My moon is accepted and I need to move it.
Question 1: Should I move it to the Javos page or should I move it to the Map/Locations/Board like Mist Haven?
Question 2: Should I post it as is. Should I break it down sort of like Javos. Moon.. then separate board/post of animals and another for plants and another for the tech etc.. ?
Question 3: Should we have a planet/moon app and or structure so they all are the same in looks. The How to looks can be for a later poll.
It should be Planets/Moons in the poll but I don't know how to edit a poll

My thoughts... please use the like feature to agree, quote me to make amendments otherwise maybe? lol
- Moons for any planet should be a thread unless it becomes a prominent possibility for RP
- I believe the threads should have the core information at the top and replies for things like animals, cultures etc in greater detail.
- I think there is an instruction on the Player Tips page (go through Guidelines to find it) how to link to each post for a Table of Contents etc
- I don't think players should have to necessarily apply to add moon stuff or the like, but they should use the Creation/Concept vote box

I like Remmy's suggestion with a clarification: On the basic info thread with the moon's main intel, I think the plants and animals that are exclusive to the moon/planet should be listed there in replies (one to three per reply) with plants or animals that originated elsewhere, listed, but linked to the thread/reply of whereever they are native. Does that make sense?

I see you posted and broke them up in the threads under Javos but not as has been voted so far (though I wish more than just Remmy and I voted) and I'm not sure if that's because of misunderstanding or how you wanted to do it first to make it easier to do later? -tries to be helpful, asks clarifying question before diving in-

Mostly because what is suggested of me is not what has been done on the board. I'm asked to do 3-5 pics of stuff in multiple replies. Midway Station is not set up that way. Javos has Basic info then animals as individual posts to the board not replies. So I made it to the point that I had seen done on the MB. I like a common look and followed the examples previously done. I guess I do not see the need for multiple replies to add more. You're still going to have to scroll. With the sigs you're going to have to scroll more. So all in one spot I thought was the best form and even shrank the images. I've been thinking of making it so they're all square sized and small sort of like the roster , but instead if you wish to see it bigger you click the pick, not go to a whole differnt page. As for Remmy " I think there is an instruction on the Player Tips page (go through Guidelines to find it) how to link to each post for a Table of Contents etc " I thought she meant the links as a table of context. Like she has done on her S13 postings. I apoligize if I misunderstood that.

err, our B for not being more clear because this is the only non-hot-hub moon up so far. My understanding was like this:
Currently, the glossary is the part that explains that both Verdona and Wingos are found elsewhere since we don't have running contents on any of the other planets/moons.
Seeing the way you did it, I am not opposed to (because it seems easy enough to read/understand) besides sincerely asking (and apologizing) for multiple replies for as many animals and plants as you list. It not only takes a long time to load, but messes up my reading when more than one picture in a long string on a single reply didn't load until I'm reading and the page jumps to accommodate their size and I loose my place every time. 3(maybe 5 if the descriptions aren't long) per reply (or your clickable thumbnail idea) helps not have so many pictures to load on a single page and lessens this loading-pagejumping issue. (am I the only one who has that? if so I will shut up).
either way, I still wish other folks would chime in so I don't feel like a boardmonger or something...

At this time I am slowly defining the animals better. As I do, since they are grouped in 5's as is, I will do replies to the Da'goh post by category. Aka .. Animals: Forest. As I fill them in I will remove the full Animal Post. Unless word gets out more people want it all listed in a single post or something. I'll stick to the 3-5 per post as requested previously.

My feeling is that moons probably should stay as a branch off of the planet they're orbiting for organizational purposes. If they become heavy roleplay locations then maybe they can be listed as a primary subcategory for that planet.

I was avoiding replying because I already feel like people think my opinion matters too much or whatever. And I honestly have run out of explaining myself/my thoughts/my intent. So I decided I don't care how he does it, it's not worth me getting irritated over something that probably doesn't matter to anyone else as much as it does in my head.
The only thing I ask is that you make sure all independent threads for Da'goh have that name as the very first part of the subject line so they know what moon that info belongs to without having to click into it to see.
