I find this forum extremely helpful and useful, but, I must admit, it is a bit difficult for me to follow. I belong to several online forums and they all use a very friendly format (here is one example: https://forum.woodcarvingillustrated.com). The forums are usually divided up into numerous sections, that can include subsections, and topics are posted in each. Each response to a posted topic appears immediately below without the need to lose the main topic.

The person who owns the discussion forum can appoint other trusted members to be moderators with various permissions to help moderate the forum and keep it running smoothly, so that all of the work is not left up to the one owner. Each member also has their own profile page
It sounds more complex than it really is.

Anyway, I was wondering if there might be any interest in switching to such a format. They are available for free and have additional paid options. I would be willing to set up a sample board for people to visit to see if they would like such a format. All of the past posting here can either be left here and be referenced by a link at the new forum or I could undertake the task of organizing them on the new forum.

For example, each type of weaving technique could have its own section. Then subsections that discuss pricing, tools, techniques &c. Photos can be uploaded right to the forum. Videos can be inserted wight into posts. It's really quite nice.

I would love to hear your feedback.
