Just an idle thoughtJust doing this on the free forum system. Any use here?
This is my own very simplified version of sub forums, designed not to add server load.

i like eclectic mixes rather than sub divisions but sub divisions will suit some circumstances .

Don't like the colour scheme but the idea seems pretty good. Which areas need sub-forums? I know it was mentioned in the "abroad" section but seem to recall mention of it elsewhere too.
Edit: Should've mentioned that I think the "abroad" section is working fine without sub-sections at present. People seem happy with it. /edit

I think sub-fora are not required, rather multi-fora linking, but I know that's not possible with php.

People seem to have enough difficulty posting in the right places anyway, I'm not sure that giving them extra 'wrong' places would help.

Some topics fit well into several fora (Sean; have I declined correctly?), so rather than just being able to see a thread in one forum, you could see the same thread in many.

Not sure if we really need sub fora. In fact we probably would be better off being able to put topics in more than one forum simultaneously but navigation might then become a nightmare.
Or perhaps we should just rearrange everything into two forums; "stuff" and "more stuff"- that should cover most subjects.

i reckon things like the cooking and home brewing could benift from this approach - as would the other forums that have "and " int their name!!
i think it is not so much looking at new posts that benefits from this approach - but it really helps when you want to look for old posts without sorting through too much ..

Yes, but what on earth do they talk about in "The Fish Tank" with their (look away at this point Pricey) Pompey friends

On the whole, I'm opposed to adding specific Southampton FC related sub-fora to Downsizer.
Nor do I think we need sub-fora for anything else at the moment.

Pricey might like it, but then the Liverpool contingent would want one too - where would it all end...........
