Subject: Break up the General Forum

Hello,
I think that you sould break up the general forum into various sub catagories like Troubleshooting, Engine/Drivetrain, Brakes, Performance etc.. The site gets enough traffic that post don't stay on the current forum page long enough. If you broke it down into sub catagories more posts would get read and searching for threads of any persons paticular interest would be easier. Just a suggestion. You have a great site.
Emery

That is hardly a constructive comment. I just thought it would be nice to actually be able to find what you are looking for and not have to wade through a bunch of other stuff. It would also improve the number of responses to any given question because that question would not get buryied as fast.

we did have a thought of doing that, but turned out that more people would prefer to only monitor a single forum instead of spreading stuff around. If we do then sometimes it is hard to decide which forum to use. Since the search is working well this time around we have decided to keep all of the stuff together. We might increase the number of posts per page in the future.

You know what might be interesting? If we had a pulldown with categories like those sugested, so when you post it was tagged with a certain grouping.

That way a thread could be sorted by topic category even if it was all on the same page. We could also use searches restricting to those categories

Then we could tie in posts -- maybe using the xml (rss?) feed into the faq categories and/or items

The general forum would still look the same, but we'd be able to filter by subject kind of thing

just a thought (and another potential nightmare for mike heh heh)
