Is mine the only one that changed? I now have "Other" as the top category instead of General Discussion..

I noticed this earlier this morning and notified those in charge. They experienced it as well. I presume affix is in the offing. Guess we all hate change!

I just poked at the administrative section, and the setting seem to indicate that what we're seeing shouldn't be happening.  Maybe it's a mass hallucination.

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.

Everything still seems to work--just in a different order.  Perhaps the old saying of "Let sleeping dogs lie" would apply here.

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

My opinion, Ed, is that those three headings should remain as they are.

I'm in agreement with Wayne -- the current breakout of sections is fine.
What–me worry?

I agree with Wayne and Bill...would rather have those sections stay as they are. They work fine as is.
