Now I don't know how possible or not this is but let me know if you can do it.

Basically when I setup the "guides" section using this mod, I had to take various threads from various categories and put them all into sub cats of my "article" forum. I then hid that original article forum from view(so that it still looks like all content for a certain category is in that category). I then added forum links to the different article forum sub-categories in the main categories.

See what I mean by going to http://www.mydellmini.com/forum , notice the forum links "Dell Mini 9 Guides" which links to the hidden article forum.

One thing that has now happened is that because the guides have been moved out of the original parent category they're not getting as much coverage at all (they don't appear in the overall category view for one thing ).

tldr;
Can we have multiple "article forums" so there is no need to move everything into one category. They could all show on the main page as it currently does, its just I don't want to have to move all the sub categories/threads out of their original top-level category
