How can the forum be improved - your ideas are needed!

I am not real sure what you are asking us to do here wuzneme. If you think that a story about a Texas treasure posted in Legendary Treasure should be cut and paste to Texas I see that as a counterproductive move info would be lost between the different threads.

 "sources/reference"

Lots of times when a legend is posted no source is given because the story has been printed in dozens of books and mag's that its imposable to know the original source. Plus some of us are not willing to give up our sources.

	as an example, since it`s literally right on my doorstep, and doubt anyone here knows about it, but it may be of use if someone was researching something specific, since it`s ment to be one of the oldest private libraries  1687 and is open to public You are not allowed to view links.

This forum can never be like this. Because it's a forum. If you want to start a database, be advised that Wiki has free database pages for you or anyone to start a free form database of any size. Forums cannot do that. At best, a working search function is the best you can hope for. The database structure is set up to allow linking to topics and users. To split that into a free form data structure would make linking of threads and subjects absolutely impossible. Then it's no longer a forum.

Your wish could someday come true but at present, the structure of MySQL won't allow it. Ask again in 10 or 12 years.

Hi,

Since am digging myself into a wee hole here, perhaps i best rephrase my wording a little better.

example; random state - within that state topic board- 1. topic titled libraries, archives , media & misc, (for links or even addresses) 
                                                                            2. maps

so eventually each state has its has it`s own compiled "general" where to go to for what ever it is you are seeking.

I would never suggest an idea of giving up your own personal hard earned sources, but the main stream state libraries and the likes well thats just general guidance.

pencil me in sir

i hope that helps clarify whats rattling around in my grey matter, perhaps my wording and phrasing was wrong with the likes of one big database, but as mentioned above, it sorta fits in with what is already here, just bumping up the level of interest in each state, and for those, like myself who knows little of the states it`s a good go to for a starting point.

Anyway, thats my tuppenceworth idea, thanks all for responding.

Hi , well heres what i think as a new member and not so great with the computer. If you could it would be easier for me being new if the forms would be out were i can see them right now i just  stumble around alot, and if possible some direction as to where newbie go for what subject. My postings get move for being in wrong space but that just makes thing harder to use sight. The info is great when i can find the right spot and everyone is real good about giving good anwsers so thanks alot happy hunting
