Strider Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I have IPB and not many use it, is there a way to get pilots to use the forum? If so what is it? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators simpilot Posted December 27, 2013 Administrators Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I use an auto register and login api for the forum and put all downloads, or at least the links to them, in the forum. That at least gets one visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I use ip.downloads as mva's download center. I have set it to you have to login to view the forum, no account must register one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators simpilot Posted December 27, 2013 Administrators Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Don't know what to tell you then, if they are not logging in to get the downloads at least then they are not very interested in anything else I guess.

magicflyer Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Well, Here's an untested tip: Try to move most of the Virtual airline pilot-staff communications over to the forums. If there is a virtual airline news put it on there. Also, give pilots an award for most posts this month or something similar. That, however, doesn't match the traffic you'll get if you actually put out a small giveaway over at the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone any tips on how to get it to work with phpvms? The SSI is junk. You have to use IP Content. Thats how I did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
