Now that we have a good amount of articles we need some sort of organazition.... Suggestions?

Subject: Re: Profile Organization Mon Feb 09, 2009 10:00 am

Sort them by family?

I think Type -> Location -> (further breakdown of location if necessary) -> Type (Both common name and scientific name)

For Example:
Cichlids -> African -> Lake Malawi -> Giraffe Cichlid (Nimbochromis Venustus)

That being said, I'd like to see the profiles become a area to help people ID whatever it is they have, and I don't know of any fish stores that use the scientific name.

Well that is what I was thinking too saint....I know it is going to need to be reorganized.....I also though of somehow keeping the profiles where they are now but also making it so.....ex. when someone goes to the malawi Cichlid section there will be a link to the profiles and do the same for every category?! Get what I am saying.

Subject: Re: Profile Organization Mon Feb 09, 2009 6:04 pm

So for example...you would link the malawi cichlid forum section to the malawi Cichlid profiles? That sounds like a good idea.

Subject: Re: Profile Organization Mon Feb 09, 2009 6:25 pm

Something to that effect dawg.....maybe a sticky where the profiles that pertain to that section can be accessed easily.

How bout this??
One for catfish, one for cichlids, one for bottom dwellers, etc you dig where I'm coming?

Subject: Re: Profile Organization Mon Feb 09, 2009 6:34 pm

Ultimately yes...

Mabey when the profiles link is selected the page could open with thumbs and a name of each group. example:

Large Cichlids

Catfish

When a group is choosen the page would show a list of thumbs labeled with its common name for each in that group. (The pic and common name would help with IDing) example:

Angel Fish

Oscar

After clikcking on the spacific thumb the profile would be displayed.

Title ex. Fish Name larger text or Bold or both.

Good Idea!

Subject: Re: Profile Organization Mon Feb 09, 2009 7:19 pm

I was thinking by Family at first, but I think 1neverkwitz has a better idea.

I will have to try some things out in the admin panel and see what looks best and is not too confusing.

I like the thumbnail part!

Subject: Re: Profile Organization Mon Feb 09, 2009 9:49 pm

I'm liking 1neverkwitz idea.

The thumbnails would be pretty choice, but I didn't know the forum software would be able to handle that.

Having a picture and the name would make it even easier for folks to id any random fish.

Definitely, especially with different trade names for a species, e.g. black tetra, black widow tetra, blackskirt tetra, a.k.a. Gymnocorymbus ternetzi.

I think we might be able to pull it off.
