OK people - this is going to be quite a major change to Vorb. I've been toying with the idea of totally revamping the forums - and after a lot of discussion with various people have decided that it's worth a shot.

OK - the initial changes have been made. If you check out the Vorb Forum Index you'll notice a drastic reduction in the number of forums.

I've had a lot of feedback over the past few months over the number of forums and people seemed to fall into these categories:

* They use Mini Vorb or Last 5 Active Posts - so don't even notice the seperate forums.
* They find the vast number of forums confusing and overwhelming.

So I've conglomerated the forums into very very broad topic bases and will be setting up a powerful searching tool for those of you wishing to trawl the forums for your favourite threads.

Can I emphasis that this may not be a permanent change - I'm giving it a fortnight and if there's overwhelming negative feedback I'll look at switching back.

I'm very keen for your feedback - let me know what you think.

Are the links on the left going to be updated to point to the new phorums? (i.e. under the navigation bit) Other than that, darn good site generally.

Yes, most definitely.

I'm having a bit of a problem at the moment trying to work out why DH Dominators posts aren't appearing.

Can people go and post a couple of posts on the forums? It's a bit weird right now. Eh?
