Subforum under LC forum

Monica,

We have so many threads marked as "sticky" (one for each regional office and almost 20 more for individual SESA) that they are always on the top and new thread gets very limited exposure. I always get PM from user to stick more threads and I think it’s better to move them in sub-forum rather then marking them as “sticky”

I know you guy's want user to use tracker created by immigration.com but unfortunately that's not happening.

Can we create a sub-forum (i.e the way we have in I-485 forum) under LC forum to manage all tracker(s)?

Thanks in Advance.

Also, I will really appreciate if you could add "Unrelated Threads" along with "Trackers" sub-forum under LC forum.

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks Usnycus

Good suggestion moderator.
I have created separate subforums for SWA and USDOL and moved the related threads to these sub-forums. I have also created the "unrelated threads" subforum for Labor Cert. Please look at the above and let me know if any changes are required.

Thanks
 
The usual practice in the CSC 485 forum is to have one thread marked "IMPORTANT THREADS" as sticky and closed. That way only the moderator can post new messages which contain links to threads that are useful to everyone.

With regards to requests for Sticky threads, we usually allow threads to remain on top only for a limited period of time. And never more than 3-4 threads marked thus. In my opinion people rarely go to the sub forums, and the ones we have on CSC 485 are rarely used. Whereas this system works much better all around.
 
Monica,

Thanks for making all the changes in LC Forum.

Looks great & we’ll update you after getting feedback from member(s). Also just to let you know, getting "Server Busy" a lot lately.

Any thought?

Regards,
usnycus

hi

I have made some changes in the forum software settings. Please let me know if you see the "server busy" message again.



thanks
 
Monica/Rajiv,

Again: Getting "Server Busy" a lot lately. Any thoughts...

Also, Due to changes in procedure/policy by DOL, we have members creating threads not related to DOL or SESA (like on BEC or Perm) in the Sub-Forum. Can we:

a) Restrict users from creating threads in Sub-Forum, and only allow moderator to have that functionality

OR

b) Create two more sub-forums under LC forum (i.e. BEC & PERM) so that threads can be moved to the appropriate section.

Regards
usnycus.
 
Let me have Monica look at these issues

Monica, please comment. Let us put in an additional server if that could solve the problem. Check with the SW support people. I know forums can take on the load of twice what we have now (with proper tweaking and additional HW). Also, let us change/add the forums as requested.

Thanks for the suggestions moderator. I have created the sub-forums you requested. I am looking into the speed of the forums. We will try to resolve this ASAP.

Thanks for making changes in the LC Forum....

But I think we should be OK with just one sub-forum for all BEC related issue/thread. If you agree, kindly remove following two sub-forums:

a) Dallas Backlog Elimination Center
b) Philadelphia Backlog Elimination Center
