Board organization

Jon:
Hello! I'm glad to have been invited to this forum. Just a suggestion, after perusing the forum for a while. There are a LOT of top-level topics, so many in fact that it's kind of hard to navigate... too much distribution of topics, imo. Merging many of the topics into less specific boards with topical threads might make them more appealing to visitors. There are so many, honestly I don't know where to post. Keep up the good work!

I always hated that about forums. Especially ones that are slow relatively. Only create subforums when the need arises.

David set it up that way originally, and I've never felt the desire to reorganize it.

In any case, I generally use the "show unread posts" feature, so it doesn't matter where anyone puts a post. It pops up when it occurs to me to sign on.

Jon:
There seems to have been about... 5... posts in a year and a half. I tried your suggestion, John, by clicking the "show unread posts" and there were none. Hence, the structure of the forum comes up again. Excessive structure tends to reduce the number of useful discussions. If there are 100 board topics and 100 posts total on the forum, that's 1:1. It might be helpful to do away with most of the sub-boards. Just a suggestion. I seem to be the only one in the past year who has shown any interest here... Did I miss the memo? :)
