I think we have to many topics and subtopics and different sections. If we made everything a bit more generalized and cutting back and removing some of the older material, I think it would help people find discussions that they are interested in and increase discussion as there is less to look through.

i think the main used function is 'View Active Topics'

Some people may go to some sub forums if they are interested in them, Or if for a new post they are going to make.

One or two things could be dropped from the user forum its not used alot of the subtopics i believe

Do you have any specific suggestions in mind for sections to be merged?



I've virtually never used the 'View Active Topics' function.

The VAT link needs to be made 100% larger and everything else made 100% smaller.

VAT is by far the most useful feature on the forums and the only way I keep track of topics.

VAT is my homepage

I only use view new posts myself.

I think most of the stickies or almost all should be removed and a separate FAQ thread which links to different parts of the thread for instructions.

Also I think we should remove some of the forums and just leave it to general banter. I think there should be no sub-forums and if the topics are that important they should be brought to the general forum viewing page.

With no sub-forums .

A whole new forum browsing method will be coming soon. Watch this space, I'm sure you will all like what's coming soon.

This sounds good

I agree that the index maybe needs to be cut down a bit, though it's hard to see what should go and what should stay.

We are definitely thinking of reorganising the forums a lot soon, to make it tidy and easier to navigate.
