(29 May 2016, 6:40 pm)Adrian I agree Jamie. A more email conversation or 'chat like' view would be more beneficial for PM. It may be worth suggesting something on the MyBB community, as I don't believe it can be enabled within a core feature of the software?

No idea whether these ideas would work or not, but it may help fill the shortfall left over following the appeal for donations and the subsequent use of ads on the page.
Sponsored pages - within an operators thread, sponsored links to their webpage.
The benefits of this, are pretty obvious for both parties.
Raffles or competitions - This could be via 'bids' or purchase of virtual tickets and a prize could be offered to the winner.
I have no idea if this contravenes any specific laws/legislation.
Obviously there are a number of people on the forum, who have contacts within various organisations and operators. I am sure a quiet word here and there, could lead to implementation (certainly the first suggestion) and a flow of funds to the site, that may or may not materialise under the current ad campaign.

Provide a switch to the full site on mobile. Sometimes dynamic sites can lack features, even on bigger devices. Having a toggle feature to switch to a static, full version of the site on mobile would certainly improve my experience. The is perhaps the first time I've used my phone outside of tapatalk.
Additional labels for former companies of Stagecoach. Eg. Tyne and Wear PTE, Cleveland Transit, Newcastle Corporation etc.
(29 Aug 2016, 8:03 am)Dan We're currently redeveloping the fleet list section so we can certainly look to implement this too.Yep I noticed Omnidekkas do or certainly did have the NSA speaker symbol next to them and this certainly isn't true!

(30 Aug 2016, 5:52 am)Dan Technically is true.Ah, I often wondered why that's the case. Thanks.
All vehicles in Brighton & Hove's fleet have a Next Stop Announcement system using the internal bus stopping sign.
Go North East could use it for Next Stop Announcements if they so wished but it would be a bit of a laborious task and would be adding a further different system to the mix which isn't ideal... So they aren't used for this purpose.

I've suggested a roads and infrastructure section previously.
The number of posts in the 'Bus Infrastructure' thread (particularly Newcastle Area Developments, Sunderland Area Developments etc) are increasing and usually have nothing to do with bus infrastructure.
So, I wondered if the suggestion was worth picking up again...

(17 Oct 2016, 8:06 pm)Adrian I think it's something worth considering next time we review, which shouldn't be too long away.
(17 Oct 2016, 8:08 pm)Michael That's my fault, for the Sunderland one, maybe it should be moved to a different part of the fourm!

(19 Dec 2016, 11:14 am)RBZ 5459 What ever happened to being credited for photos being used on the site? i.e. within News/Fleetlists.
Just a slight observation, not a gripe.

(19 Dec 2016, 11:30 am)Dan As part of our ongoing updates to the website, we hope to add the Flickr username as credit back in. If this can't be achieved by an automatic process, the photos will link to the source as they did before, to credit the photographer.
