Split the motoring forum

Perhaps whilst you're sorting out the Forum, you could rename it to add something like 'Public Transport, Fines/Prosecutions* and Cycling' as I think the 'Parking Tickets, Fines & Parking' sub forum regulars use to get right upset when a Railway Fine end up in their forum because the OP saw the word 'Fine'

* or any better wording any other user can think of.

I think it was probably more confusing when the Parking Fines forum was a subforum of the Public Transport (and Motoring) forum. Less chance for confusion now.

Agreed, but wouldn't it be best to remove any chance of confusion now whilst the grown ups are making adjustment to the forum.

I would think it would make more sense to rename the parking forum tbh. "Parking, parking fines & parking tickets" No chance of confusion there at all.

Is the Forum that big as it is now, it doesn't take that long to scroll though to see which bits you want to read or join in.

I know it's early days, but the new board doesn't appear too popular with readers at present

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the 'viewing' figure. There are quite a few active threads on the board and certainly more than I ever noticed when 'Public Transport & Cycling' topics were included within the Motoring Board. In my view, this can only be a good thing.

I like it. Will prevent havign to trawl through 4i958634986 threads on what winter tyres or what car people should buy!

Other than the fact that they all share the same roads and are subject to the same Highway Code etc.

You might want to run that past a few cyclists I know then:D:D


Ok that's tongue in cheek, to give an idea of what I'm talking about.

I do think it's a poor idea to separate the 2 in terms of this forum, it will simply drive an ever widening wedge into the cleft that already exists, or maybe it's an admission of the fact that the 2 will never reconcile their differences?
