Not all of the separate support forums, but I could see adding a "Support Forums" link up there, with the actual support forums listed as child boards when the user clicks through.

It would be nice to have them up there, perhaps in a smaller font all in one line?
Or is the list not that configurable?

How about four columns of three for the 'main forums', then an empty line and then the rest.  Something like

Quote
main                    software                  monitor/video              Audio/juke/mp3
proj annc              artwork                     consoles                         B/S/T
Arc Misc                 EE                       Board Disc                    Hardware rev

Dos/wincab             PowerMame                SK Juke                      UncleT Juke
Proj arcade

No offense to the Proj Arcade forum, but it's not exactly the most popularly traversed

Dont like it..

You need to line up the columns better or add more forums like a "Control Panel" discussion.   ;D

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

-S
Stingray you magnificent bastard!
This place is dead lately.  Stingray scare everyone off?

Ah, now I see what everybody's talking about. When I log out it shows the support forums, because I guess they're not listed on the top of the 'Uncensored' theme yet. And here I was thinking that everybody else was smoking crack again.
If you don't like the change, you can always select the 'Uncensored' theme and all will be well with the world again.

Or, would it be possible through something like css, or better yet ajax, have a collapsable menu that si controlled by an xml file so you can easily maintain it.

Working on it. It'll be collapsable like like our other sections, have headings based on the forum sections, and will output the forums you have access to based on your account privileges. Thus, we add a new forum, it'll update the table.

Now having it user editable with AJAX (rearrange sections, delete sections) is a whole other beast.
