I have received many complaints from new members as well as old that the forum was a little difficult to navigate. With all of the sub forums in the forum which you had to click on another section to locate, many people couldn't find what they were looking for.
I created the sub forum structure to clean up the face of the forum. I didn't want to see a long forum that you had to scroll for a while to find what you were looking for. But it seems the members didn't agree.
So today I went in and I separated out all of the sub forums. Instead of helicopters, airplanes, cars-trucks & multirotors being under "Rc-Vehicles", they are now their own sections. Within those sections are places to post.
Another thing I did was combined motors, servos, batteries, and ESC's. It was brought to my attention many times that there only needed to be one section for these items rather than having multiple sections all called the same name. Again, I'm going this in hopes of helping the new members as well as those that don't know how to navigate a forum.
All of this moving around and restructuring does have it's side effects though. It makes the forum longer. But I'm hoping that a longer forum will be an easier to navigate forum. I know that the members that have been here for a while will say it wasn't a problem before, but think of it in the eyes of someone just getting into the hobby and never been on a forum before. That is exactly what I had to do and is the reason it took two years to change it. But in those two years, I have received multiple requests to do it this way.
I look forward to hearing from everyone on this new change. Post your comments below and let me know what you think.
