Some people have expressed intrest in having Brew Club forums located on AHB.
The original request thread was started by stephenkentucky and is located here http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...showtopic=11921
This is going to be a little bit of a trial and error in order to find the best solution for this, but as I see it now this forum is located in the main Fermentor category. I was hesitant about creating a dedicated root forum as all the subforums will be visible on the main page and this would take up alot of room.
I will investigate if it's possible to have a root forum and hide the sub forums on the index view. Either way it's easy to shuffle things around.
In terms of how the club subforums will work at this stage I think publically (members) accessable forums no real different to the exisiting sites. There is facilities to offer password protected forums so only members from a specific club can gain entry but at this stage I want to avoid over administering anything. I think if it's going to be hosted on AHB then it should be open to the AHB member base.
Guests will not be able to see the forums - so it's only AHB members.
So from here, can I just ask people to PM me with the club details if they are requesting a forum. You need to specific the name of the Subforum, a short description, and a current website if you already have one and a subforum representative.
Again, this is going to be a bit of trial and error, but I figure each club can have a rep or two that has permissions to moderate posts in their specific club.
Anyway, thanks to stephenkentucky for the idea and the support of the brewing clubs.
Hopefully this will allow clubs that don't have a decent online pressence a chance to open discussions up for their members.
