Hi Kev, yep, and it is duly noted ... One last up-date before I sign off 'til tonight however, as there is a potential final solution in mind regarding all this, which if it can be implemented, may please all (or at least most, as learned that pleasing all is an impossibility ): G.

My take on this, and I don't really have an axe to grind either way, is this.
This is an issue faced by most forums as they get bigger. Some people want all topics in one place and to pick and choose. Others want to go to specific places for specific topics. There's usually no right answer, and this can lead to conflicts so it's a matter of finding a balance. But when a forum gets popular enough, one section for everything is not enough. I don't know how many posts there are a day on here but imagine if everything was in one section. It would be impossible to keep up with much at all, as it would be gone off the front page within a minute or two, therefore there is a need to split down by topic.
The thing is though, people can have their cake and eat it, by means of the New Posts search. If you're looking for a specific topic, you can go to that forum. If you want a flavour of what's going on across the whole board, click the New Posts link and treat the results like the proverbial Menu.

Not posted on this subject so far so here's my tuppenyworth, for what it's worth:
I'm in agreement with (I believe) the majority on here that it was/is a completely unnecessary move to sub-divide the sections even further. It was fine as it was.
If I want to know or see what a thread is about - I simply read the title.

I'd like to know who the complaints were from , if you were bothered enough to contact admin surely you could post on here and give us your views
Simple IMO . you can please some of the people some of the time .

You must be thinking of that other site you frequent Dave, Dave@Dogging.co.uk
Yes, I'm a little bemused that the (then) many who complained who I am indirectly trying to sort things out for haven't posted as yet, but there again I can understand why because whereas to a degree I can take the hassle (although am "cautious" ), they may not want to have any potential grief at the next shoot they attend (and why should they ) so I’ll go it alone. The compromise plan that was alluded to earlier is still under advisement however, but I will up-date either way by Saturday. Atb: G.

My final words... for now
I leave you with an apt summary from "The Life Of Brian":
REG: Listen. If you really wanted to join the P.F.J., you'd have to really hate the Romans.
BRIAN: I do!
REG: Oh, yeah? How much?
BRIAN: A lot!
REG: Right. You're in. Listen. The only people we hate more than the Romans are the f*####* Judean People's Front.
P.F.J.: Yeah...
JUDITH: Splitters.
P.F.J.: Splitters...
FRANCIS: And the Judean Popular People's Front.
P.F.J.: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Splitters. Splitters...
LORETTA: And the People's Front of Judea.
P.F.J.: Yeah. Splitters. Splitters...
REG: What?
LORETTA: The People's Front of Judea. Splitters.
REG: We're the People's Front of Judea!
LORETTA: Oh. I thought we were the Popular Front.
REG: People's Front! C-huh.
FRANCIS: Whatever happened to the Popular Front, Reg?
REG: He's over there.
P.F.J.: Splitter!======================================
