cannabis.com Local forums

they have been up a long while now but hardly anyone posts there i think the reason for this could be tht on the main page it doesnt show u the latest thread/posts it looks as if no one has ever posted there at all could this not be sorted out and then maybe people would use them more.

Yes, that's definitely a problem ... a fix has been proposed, but not yet programmed.

The proposed fix would involve displaying the local forum(s) that correspond to the location in a user's profile - ie. a user who lists their location, say as Wyomissing, PA would see the Pennsylvania local on the front page.

The challenging part is determining how to read and parse the Location field, since it's a "free form" field and folks can enter their location in various different ways, and how to display the correct forum(s) on the fly in an efficient manner.

Thank you for your comments ... greatly appreciated

yea sounds good ron the only way i can think of to get round the "free form" field of entering their locations is have a list where u select your location from. the thing is it would be one very long list. thanks for getting back on this and letting us know what is being done to resolve it

That is a good idea, but even with local one people probably wont get together or anything in case its the po

After some tinkering around, it's finally working. Folks can now customize the local forum shown towards the top of the main page...

To do this, simply click back to the message boards home page http://boards.cannabis.com/ and then click the link "Click here to set your CANNABIS.COM Local forum." ... this links to the Edit Profile menu - scroll to the bottom and select the local forum of your choice and click save.

Thanks for the increased funtionality,thanks for puttin up with this here ornery Texan for so many years.

Thanks again,for puttin up with me and thanks for having and maintaining two valuable sites for us to gather, learn and discuss the issues pertaining to the one cause that we all stand united for-the legalization of hemp and marijuana..the former for food,fuel,fiber,medicine and the latter for medicine and recreation-that provides a safe alternative to alcohol.

Have a good one ... Torog
