Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

I'm thinking of adding 2 modifications -

1) a mod to close up the categories... meaning when you come here, all you'd see is

Studio Eight Community
Creative Expression
Discussion
Studios
Artlogs
Columnists
Specials
Reference
Rants & Trash
Archived Forums
Archived Jams & Events

Then, as a user, you can click that category open to see the forums inside it.

2) A way to upload images which will be stored on another site (for free) and when you upload, the image would appear as a smaller thumbnail in your post until someone clicks it.

and

3) I'm thinking of combining Studios with Artlogs
Because I'm having a hard time telling the difference.. they're both forums that belong to members for their own specific purpose.

............

What do you all think of these three ideas?

like the idea of fewer main categories.
love the idea of our own image upload possibility
combining logs and studios is fine

great ideas - spring cleaning and renewal

it's a long way to scroll. So not eliminating categories, but making it so you don't see the forums inside them until you click to open them up. It might be nice yeah!

I was talking to eyelidlessness and he said he thought there may be a way to do the upload feature in conjunction with photobucket of flickr... so the upload here is attached to your account there. I need to check it out.

Thanks for your feedback, judih!

(new artlogs... westie, yabyum and now constantine! I'm so happy to see people getting into having their own forums! Yay!)

I'm taking your advice, judih, and combining some of the categories. Makes much more sense now. Thanks very much!

well....i like the idea of combining. yay renovation.

Cool! I honed it down from 11 categories to 8 tonight. Getting more streamlined. Easier to see where you are.

Thanks, judih and Yab!

go.

i like it. all for elegance

thanks, Doreen.

My night is going good!
