotely related was the camera type that I used to make the photo. By

not choosing a category and clicking submit, I received the following

error:

Error

An error occurred while attempting to put your post in the forum:

 

missing " NEW

 

(I assume that's because I didn't put a category).

 

Since getting away from camera type postings as the organising

principal was the whole reason as I understand it that we moved W/NW

to its own forum I have two suggestions:

 

Either include all the forum options in the Category drop down (in my

case Street Photography but I think others are also missing)

 

or

 

Make declaring a Category optional.

 

Cheers

Eric

I think its a general bug in the forum. I tried starting a thread w/ a category and got the same error.

There was a problem and I put in some extra logging code to help find it. Then the logging code caused a problem.

Brian, will all the forums (incl. Street Photography) be available in the drop down Category list when the problems are fixed?

Well I have to admit that I was expecting something different. Aside from the fact that I tried to start a thread today and recieved an error, I was rather dissappointed that the categories were the same as the normal forums. I suppose I understand this simple separation but what about categories that are more specific to W/NW threads or, at least Eric's suggestion which seems to make sense to me. Whatever happens Thank You for the effort. I look forward to being able to start and participate in these new threads!...;)....J
