Navigation Structure at HotAirBalloonist.com

The MAIN (or Forums) page is where you will find all the Category's

Here is a description of the different levels in the Forum

We have Category’s > Sub-Category's > Forums > Topics.

 

Category:

A "Category" is a basic area of conversation or information. 

For Example “Equipment Sales”.  Equipment Sales would be a Category.

 

Sub-Category:

There are lots of types of "Equipment" for sale in the Balloon world so inside the Category “Equipment Sales” you may have several other “Sub Categories” like Baskets or Burners or Full Systems and so on. So "Full Systems" would be the "Sub Category" inside the category Equipment Sales

 

For example. “Equipment Sales > Full Systems

This would be  "Category > Sub Category

 

Forums:

Forums are found inside the Sub Category’s like “69K or less or 70K to 90K and so on.  These would be specific forums that members would create topics of disscussion inside. The "69K or less" is the "Forum."

 

For example. “Equipment Sales > Full Systems > 69k or less. 

This would be  "Category > Sub Category > Forum"

 

 

Topics:

 Inside the “Forum” is where you find the “Topics.”  There is no limit on how many “Topics” can be inside a Forum.  If you had a balloon for sale and it was an Aerostar Aurora 54 you might create a topic called Aerostar 54 Mint.

The “Aerostar 54 Mint” would be the “Topic.”

 

“Equipment Sales > Full Systems > 69Kor less > Aerostar 54 Mint”

      This would be  "Category > Sub Category > Forum > Topic"

 

Topics are written by the Members of HotAirBalloonist.com.

In this case the ”Topic” would be the actual balloons the members would have for sale.  Each “Topic” can be replied to by other members asking questions or making offers to purchase. 

All “Topics” are created and controlled by the member who made the topic in the first place.  So when you list a balloon for sale you have the ability to alter the topic or add content to the topic or even remove the topic when the balloon is sold.

 

Please keep in mind that anyone who visits HotAirBalloonist.com can see your topic.

The general public who are not members of HotAirBalloonist.com can view all of your information.  Only Members can Reply or ask questions about your topic.  So include your contact information like phone or email in the topic you create so everyone can get in touch with you.

 

Also remember the FOLLOW THIS feature!Follow1.jpg

Any time you post a topic or make a reply to a topic you can click the little box FOLLOW and when someone else posts a topic or a reply you will get an instant email telling you there is new information about the topic you are interested in.  You can follow entire categories, topics, events, reply's, files, just about anything on the site.
