Hey,
I took over a forum about 4 months ago but only finally got the time to start working on it within the last month.

I spent hours trying to re-arrange the forums and move topics to more suitable forums and I am still doing it, about 2 weeks later ;)

I would love some help on how to arrange my forums, what forums I should have and what I should remove.

I tried to put a lot of thought into it but its a lot harder than it looks trying to re-arrange everything.

It has been a nightmare so far and I know there's still a lot to do.

The reason for changing forums? There were a lot of forums that really weren't needed before I took it over and it was lacking a number of forums and posts were in the wrong forum, so I had to create some new forums and move all posts.

I also tried to change the theme of the forum to more of a webmaster site rather than focusing on graphics, so this also called for a lot of change.
90% of the people in the community were webmasters anyway so this wasn't a problem but the forums weren't arranged for a webmaster forum.

The site is www.WebmasterForums.net and any help would be appreciated :)

Thanks :D

In all honesty John, it looks fine to me. But then again, I'm no expert in this.

Since you inherited the condition, you might need to do like you're doing and see what the community dictates.

If I knew what a webmaster forum needed, I might be able to help more. :blush:

Hehe no problem :)

Still working on moving threads around from one forum to another - Taking forever but it will be better to have them all in the right forum.

Your members are bound to be the best critics, they might have a few suggestions regarding reorganisation.

It looks kinda squished up with the google (sponser) skyscraper on the left. That was a bit of a turn off for me to stay and browse.
