Subforums

[Gerard]

Yeah I'm just experimenting a little. Since all the subforums were fairly large now I thought they might be better if they were all visible on the main page. We'll see how it goes anyway. If people prefered it how it was before then they will make a topic in the forum and complain about it

Well I much preferred the subforums arranged how they used to be - with all the general chat subforums inside the one "general discussion" category. Having every subforum out in the open is too cluttered, and makes things harder to find.

Previously I could just scroll down until I saw the list of subforums inside General Discussion, just read that list and pick one. Now I have to actually read all the labels and re-scroll until I find the right one. Just a bit more awkward with no benefit.

Also to point out that this is topic 9186 - we're near "10k topics posted ever".

The forum is growing too fast for us too keep everything tucked away in that subforum. One of the reasons they aren't in a subforum is to make things easier to find, it's one less forum to click, saves people time trying to find a topic. The latest post by bit was frequently overridden by having someone else post in one of the other subforums. People would have no idea your topic existed unless they went into that subforum.

I personally hate it when forums I visit have everything tucked away in subforums. I want all the information presented to me at once.

Don't think you'll see many big forums using a single subforum for many other forums inside.

I was just wondering why almost everyday there is something re-arranged. >.> I keep getting confused because I sub-conciously use scroll distance/number of forums down to know where I'm going, so I end up in wrong forums or wondering where the other forum went.

To tell you do truth, It makes the whole Forum bigger, and makes it more longer to scroll down to the bottom of the page.

And it might get harder to get use to, especially with the scrolling down and the forum re-arrangements.

But we are no longer a small forum. The whole thing just works out better. We need to trial it for a while longer anyway IMO, at least so we get somewhat used to it.

Yeah, I like it this way too.

I liked the subs to and it's way easier. Chris has a point but still, for me sub's make me do everything easier instead of the catogory what we have now.

I quite like it now Ive gotten used to it. Before it seemed wierd but now I quite like it. Its eaiser

[Ciaran]

I think that it is easier now, at first I thought wtf! but now it is alright.

[Wheelman101]

having sub forums makes it clean'r looking but harder to find the topic your looking for,
