Title: Sub-forums updates
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 14, 2010, 11:29:53 pm
As mentionned in the previous news, there will be some site updates for a while. Last night and today, the first update involved changes in the sub-forums order on the board index:

-The Members-Only section was removed and its content was moved in the community one, except the TI game walkthroughs sub-forum, which was moved with the other calculator-related sub-forums.
-Some sections merged together. The Starcraft one merged with Gaming and the Featured Calc RPG Projects merged with Major TI Community Projects.
-The Gaming and Anime/Mangas boards are now visible to guests.
-Those last two sections as well as Randomness and Miscellaneous Talk are now sub-forums of the new Random Discussion one.
-The two Dutch sub-forums as well as the other language ones were removed completly.
-The front page discussion area was updated to accomodate those changes.

This was done in attempt to put more focus on calculator-related discussion as well as development and creation as well as reducing the amount of sub-forums that appears on the board index, especially the non-calc-related section and the members-only one. Also in the international section, only the french ones were used, despite our increasing amount of dutch users, so it made no sense to keep the rest.

I like all of the changes- I'm glad the Members Only section was removed and the forums there merged with the other sections, as that's definitely streamlined the index. One thing, though- the Major Community Projects section still says this:

Quote
Some of the best non-RPG calculator projects from our users, all with their own sub-forum.

With the merge of the Major RPG projects, this text probably should be changed.

Woops, I remembered that last night before falling asleep, but I totally forgot again. Thanks for reminding me ;D

Also, for forum admins, the member-only section was really huge, because not only did it show the sub-forums, but it also showed the one that only guests see. On top of that, admins have an additional set of sub-forum below the old forum archive one.
