the front of our website is undergoing some changes

An upgraded publishing system with quicker load times is a must. Also we want to be more informative and this includes a FAQ section on the main site.

What are your suggestions of questions and answers that need to be addressed there?

cgilmo · Dec 19, 2009

any suggestions from members?

Are you referring to a Q&A for the message boards or the entire site in general?

the entire site

What is FCB is a serious question

blanning71 · Dec 19, 2009

What is FCB?

What does FCB offer over any other sports card related site?

What services does FCB offer me as a collector/casual hobbyist?

Are there any fees associated with being on FCB?

Where can I interact with other FCB members on the site?

Are there any rules/regulations regarding being on the site?

Who do I contact if I need help browsing the site/interacting with other members?

I would also highlight the trading posts and especially the feedback system, which seems to be much better than similar ones on other sites.

Scratch that, I missed everything at the top. Nothing to see here.

that's a problem, as you said.

What CMS are you using for the mainsite and the blog?

You definitely need to implement a caching system. Obviously not for the boards, but the two "blogs" would benefit from it greatly.

Maybe you're using one, who knows.

On the left where it says 'Advertize with FCB' shouldn't that be advertise?

Not a big deal, just pointing it out since that deals directly with sponsorship.

Were you using wp-super-cache? or whatever they called it. For the most part, it seems like like it does a dandy job serving html/php rather than querying the db.

Out of curiousity, what db calls are you running outside of the basic ones? I also don't know if pagination speeds up the DB calls -- I can only assume it will.

you are thinking too hard

the out of the box version works just fine, and will do just fine with little to no heavy alteration.

Well yah, but saving time by telling wordpress to just execute and cache the results of the php and database calls, will save even low-traffic websites time.

I thought you were having speed issues and figured I'd go with the standard recommendation.
