Ballreviews Needs Your Suggestions For Updating The Site
« on: April 22, 2008, 03:49:24 AM »
Hello Everyone-

      We are looking to update the site with new features, and a better forum to keep Ballreviews as the best ball review site out there.  We are looking to add reviews for shoes, bags, and accessories.   Also we are going to implement video and picture uploads.  We are looking to you guys for any suggestions you have for the following categories - Layout, Content, Navigation of the site, and Forum Tools.  Please feel free to post any suggestions you have for these categories, but try to keep it short and sweet.  

Example post:  Forum Tool - I would like to have a better way of searching the forum.

      We thank you for your suggestions, and help in making Ballreviews the best it can be.

Don't know if this has been said here or not, but how about a forum section devoted to mechanics.  I know there are alot of mechanics who frequent this site, and why not allow them to discuss machines, proper maitenance/repair to machines.  Pin monkeys/chasers/mechanics need not be overlooked.

I don't know if it's just me. But I think it should be a requirement for everybody to enter some kind of profile. Just what I think.

I don't think it's broken...so don't try to fix it.

We have a nice home here at BR.  I've been on many other sites out there that have made major modifications at one time or another and saw nothing in return.

The chat idea is great.  My only concern is that it doesn't become the demise for this site as it did for a few others.

What would that solve?

Do you read some of those profiles?

Do you believe some of those profiles?

I actually enjoy reading profiles, and when I want to buy something or trade something with somebody, I want some kind of profile, like name, and where they live, bowling stats, etc. Personally, it would make me more confident in buying or trading with people.

I think entire thread blocking would be a great function.

I just have one i'd like to add, the option to change the white background to a different color. I don't know if it is possible but I think it would be really nice to be able to select a color scheme, keeping the same format but just having some options.

I personally prefer dark colors on screens and especially on forums, I feel it is easier on the eyes to have a back background and light colored text on it.

How about putting the thread title in the subject line of the notification emails when you send it?

You know instead of just "Forum Response" maybe make it "Forum Response to <insert thread title here>"

Hi there.
 Just an observation.It seems that there are a lot of bias reviews.Of course someone on the staff of some bowling ball manufacturer company is going to say great things about their equipment.What else are they gonna say?
Fact is the average person like myself who did horribly in math and knows nothing about geometry or drilling gets more confused than informed.Especially when EVERYONE says the equipment they use is the BEST!
I don't know about anyone else,but I don't have 200 plus bucks to throw down on every ball that comes out that is supposed to be better than the previous one.And how does one find someone to drill a ball that knows how you bowl if they've never acutually SEEN me bowl? I'm open for suggestions.
Thanks for your time.

It would be great if you could make the miscellaneous non-bowling related section    an opt in whether or not you see those posts on the "Recent Posts" on the main page.

So if you click yes in your profile it shows the all most recent posts, if you click no, you only see the bowling posts. Give members the option to see it, like their ignore list.

I just had a thought (yeah, I know - unusual)
Would you please add a check box for type of lane surface (wood or synthetic) for entering ball reviews?
Thanks!
