Retail Vendors subforum location
BadMouth:
I like project announcements under Main.
I never look at the restorations, but if it were under project announcements I probably would.
I'd be more worried about getting rid of a row than a column, so it takes up less of the page.
My $.02
Row 1 (core stuff):
Main
Project Announcements
Restorations
Pinball
Arcade Misc
Row 2 (cab building stuff):
Monitor/Video
Woodworking
Artwork
Driving & Racing
Automated Projects
Row 3 (starting to break down :lol ):
Consoles
Merit/JVL
Audio/Jukebox/MP3
Project Arcade
Raspberry Pi & Dev Board
Row 4:
Software
GroovyMAME
Front End Support (separate subforums for Mala, Maximus, ...maybe add Hyperspin if someone wants to manage it)
Linux
Dos/WinCab (I don't even know what this is)
Row 5:
controls.dat
??? (whatever I missed or don't combine something)
Forum Discussion
Wiki Discussion
Old Boards (contains both old boards & old archives)
Row 6:
B/S/T
Retail Vendors
Reviews
P&R
Everything Else
EDIT: Maybe put the raspberry pi forum in column 2 and driving cab by consoles in column 3?
I'm ok wherever the driving cab forum ends up....or where anything ends up for that matter.
I just think more traffic can be generated by organizing them more strategically.

I definitely like the idea of dropping PnR from the main menu. :applaud:
Another way to reduce the number of main menu entries is to use a link to the index page like this: Front End Support Forums
That, combined with another category or two on the index page, would group related sub-forums without making them into harder to find child forums.
It would also allow new support forums to be added to the category without adding a main menu entry.

Do you really want Saint to grant me full admin access? jk >:D :lol
No, thanks. I'd probably break the site.
I'm just encouraging a discussion that (hopefully) results in an improved menu and index page plan to present to Saint.
What categories beside "Front End Support Forums" would you guys recommend adding to the index/menu and which forums would you include in those categories?

I wouldn't overuse the submenu thing. Stuff could easily get buried and never seen again.
I think it works for the front-ends. I don't think it works for much else.
It's akin to having to navigate a bunch of menus on the telephone to get to the option you want.
