Mike,
I've been watching and browsing the new structure and have to agree with posted comments. It works well.
In particular, I like the beginners astrophotography section - far less intimidating.
Great
Robert

Excellent new order in IIS - you have done a great job Mike

I also would like to see social chat as a seperate area.

Is it possible to have the oldest post listed first? It's a little challenging to understand the posts when reading them from newest post to oldest post.

This question pops up from time to time, so I've created a thread in the FAQ forum with instructions too.

I was thinking, it would be better if the sub-forums are structured with more levels...

For example (this applies to other sub-forums as well, of course):

DIY projects
- DIY observatories
- ATM
- Electronics
- Optics

and so on.

This way, it would have been easier to find specific activity, and the top level menu would look tidier and simpler.

Hi There

Is there any chance to (auto?)clean the Classifieds Forums of entries that have long been sold but are still listed as open.
Maybe enter a time limit and notify the "seller" that the entry is going to expire unless "re-newed".

Anything would be good....

Best regards
Menno

Hi Menno
If a thread hasn't had activity for 2 months, it's generally supposed to be moved to the archives by the moderators. But at the moment it's a manual process and sometimes we forget

It's a timely reminder and I'll start getting it cleaned up.
