    I liked to have seen the Off topic discussion a little higher since I sometimes forget to check it and more, and I don't think that off topic should be totally at the bottom of the page.

      I don't know why forums were ordered in the way they were (As Max ordered and created them), but it makes sense. You have all the forums with topicality and then off-topic. I'm not going to change around the forums because you forget to check off-topic.

        I often forget to check it myself, but I guess it really isn't that big of an issue/suggestion.

          I don't say it's a big issue, but I sometimes seem to forget it's there because most forums have off-topic higher then other forums.

            Well, let's jsut say the Off-Topic is for topics not listed in the above forums. Hope that helps, it shouldn't be moved in my opinion.

              The board ordering is perfect. I think, in all honesty, anyone using IPB should model their forum system off GSSF.

                Ha, I think the same in that subject. I think it's because the board order is very easy to get used to.

                  Agreed.

                  You have the important stuff like site and forum related at the top, then GSW (important still), then the game forums (GS 1 and 2), then general discussion forums such as artwork, off topic, tech etc., then the misc. no post things.

                  Very well ordered.

                    To help you see off-topic better, you can hide the topics which you do not post in, that way Off topic will not be as far down the page.

                      Maybe I can do that, I just thought it was strange as this is the only forum that does it like that.

                        As Agatio so eloquently described, I've tried to order the forums in order of relevancy and importance. But you are right that the Off-Topic is pretty far down, though I don't know any way of improving that other than you simply "minimizing" the other forum categories. The GSW forums are probably safe to minimize until I get back in July (read my news post in a few hours), so that can clear up some space.

                          I understand, not too familiar with Invision so I didn't know, that. I'll see into it.
