New Forum Poll

I agree with Wolf_Q wholeheartedly, but I'm confused on one thing. Will the new forum be used for the PETFOOD RECALL only? Or will it be on all of pet nutrition? If it's only for the recall, I really see no point in the new forum because the pet food recall will end eventually and the forum won't need to be used anymore. Also, pet nutrition falls under the catergory of health, so why can't we just continue to use the health forums?

Karen, I didn't vote, but I think if there was a special board or forum to go to in order to get the most up to date information, it would be worth it. I have one howling cat who misses his wet food, and he would appreciate it if I had the most up to date information in order to know what in the world to buy for him. I know his dry food is safe, but I'm scared of the pouches, even if the Whiskas that he was getting isn't on the list.

Whatever you decide is fine with me.

Logan and Butter, who is so pitiful right now :p

I can see the point of having a sub forum, as Kfamr and Crow Noir suggested. It's nice to have everything that belongs together in the same forum - and people would find what they're looking for, easier. A subtitle should describe what kind of threads posted in the forum, of course - like the others.

Concerning the problems mentioned in some of the above posts, I think it's a good idea if new members read the FAQ's. It seems that quite a few don't know how to Edit a post, but will post 2-3 posts right under each other. It all takes up space. Everyone should also know that it is possible to subscribe to a thread (no excuse for not finding it ;) ) - and that you can have 40 posts showing per page. Also, when people refer to a specific post, mention the post no. instead of saying "It's on page 3". It makes no sense.

Ditto

I think when it all comes down to it, the best solution is the one that will be easiest for Karen and Paul to implement. If putting all the current threads for all the recalls into a new sub/child board within the Other category works the quickest and easiest, then that might be the best solution.

I dont know if thats any easier than weeding through the numerous threads in all the different boards (Dog, Cat, Pet and Other) having to do with all the different recalls, then choosing one to the master to sticky in each board is the best plan.

I voted no, I think it would be good as a sticky or like the others said about a the Current Events.:)

I like things the way they are, but whatever you decide I will always appreciate your decision:)
