New Member greetings
Hey,
I am, or have been a member, of many forums on many subjects or interests along the way. For many of us - that have this past - it's easy and not stressful whatsoever. However, I've imagined that for some it may be a daunting decision to sign up - filled with insecurity and reservation. On this board - only a small % of members actually post a "Hi... I'm new message". Do you think it might be a diferent twist (and promote input), for us, the current members - to post a welcoming message in the welcome board, when we see a new member join up???............. sorta like a digital welcome wagon thing...... smile Your thoughts?..............? Cheers, OldTimer <>< I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life. ><> See you on the river. |

RE: New Member greetings
I think that would be a great idea. It would help give said person a "start" on the forum.
Just one question what of the user doesn't see this post or what if the user posts their own "Hi... I'm new message". Giuga10 |

If they post a "Hi" .............. great............ business as usual. Perhaps we should wait a day or two after they sign up , and then initiate a welcoming thread (and not multiple posts)........... sound acceptable? OT <>< I once gave up fishing.

RE: New Member greetings
Can we make them answer several questions? for example:
how long have you fished? what is your favorite spec? where is your favorite spot? one most memorial fish you fished? and something like this. or they can answer 5 questions among 20 questions?

But we could ask a couple randoms, like we normally do when we get new visitors, but making a set list and making them answer them wouldn't be too welcoming. Giuga10 |
