Changes to the boards - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

For some time now I've been meaning to make some changes to the boards to make them easier to use and simpler to navigate.

This is not least because we had so many specialist boards that new threads were being posted all over the place.

There are further changes to come, not least to integrate with the style on the front end.

However, in the meantime:

- I've cut down the number boards
- Moved posts to correct areas (mostly!)
- renamed a few boards
- minimised display so it's easy as anything to find the right section to post
- change "Other sports chat" to "Sports chat" and will allow football discussion again

The general idea is to try and mimick how the front end is set up to some degree.

I appreciate it will look a little confusing at first - however, there are further changes which aim to make things easier, but generally it's about setting up a new structure and making everything much easier to surf through.

Anyway, feel free to fire away with comments, etc.

The classified sections were accessible, but not visible for some reason.

Assume it was a gaff by brian, and I have fixed it (I think), should be visible now.

Yep, some of the boards might be hard to spot at first, but the football section is "Sports chat" in the "Other" section.
