    Dear whoever's in charge here - what are your thoughts on creating sub-forums (per philosophyforums)? I reckon it would make accessing threads easier if done in a logical fashion. The threads just seem too convoluted at the moment with little rhyme nor reason.

    Cheers,

    When I initially joined here, I would have agreed with you, but now I kind of like going to the home page and seeing all at once what sorts of things are being discussed, just in general. Just my 0.02.

    Maybe there could be two front pages, one displaying all threads and another that has categorized sub-forums. Philosophers could switch between these based on preference.

    Just my 0.02.

    If you click on categories in the side-bar, you'll see the sub-forums.

    Quite.

    I guess this thread's over now then.

    Yes, it's just that the default view is all discussions, which can make it a little confusing.

    There is one forum here and it is the site itself, with discussions belonging to categories. You can see categories in the side menu or on the categories page. Also, on the main forum page--equivalent to "Latest" on old PF--you can see the category any discussion belongs to by hovering over it.

    Noted. I think I'm just suffering from nostalgia of the good ol' days of PF, before it got all adverty and then broken.

    One thing I asked the developers to do is make the category name visible next to each discussion title on the main forum page. They clearly didn't think it was important. I may ask again, because I think that would help with the confusion you and others have expressed.

    That sounds good, maybe if we could click into it to get to the category itself (the list of categorized threads, I mean) as well.

    That would be good, especially when you have to scroll up or down to find the category you want in the side menu. But I don't expect it'll happen any time soon, if at all.

    You can just bookmark the Categories page and it will look pretty much like the old forum.

    On the old forum I only looked in certain categories that interested me. Here there are a lot fewer discussions, so I am content with just scanning the list of topics on the front page.

    You can also filter what shows on the front page by clicking on Categories and then unticking the boxes on the right.

    I suppose in the beginning there were requests for adjustments to the first philosophical schools, too.

    "There aren't enough students in this school."
    "We need more shade."
    "There are too many flies."
    "The smell of the roasting meat on the Zeus's altar is distracting."
    "I have to park my chariot too far away,"
    "I don't like the way you painted the sign out front."
    "You never have enough papyrus or lambskin for note taking."
    "Your benches are too rough."
    "Your wine is watered down."
    "The other people here are not serious."
    "The handsome naked athlete over there must join the class. He has a very flexible mind, I hear."

    Mods,
    Not sure who to chat with about tech issues but I am having trouble logging out of my phone. Its a phone my work gave to me - Microsoft Lumia 950 - on android. There doesn't seem a drop down option for it.
