The arrangement of the sub-fora seems to be very fluid lately, and I've been having trouble finding sub-fora or threads. When will be the final arrangement be decided, or will it just keep changing?
Stability in sub-forum arrangement?

There is a shuffle going on, but after everything is in it's new position then it should be stable!
As an ex-computer programmer and current all-round IT chappy it's an entirely natural choice for me.
It's only temporary though and will soon be gone, the changes are nearly complete.

I agree, when they bring in changes at work I often grumble that how is it an improvement, but sometimes I'm proved wrong (note: only sometimes .... Obviously I'm right sometimes
)

A half hearted bellyache:
I think that the success of Google and the failure of Yahoo's hierarchical web directory system, the success of the very "flat" structure of Twitter should tell us that fiddly subclassifications are not the way to go.
Personally I'd be happy with "bike stuff" and "non bike stuff" , with a sub class of "helmet arguments" under "bike stuff". I'd set the non bike stuff and the helmet stuff to ignore and do what I do now - just look at "new posts", set threads that don't interest me to ignore and use search when I want to know about particular things.
If I wanted to quibble with the actual sub-forums chosen I could. But it would be a long and boring list of quibbles.
As I only use the "new posts" feature and largely ignore the forum structures this is only a very half hearted bellyache. It seems a bit pointless.

I thought it was just me until I saw this thread .... have to say I'm finding the vast number of sub and sub, sub fora a bit too diluted.
Dare I say it both YACF and CTC Forum seem to have the balance about right - the one feature that YACF (and ACF before it) had was the option to suppress the display of sub-fora that were of no interest ... that made the user experience a lot better and sharper.

I haven't actually added that many new forums, the longer homepage is just a result of bringing some of the existing sub-forums out into the main branch.
You can do that here too:

You can do that here too:
- To remove selected forums from the list: https://www.cyclechat.net/account/ignore-nodes
- To ignore new posts in selected forums: https://www.cyclechat.net/account/new-posts

Working now!Try again - should be working now - sorry, I thought I'd set it up for ignore nodes when I installed the add-on but it seems I might have overlooked the permission.
thanks
