Community, Knowledge Base and Advanced User Guide - the way forward

This sounds cool - I'll experiment with this and let you know how I get on (although you'll probably see the results for yourself)

Ah - turns out the 'Collapsible Forums' control I found was for the admin tools rather than the main forum display. Could you expand what you mean about collapsible forums?

Chris,

When you create a forum there is an option to 'Act as forum' within the setup. If you set this to 'No' it will essentially act as a category header, any forums placed inside this category will sit underneath it as if it was a sub forum, but will just act like a normal forum. Categories also have a little image at the side that allow you to collapse them entirely so the forums within the category are hidden.

OK - understood. What I'll do is do this for the next version rather than trying to get it working with the current v8 forum. We can then do 'Previous Versions', 'Other Actinic Products', 'Other Stuff' categories as well.

Chris, you can see an example of this on my forum (not finished yet so apologies <s>). take a look here http://www.madmash.com/forums/.

Cheers Paul - that's exactly the sort of thing I'm after. I'll do a revamp in the future along these lines.
