How can we improve the NaCCRA Forum?

FORUM USERS

The NaCCRA Board of Directors has created a team to consider and make improvements to the Forum pages. We invite your suggestions and ideas. You will see some changes immediately, others will evolve in September and October 2024.


We know you lead busy lives, and we'd be grateful if you would take a few moments to share what you like and what you wish would be different.

That's good news. I am curious: what kind of changes do you anticipate making? Thanks,


Susan

The general thrust is to make it more useful to members. We have some ideas, but I want to discover what people like you like and want. I'll share ideas here, and I plan to do a survey of frequent users. This is *our* forum, meaning the members of NaCCRA. Ideas and solutions should come from members. Together we constitute a genius!

Ann MacKay

I was on the Board when we switched to Club Express. The Forum titles were not set up with any categorization in mind so It is a good idea to make changes. I would suggest fewer categories in the future. The bankruptcies/Defaults could become Financial Soundness or Distress. Governance could be an category.


I am a believer that more should be more members only. What are the benefits of membership if everything is available for free?

Richmond Shreve

What categories would you like to see?

Judith Kaufmann

I find it cumbersome to get to the threads, see what a reply refers to, and even reply. A simpler interface would be appreciated.

Richmond Shreve

Judith,


I don't yet know what's possible with our Club Express system. If you are aware of better options, forums that are less cumbersom, please give us a link to check out.


As this forum is now, I find the threads view helps me to locate the original question and see the replies indented. What would make it better?

Richmond Shreve

Networking is one of the chief benefits of NaCCRA membership. The forums are a networking tool. Would more localized forums be useful? (e.g. a State level or even a community level forum.)

NaCCRA is not the place state level forums and definitely not for community level forums. Please encourage those who post to name their state and community.

Here in Maryland MaCCRA has io groups with emails and I can't capture a whole thread. I love the NaCCRA forums and abiltiy to see a whole thread.

I agree with Ann MacKay that fewer categories would be helpful.

Lorraine,


I belong to a groups.io forum, and there definitely is the ability to see the entire thread. Just login to the MaCCRA page on the groups.io website.
