EXCITING NEWS! We are redesigning YYW.co.uk

Hi everyone

We have some exciting news for you. We are planning to redesign the the whole of Youandyourwedding.co.uk, including the community area. This covers the forums, blogs and image galleries, with the possibility of introducing new elements for your enjoyment.

As you are the people using the site, we feel it's important that you have some say in the new design so we’re inviting you to let us have your ideas. If you could have the forum of your dreams, what would be in it? How would it work? What would you like included? This is your chance to let us have your wish list.

And not just for the forums, but also for the blogs and image galleries.

Tell us how you would like them to be and how they should work. Even just telling us what’s wrong with the existing ones will help us in the re-design, so your feedback will still be valuable.

I look forward to reading your brainwaves; I’ll be back in a few days to chat about all your ideas.

Many thanks

Webmaster

It would be nice to have admin who actually look after the forums. Deleting posts made by trolls before they upset too many users. Not just deleting the posts that are offensive but also warning the posters who made them, and if they are obviously a troll banning that user from the forum

Be able to search for a thread/blog - search function is rubbish just now!

Please improve the search facility, even if its just a Google search box as the current one is awful!

Also, it may be best to just have ads on the left hand side so that that when people post pictures the ads dont cover them.

If we could have an option to email the Web Ed to pin certain posts to the top of the board it would be great so we dont get the daily "how do I post a picture" thread.

The site as a whole looks too busy and a more simplistic design would be good.

Thanks!

I agree with the above suggestions but please dont change the style of the way the community chat ?

1) Put the forum list in some sort of order.

2) Improve the search facility.

3) Actually moderate the forum effectively for a change.

4) Get rid of the ads or at least give us the choice as to whether we want to see them or not.

5) Allow for 'stickies' so the same question doesn't get asked a million times!

I will think of more Web Ninjas....just you wait and see.

Fully agree Daisyloz - don't make this site look like Wedding Ideas which, imo, is a pain in the ass to look at.

Ability to search forums
Find all posts you've made, not just threads you've started
Make sure the ads don't overlap the thread
Private messages that stay on site rather than giving away your email address

All of the above are great suggestions. Stickies are a great idea, improving the search box because at the minute it's pretty useless and rather than getting rid of the adverts, maybe just move them so they don't overlap peoples posts.

brilliant news!!! i know you have the adverts can we make them so they dont appear across forum chats though, its really annoying esp if someone is posting a picture.

what about a live chat???

Ditto.

i agree not to make it like wi ...i hate looking on their its a pain

alsi i really really really think we should have a diy thread for brides and brides to be to show things they have made themselves etc

think that you should get rid of the adds they are a pain iimo

The ads won't be got rid of because without them the site won't be free, but they can alter the forums so that they don't overlap.

no adverts full stop? I know its a long shot but they are crap.

No horrid white background? And why is everything pink?

I like the white background - makes it easier to look at threads as it's much cleaner.
