[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 5265053, member: 115"] I can't find a way to sort by tag; chances are that's linked to the Search function. However, you can choose to view by prefix by going to the Display Options panel at the bottom of the forum and selecting a prefix. You don't even need to be a subscriber to do this. It also gets a unique link that you could save in a browser. As far as combining goes, I think the problem is one of perception amongst both new members and old. For the old members, yes, General is slower. The reason for that is because edition-specific threads are actually being posted in the edition-specific forums. I'm willing to go out on a limb and bet that if you looked at traffic to the edition-specific forums you'd see an increase in traffic correlating to a decrease in traffic to General. My suggestion wouldn't be to recombine the boards, but rather to resort them on the main page. I don't understand why the 4E boards aren't at the top of the board index. They're the most popular boards, they're the most current boards, and the boards that most new members will be looking for. If anything, General should be at the [I]bottom[/I], as a miscellaneous catch-all forum. You could perhaps merge it with the "Other RPGs" forum. The way I would order the role-playing forums would be 4E, Pathfinder, D&D Legacy, WotBS, General/Others. Move Board Games to "Gaming Action," since they're currently under the RPG category when they're not RPGs. I'd consider moving Miniatures to Gaming Action as well; really, most minis discussion is tangentially gaming related. Leave the rest as is. [/QUOTE]
