Agreed 100% -- I don't see the problem. The subforum links are directly under the links for the main board... you can't miss them. Yeah, they're a tiny bit smaller, but if you really have an interest in posting in a subforum, you'd find and click on the smaller link. IMO if you "forget" about posting in a subforum, it's not the fault of FM, but the fault of the user. If you forget, you probably never had the interest in the first place.

Also, and this is my speculation, the subforums aren't going anywhere anytime soon. It's not a joke, it's not FM having a bit of fun, this is the new layout.

So yeah, all this whining seems unfounded to me. Take the extra effort to look over your screen for an extra few seconds, move your mouse a few extra pixels, and click on the subforum link. It's right there.

Phew, rant over. [rofl]

I guess all we're saying is any way you look at it, it's less convenient. Whether it's less convenient by an itsy bitsy little bit or not doesn't matter. Even if it's a few pixels or a few extra seconds.

I thought the new forum was made to improve the old one in every way. Most find the subforums passable, some don't like them at all, and very few seem to actually see them as an improvement. I don't get why they need to stay.

That's just me, I guess.
