I just had a suggestion. I was wondering if we could have some kind of directory for forums. That way, members with a site through Zetaboards or InvisionFree could show off their site that they made. You could even have a "Showcase" where the staff can pick a forum that they like and display it. Just a thought.... |

I just created a free online directory where people can submit their site for inclusion into it. There is a section just for forums as well. Maybe people can use something like this to promote and show off their sites? I'd be more than willing to create one just for Zathyus Networks (forums only), if the interest was shown for one! I don't have access to their coding, so I can't automatically put the site's into the system, sorry. |

It'd be even nicer if the powers that be actually fixed the directory we have that's been broken for some 2 and a half years now.. I'm sure there's been time to fix it in that time, I'd love to know the real reason why it isn't fixed yet... |

Hi Sandy, Ultimately the choice often comes between fixing the directory or fixing the board. We have been told the problem with the directory is not a simple fix and it would be resource intensive and time consuming. As such, other areas have been focused on: bugs on boards that must be fixed, improved server performance and security, and development on items that will improve user viewing experience such as the iOS app. This does not mean we do not consider the directory important, but on the list of priorities, it is lower due to time constraints. There has been and continues to be discussion about what to do in the interim. As most of you know, members are free to advertise their board in their introductory topics in our This is... Forum as well as on our Facebook pages. We have discussed creating a forum here just for advertising. But the sticking point is how effective that would be based on our experiences from previous times where we had such a section. Ultimately, the goal of any directory is to give a fair shot for any board to receive attention. Part of the reason the directory stopped being effective was the abuse of the hit system for ranking. So we therefore are concerned about bumping topics and other spam related activities. We have noticed as much on the Facebook pages. We are very aware of the inconvenience caused by the directory's current state and we regret that we do not have better news at the moment. Be assured that it is something we are very concerned about as well and we hope to have some type of resolution, even if it is a temporary one, soon. |

A fix has been applied to the directory, but please realize this fix is still being tested and some bugs have been found by the staff. Because of this, we did not make an announcement. So for the moment, we do not consider this issue fully resolved. Brandon is aware of the quirks the staff reported and he is working on addressing them. We appreciate your patience while he completes this work. |

I am very enthusiastic about the directory being fixed. I am sure that once that can happen zetaboards will have a rise in popularity as people can search their interests and then join the forum ![]() Looking forward to fixing the directory. It has not worked for years T_T |
