Forum order

Can the forums be re-ordered so that the Army Builder datafile forums are sub-forums of the main AB program forum? Or maybe vice versa?
Because making them more prominently attached to the main AB forum seems like the only way to slow down the number of "where's my datafile?" type posts in the main forum.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mr_Rose. I've moved the Army Builder data file forums closer to the main AB forum - we'll see if this helps people find the appropriate forums.

Whee, that looks a lot better, and I can almost get the whole set of AB forums onto one screen without scrolling now. neat.

Related suggestion: Apparently the subtitle under the AB main forum telling people not to discuss bugs is confusing people as to what should be there or not. Pls consider making it more explicit, like "PROGRAM FUNCTION DISCUSSION ONLY: DATAFILE CONTENT DISCUSSION BELOW" or similar.

I think it's already pretty clear about that, isn't it? I'm not sure if rewording it will stop people posting bugs in data files in the forum, since they clearly haven't read the text as it is.

Well we've got at least one person who did read it as it is now and understood it to mean that only bugs and bug reports were verboten in the main program discussion. over in the Warhammer forum.

Can you link me to the post?

Mr_Rose · September 24th, 2011, 04:58 PM

Here.
He said that after I asked the last guy who mis-posted what they thought the sentence meant.

Colen · September 24th, 2011, 05:30 PM

Ah, I see. I suspect that he simply didn't see it, but it's possible that he misinterpreted this as something that wasn't a bug, so was ok for discussion. I've updated the text appropriately - thanks.

No problem.
