I just went through the forums. It's way too much. Some of the subforums have just a couple posts. We need one forum for guns and one for everything else.

I'm not a regular because I don't post often, but I have been a lurker an member for maybe 7 years. This is the worst message board layout I have ever seen, there are so many subforums etc (at least 45). that one has to wade through I usually just give up.
I can't believe that the site owners really believe this has bettered the forum experience in any way. It makes navigating the forums tedious and boring not to mention there are sometimes only 4-7 topics active.
Are you referring to discussion forums or classifieds forums?

I have to agree with this. On the old forum, I'd visit perhaps half the sub-forums and find something interesting to read, and the classifieds were a snap to scan. Now, I only visit two or three sub-forums and often leave without reading anything since the posts are spread out so widely, and having to drill down through the classifieds makes me less likely to do so.
What do you mean by the "posts are spread out so widely?"

Let me work on the classifieds some today and see what I can work out.

Is this better? You can access everything from the front page now by clicking that little arrow to see a list of everything. (Those are all the categories now.)

IMHO, there are too many sub forums for the different items up for sale. They have the effect of spreading out the WTS/WTT items so there are fewer per sub forum. As someone else mentioned in this thread, it was nice browsing one sub forum for pistols, shotguns, AND rifles, and one sub-forum for "everything else." You never knew what might pique your interest; now, you have to visit more sub-forums and only see one or two new items each. Sure, we can check the New Posts section, but it's just not the same.

Both, there are way to many sub forums to navigate through. I guess what it boils down to is I like the old layout better and wish it hadn't changed.
But I see the change you made with the drop down menu I can access from the front page and it is a nice step. And it is great to see you are taking our suggestions and feed back seriously!
