Some of you have been asking about the new links in the upper left hand corner as well as some owners of other Porsche models have been asking for more information from the Cayman site or a site of their own.

Well as of now, if you are in the Registered Users group here and ONLY that group you can see the new site structures by clicking on the links in the upper left corner of the page.

BoxsterBoard.com - Powered by vBulletin for Boxsters

PanameraPit.com - Powered by vBulletin for Panameras

If you are in other user groups here, such as a regional usergroup, or cayman insiders, or site supporters, etc. the new sites will not show up correctly for you yet when you log into those other sites. You can, however, logout and look at them as a visitor and they will show up correctly for the most part.

I know all the links are not established yet and all the add-ons that we have here on the Cayman site are not fully functional yet either, but as I said this is a "preview" of what is to come. If you are a registered usergroup member only I invite you to even make some posts on the new sites. One thing Boxster owners might notice is if they post in the Boxster forum on the Cayman site it shows up on the Boxster site and vice-versa, that's because eventually our forums here will move over there.

In essence we are creating a "family" of sites and aiming for as streamlined of a user experience as possible. We are still in the beta testing stages but hope to have the new sites launched shortly.

Take a look and let me know what you think...

I presume you mean all the Boxster forums here will move over there? The only problem I foresee is that for certain topics, you will be potentially diluting out the responses. For example, say I post a question on the Cayman site about tires, or something which is not necessarily Cayman-specific, I could potentially lose out on comments by members who are only looking at the Boxster board (or vice-versa).

Is it possible to have the option to post a new thread on any, or all 3 of the forums, so that they get more exposure - or have certain categories (e.g. Tires/wheels, competition, etc.) which are common to at least the Boxster and Cayman sites? We have a number of Boxster members who regularly contribute useful info, and I would hate to lose their input, if they are no longer "hanging out" on C.C.

Other than that concern, I like the concept.

Already ahead of you on that one, there will be site specific forums as well as cross-site forums.
