I agree navigation on here can be a challenge. You really have to know what you are looking for and know that you had seen it before, after that it is a matter of playing around with the searches. I honestly don't feel it should be that way. I feel like if you wanted to look up Hotel information in Boca Chica or Santo Domingo that you should see current threads or at least updates to those threads so that the next person can easily search the information he needs.
Don Tomas was doing some updates a while ago but I dont believe he got to finish out the plan he had. Personally I don't think it should all fall on one person to have a vision for the site and how the information is presented. His idea was a great one but it seemed as if it was only his vision and he had to finish it out for us to see it. The idea was to have automatic tagging and that way all you really had to do was search through the tags for what you were looking for.
The problem here a lot of the times isn't duplicate threads but sometimes you have information that is current in a TR and there is no thread about it in the section that it belongs in, for example Boca Chica Hotels or Restaurants. That kind of information can only come from members. I feel like somehow it needs to be filtered out and new threads should be created as the information comes along. But that in itself is work and time consuming for whoever has to do it.
I would love to see information more easily available on here. But I guess it is up to us to make it work that way. The original poster of this thread is retired from
ISOC but this board has a good share of guys who are on the ground as well as outside planning their next trip. Seems like something we should be able to do as a collective.
