    I like the new format.

    Can we have the headings to the sub-forums listed in the main heading that they are under, like they have at the AVforums.

    how about the section being titled Chat & all 'dat
    or similar with 2 boards in it
    "discussions and polls"
    "The Money Savers Arms"

    Good idea Elsie:)

    Ok I'm gonna stick my head above the parapet and hope it doesn't get shot off


    I think the ARMS should be opened up again,as the sub-forums are not apparent to people until they enter the moneysaving arms .


    My reasoning ...I have just done some comparisons and

    The moneysaving arms

    and

    Discussions


    Have been in the top 12 of the statistics for most popular boards according to the sites own statistics

    Moneysaving Arms 7th in november 04................5th in december

    Discussions 13th in november 04...............11th in december


    Please can we have them reinstated and visible:D



    and now I shall sit in the corner quietly

    I agree it is confusing

    we are so used to them being seperate and now when you are in discussion the title says
    MoneySavingExpert.com Forums > MoneySavers Arms > The Money Savers Arms > Discussion Time

    I love the suggestion about listing the sub-forums on the main board. We're going to do that some stage today. Hopefully this will solve a lot of other concerns too :)

    It's nice to see the sub-forums marked but (you know what I'm gonna say)

    I still think Discussions should be a forum again.......................it is after all the 11th most popular board ...................come on Martin ,one teeny board at the bottom :D

    Thats more popular than the Site boards above the ARMS section including the section on Martins Appearances.;)

    I agree Traf as I noticed with the Vent board that because it is now in the sub section it had,nt been touched for 2 days, and this could happen to the discussions board.;)

    I think if there not in your face so to speak they will get over looked.:eek:

    :DLove it :DI especially like the addition of the sub forums - its was a nice suprise to see them there today. Its fab to have the avatars back - I look at avatars before names. Although I keep thinking that Martin is posting all over the freebies board as loads of people seem to have 'borrowed' that orange square thing and adapted it and with a quick glance I get all muddled :)

    Keep up the fantastic work guys
