Subject Divisions inside Forums.
 

Ok, trying to think of ways to space out a confusing forum without sub-forums.

So - wondering if there is a way to do this.

You click to go into Forum 1.. and it shows up this.

Main Forum > Forum 1

------------------------------------------------------
Category 1
------------------------------------------------------
top 5 threads from this category
top 5 threads from this category
top 5 threads from this category
top 5 threads from this category
top 5 threads from this category
------------------------------------------------------
Category 2
------------------------------------------------------

top 5 threads from this category
top 5 threads from this category
top 5 threads from this category
top 5 threads from this category
top 5 threads from this category

etc.

All of this is inside the Forum.

And if I click on the Category 1 text, it then goes through to all the posts in that category.... make sense?

Thought this might be handy for some people.

Cheers.

and thanks in advance.

bump.

Anyone?

c/mon...

Add a field to your thread table for category.

Put a dropdown box in the new thread form, that allows the user to set the category.

Put a column on the forum display page showing the category, and allow users to sort on it.
