Hi,
As you can see we're 'spring cleaning' the forum. There's a lot of dust on the shelves to be wiped up and with all the frantic activity it's been getting harder and harder to find your way around. In some cases the 'boards', as they are called, overlap each other making it hard to decide where to put something, or even remember where you did put something!
So you know what to expect, the process will go something like this:
1/ Create new framework - Categories & Boards (categories are done already & some boards)
2/ Move currently active threads into new framework
3/ Move inactive threads to archive - NOTE - please check the 'say bye-bye' board from time to time as threads in there are destined for removal and we would not want to remove anything that anyone felt had a critical part to play in developing world peace and harmony! If you don't want something removed just post 'please keep' in the thread and it will be kept in the appropriate place. Not sure yet how long you will have to do this, initially quite a while, later perhaps about a week.
At the beginning this will mean the index page will get bigger (longer) because we will have the old and new boards together. As threads are moved the index will gradually take its new shape with only the new boards to be seen. There are currently around 4,700 threads so this will take some time.
There was also a view that we had lost the primary focus on Poland and things Polish which, whilst not the only reason, is one of the main reasons people visit this place. The reorganisation will try to adjust this.
Lastly. We'd welcome any comments about this generally or specifically on the boards we need, the titles used, etc. We hope what is being done is seen as an improvement.
By the way, my involvement is purely a matter of time available and a certain familiarity with the software from another forum. Jaga can't do everything and there's a lot of people helping in the background.
