Let's deal with one fiasco first, ok? LEAVE the threads alone. Chronological order is best. If people want to go to a Forum where the threads pop around all the time, they can go to PFO or PoserPros where finding anything non-popular can be an exercise in frustration. If something is chronological, it stays put. Dividing up this Forum is a disasterous idea. The number of posts would multiply geometrically as people cross-post, trying to get the attention of the right expert or of the audience as a whole, thus making what we already wade through MUCH WORSE. Besides, as has been pointed out, part of the charm and interest of a community is a variety of unified topics. Opening up a skin texture forum and reading 27 posts on "how do I fix this texture" would be boring, boring, boring! A better search engine would be nice, though. Carolly
