amazing job so far, i like the general direction NBT is headed for, especially since I get the feeling that the overall atmosphere is really beginning to remind me of NBR (which is a good thing!).

keep it up boys 😁

Is it OK if I send requests to the mods to add / clean up tags on existing threads?  I'm looking at the Precision subforum in particular.  I did just go add tags to threads that I started, and I'd like to use a consistent format for applying the model names to different topics so that you can just click on a tag and get a list of threads that apply to that system.  There's some inconsistency ("precision m6800" vs. "dell precision m6800") and also a number of threads with no tags.

 

NBRCHIVE & data transfer:

I'll apologize for not spending more time on getting this tidied up.  I do intend to make a more presentable list of threads, and I also want to build a proper sitemap so that search engines can build out the index more quickly.  It'll probably be some weeks yet before I have time to work on those aspects, and there are a number of more minor "quality of life" improvements that need to be made as well.

 

If anyone would like direct access to the files to facilitate a transfer of information to this forum, reach out to me via PM and I'll get you set up with SFTP access.  A condition for now will be that you have something of a reputation here already and that you agree to not repost the archive in its entirety elsewhere.  (I do plan to open the archive up for more easy "full dumping" in the future, so that the archive can persist in the event that something happens to me or my ability to host it; I'd just like to have it in a more cleaned up state first.)

 

I would say, we should generally treat both NBR and NBT content as "owned" by the user who created it (even though I guess that NBR content is technically "owned" by TechTarget).  if you are transferring over a guide or something that was written by a member who has joined on NBT, I think you should reach out to them first and see if they would like to repost it here under their name before you go and do it.

Since we dont have to answer to any corporate entity we can facilitate continued growth of the community and try some things that we think would be a net positive in terms of assets by and for the community.

Are you unable to modify tags of existing threads that you have made? If not we can set up a time and carry this out.

 

I also second that any content needs to be cited if they arent members on this forum and if they are, to request the member in question to repost the OP with a link to the specific thread from the NBRchive. 

 

Sometimes its best to take some time off from the grind, I certainly have done so to varying degrees to work on some personal issues in my own life.

I can modify tags on threads that I have made.  I was referring to threads that other users have made.  I'd like to have some consistency with tags on each thread at least as far as to which systems the thread applies to.

maybe u can imbue a mod with the option to adjust tags. also, how about a dropdown list of already utilized tags to ensure a universal formatting standard of future tags? that way ull also save cleanup time.

I noticed that if you start typing in the tag field, it will give you some suggestions of previously used tags.  Not a drop-down but hopefully close enough as the tag list will be huge.

 

(I imagine that mods are already able to edit tags.  You just have to edit the top post of a thread to get access to the screen to do it.)

[Reciever]

This is correct, previously used tags will populate as suggestions :)
