Some ideas on the naming conventions for the different forums.

[oLLie]

Just wondering,
Why is it called "General Hardware Forum" and "Highly Technical Forum" as opposed to the same thing but without the word forum? Like the rest of the forums.

Good catch, oLLie

Anyone else have an opinion? Or just wanna drop in and call me a lamer? heh

Mod: Check the drop down list of the individual forum names. oLLie's just asking why GH and HT have "Forum" after their name whereas the rest of the forums are simply labeled things like "Forum Issues" (Forum Issues Or Off Topic vs General Hardware
Forum).

Hehe, no really, what is he talking about? (check again )

Apparently, I imagined the whole thing. Well, carry on then.

While you're at it, can you shorten "Software - Applications, Programming and Games" in the drop down menu to just "Software"? It's the longest title by a couple words. That would make the navigation menu thinner. I dunno, it just seems like there's a lot of white space on the menu next to the first several forums. I think it looks kinda stupid, but whatever.

yiwonder,

That won't be happening. If we did, Forum issues would fill up with the following threads:

"Can we have a Programming forum?"
"Can we have an Applications forum?"
"Can we have a Gaming forum?"

That's true, but I was just suggesting the change for the drop-down navigation menu. Keep the forum named the same, but just in the Navigation menu, shorten it. I know, it's small and stupid, but that's kinda what this thread was based on, right?

Oh, and you already get those requests for the new forums anyways...

Uhhhh.... What?!

I don't see any Forum at the end of the names?

What are you guys talking about? Boy, I'm lost...

They changed them now so none of them say forum anymore.

Good job noticing that before oLLie.
