There are now two threads on the MFD and four on the JSO asking about buying perfumes and samples online. Eventually these threads get moved to City Shopping Guide, where they are buried under nearly two dozen sub-forums dealing with brick and mortar stores in various countries. People never look to the CSG for online retail information, and why should they? When I was first trying to find this information years ago, it didn't make sense to me to scroll thru guides for Italy, Germany, the UK, etc., as if I was planning a sniffing vacation, in order to find info about e-tailers.
I think there needs to be an Online Shopping Discussion board prominently on the front page where everyone can see it, read it, and post to it. I used to think this should be within the CSG, but I've now changed my mind about that given all the sub-forums in the CSG to wade thru, and the fact that it is nicely planned out to be a guide to brick and mortar stores around the world. The amount of activity that is already being generated about online stores in both posts and new threads seems to warrant these discussions having their own board. Plus, again, the proposed OSD needs to be prominent, on the main page. It seems to me moving all these threads all the time has got to be getting tiresome for the mods.
Thanks for reading. I'm feeling vent-y.
Thoughts?
