Forum nesting change

[glen_h]

I notice the change in the way forums are nested.

There is now an additional nesting level.

I suppose this is fine, but I think I like the old way better.

It was less work to get to the different forums.

 

thanks.

Thanks!  Changes will proceed for a bit, as long as resources remain, but there are a bunch of things that could be done on the previous platform but not on this one.  Appreciate and will forward input.

The nesting of equipment forums needs work.

 

In the hierarchy there are the following (wrong) implied assumptions:

• mirrorless cameras aren't modern  (they are)
• medium format cameras can't be digital, autofocus or modern (they can be)
• Leica does not make modern autofocus cameras (they do)
• Sony, Minolta, Fuji only exist in mirrorless (Minolta and Sony made both film and digital SLRs, and Fuji made film rangefinder cameras)
• Nikon, Canon, Olympus do not make mirrorless digital cameras
• Canon FD is "modern"

It just doesn't work at all the way it is laid out at the moment.

We don't seem to be in Kansas anymore... 🤩

The main category listings seem more organized now, and some things are in a better order and the titles are clearer.  It looks a lot better and with the nested boards is a lot easier for me to navigate on my smartphone.  The top boards are still open for general posting--and the latest post in any sub-board appears on that page.  This is what happens when you click on Digital Darkroom whatever board:

 

 

Sweet!  Our board categories were always pretty generalized with a few specialty "name brand" boards.  Trouble is that everything and everything got tossed in them.  I agree that the current layout has some flaws.  But what I am also seeing is that admin is responding pretty quickly to comments, suggestions, and problems.  Let's continue to make suggestions and see if anything productive happens!
