Post by: Mike Fox on September 14, 2016, 09:46:40 AM: Is mine the only one that changed? I now have "Other" as the top category instead of General Discussion..

Post by: Ed Lecuyer on September 15, 2016, 08:16:04 AM: I spent some time looking at it this morning. I played with it quite a bit and can't figure out what is wrong. I need to do more experimenting, which will have to wait a few days.

Post by: Ed Lecuyer on September 17, 2016, 03:13:13 PM: Hi All,

It took me a good bit of effort, but I identified the issue that was causing the boards to appear out of order. I have made an adjustment as a "work around". While I was at it, I cleaned up a number of the forum descriptions and positions.

I'm thinking about combining the sections "Museum Discussion", "Volunteers" and "Work and Events" into a single category. In reality, they seem to all blend together. In doing this, I may create a new sub-forum: "Event Announcements" which would consist strictly of the official announcements of major events (like the Fall Festival coming up, work weekends, Victorian Christmas, etc.) I also may make sub-groups out of the Operating Crew and Carpooling sections. (If you can't see "Operating Crew", then you're not on my list of qualified (or in-training) crew members.)

Thoughts/suggestions are welcome.

-Ed

Post by: Mike Fox on September 17, 2016, 07:46:43 PM: Ed, I am all for the special announcement section..or upcoming events, or special events. Call it what you will..

Post by: Steve Smith on September 17, 2016, 10:59:01 PM: I agree with Wayne and Bill...would rather have those sections stay as they are. They work fine as is.
