Is it just me or have we gone forum catagory crazy?

It's made daily browsing of the forum very difficult.

Just my 2 cents.

 

Seems fine for me.

I like what they did with the classifieds now I can find parts easier.

 

That's what searching is for.

What about being able to browse everything for sale if you're not looking for a particular part?

 

Well, as you know the search isn't very good, so i'm glad it's categorizied.

Looking for parts when you aren't looking for a paticular part will only get you in debt.

 

There are so many categories now, if I don't see something worth reading on the first few pages of "NEW", I'll never see it.

After some much thought and playing around with some other boards and the new VBulletin software I'm going to simplify the site

IE Body Interior Exterior Lighting and the subforums within will all just become one.

Seems a lot of peoples attention span is short and they hate to go through the subs so they just post in the main. (I'll admit I'm one of them) However, It doesnt happen on all boards but some.

And seeming how posts get moved and redirects stay it only clutters the boards more end result making it harder for the end users to see what they want to see.

When I created a lot of the subforums it was to improve the abilty to find, get info and less clutter the boards. But actually it made it worse. With the exception of a few, like the classifieds.

With the newer version of VBulletin the Search feature is more prominently displayed and does a better search function making it actually easier to find data. So there isnt really a need for some of the extra boards.

I will be doing this in liu of getting the new server ready.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you guys and girls no so if data gets moved around you will know why.

BTW the new server is Rockin fast

 

Put everything on the same page.
By the time I get into one sub-forum I get so sidetracked that I forget to go back and read something I wanted to. That's why I end up on the site for like...6 hours at a time ...trying to read EVERYTHING new. LOL

 

Eliminating all the sub forums and having all the forums on the front page seems to be the best format for quick browsing. Something like...

General 350Z
General performance
Forced induction
Suspension & wheels
General tech
etc, etc.
