Thank you for organizing this @DexterB

 

[webster1234]

Yes, great way to put it all together. I had no idea all of that was here. Can you make that a sticky too?

Thanks.
So - this is a sticky itself. What content specifically did you want stickied?

I said that somewhat jokingly as it was a nice synopsis of what is available in one place, kind of like the index in the 300 page owners manual for my stereo receiver. I always refer to the index first. Truthfully, being new here, I just need to start clicking and exploring what is available. But your write up DID provide a good reference, for instance; what was available on the you tube channel. And the "useful links" tab....never thought to click there...Lots of good links. I'm slowly learning my way around.

Lol!
Good to know. Glad you are enjoying the Forum!

Excellent @DexterB . I personally believe that the internet and forums in general have a great opportunity to act as a global point of reference.

If I where to make one request. Would it be possible to have a section on the main header menu, suitably titled, where all of the "reference" material is held under sub sections. Not for discussion and only edited by those qualified. Similar to an encyclopaedia, or the articles that I used to love reading in Reef Alchemist or Advanced Aquarist. These articles could include the text, diagrams and video all in the same article. If there is already such a resource on this forum, I just don't seem to see an obvious menu title.

Looking through the membership list I can see you certainly have some very well qualified members to cover a wide range of topics. Including the excellent resource of the professional research that @Humblefish has collated himself.

This would be more of a database of information. I see this type of approach on a number of the European forums, especially the French ones I frequently visit.

One of my big concerns with the hobby is a perception I have, that many do not want to read books or articles. Forums by definition are fine resources for discussion, although many use forums to find answers or advice (sometimes in an emergency situation) rather than to discuss.

Happy New Year 'Dexter'

That is something that would be nice to do in the future, but it's a pretty big undertaking. It's on the radar, though.

I don’t think this is good. I like the ability to add to a thread. The OP can update the first post as needed.

What’s wrong with the way things currently are set?

I don’t think this forum is a “type it and have nobody be able to reply” kind of forum like the others.

It's not an either/or thing, both options would exist. There would still be threads and the ability to discuss, but then there would be a section would be like a reefing Wikipedia, basically. It would still have to be kept up to date with any changes made in the corresponding thread. It's a pretty heavy lift from a creation and maintenance perspective, which is why it's not really a priority, but it is something that's on the radar.

My 2 cents is if the theory is worth it’s weight, it will survive someone questioning it, or the other questions/comments below will help

take for instance your H2O2 thread. That one is huge and I think is awesome with everyone’s questions/feedback.

I really dislike stickies that nobody can add their experience to. I do not think a handful of people have the answers to reefing issues. I think we all do.

Again, just my opinion…

Hi 'smsreef' I think I maybe did not explain my request well enough. I agree a forum by definition is somewhere to meet, discuss, debate. The vast majority of any forum is dedicated to such a resource.

I am suggesting a separate area, dedicated to reference.

Its not my suggestion, that something is wrong and I apologise if that was your perception. I simply wish to suggest a possible addition.

I think you misunderstand. For every reference article, there would still be a corresponding thread. The article would get updated as needed based on discussion in the thread, it's just that the articles are kept in a separate, linkable Wikipedia-type section. Much like the current humble.fish landing page, but updated.

I get what you're saying, and it is something we've talked about doing in the future. I just don't know when.

I don't understand why you would think that a 'separate' section or header would have any detrimental effect on what you have highlighted above. Its not one or the other, its choice.

I of course understand the technical implications. However the initial post by Dexter B already has a good example of such a directory "HUMBLEFISH YOUTUBE VIDEOS" My suggestion would be to group each of the videos with the relevant written article.

I suppose it’s a choice depending on how it’s rolled out. But I’m just going on past expeience on other forums where it was not a choice.

I actually had that in mind when doing the latest vids on parasites + worms: https://www.youtube.com/c/HumblefishReef/videos

I just haven't gotten around to integrating the videos into the stickies yet.

Think of it as more of a repository of the information already contained in stickies, but in one easily navigable space. Each article would contain a link to the corresponding thread that spawned the article, which is where you'd go if you wanted to discuss the information in the article, and the article would be kept up to date to match the OP of the corresponding thread. It would be meant as a supplemental resource, not as a replacement for threads and discussions.

Why would this be better than OP updating the first post?
