rockjunquie To get the most information, take a poll with of choices taken from the Home Page. RTHlings could check off as many as applied. This might help Tommy in setting up new sections. Could add: What new sections would you like added? After this one is over, I can come up with something else in Welcome section and let it run indefinitely. (If you can do that.) That will let newcomers add their preferences, too. I ran this primarily because it seems that the majority either cab, tumble or both. But, I certainly want to add in the rest, too. ETA- I don't think the simple poll will let you have more than one pick. Makes it a little more difficult to answer. I'll have to check into that. ETA again- It looks like I can let people pick more than one and that it can run indefinitely.

Could add: What new sections would you like added? Maybe one new section could be just new "polls" . Oh an I would really like to see a section with links to all of you talented peoples Etsy pages, websites, blogs etc!!! I wouldn't look at it as trying to sell or promote ones self (wouldn't want to get in the way of the original reason this forum was built) but rather a deeper knowledge base of friends and their many talents!

Could add: What new sections would you like added? Pat, I don't know how to set up an open ended poll with the question of what new section to add, so I will start a new post in the welcome section asking just that. How does that sound? Anything else to add to it?

Thanks Tela, I'll have to go through the original Proboard site then. My Tapatalk app doesn't show it.

This may have been discussed above. A question to members regarding what they like to do with their rocks.
Could be a surprise. A large percentage may say display, or photographing them, sharing them, selling them, or who knows what else. The members represent the population, hard to pick categories that please the population lest you ask them.
Me for example, favor collecting rocks and (oddly)experimenting with abrasives.

That's a perfect post for my new thread in the welcome section. Go ahead and post that here. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/77569/new-sections-forum

For me, I love going out in nature to find rocks and minerals, and I like how every rock and mineral is unique. I also like how each locality offers different minerals.

I clicked on tumbler and cabber. The tumblers run all year around, and I am always turning out cabachons. I also run several large saws, so technically can be considered a slabber. The rejected material due to fracturing, end cuts, and broken slabs are what is going into my tumblers.

Too bad only 66 responded. Surprised cabs came in first. I thought tumbling would be first by a large margin.
Please try it again when Tommy takes over.
