Tidying up the forum
Over the next few days I will be tidying up the forum. I will be making a new category NORTH AMERICA. United States , Canada AND Mexico will all be in the one category. Each will have its own forum and sub forums for the classics bob etc. etc.
The forum is getting a little messy looking. Next month I will be returning to school for a year and will be busy with study's. So I trying to get the forum all in order and ship shape. So bear with me over the next couple of days, it will be for the better.

Sounds good Admin. May I suggest you also look at your "Middle East / Israel" I would tentatively look at reorganising taking the German hierarchy. I'd suggest the larger Category "Gulf States" and placing Israel elesewhere, perhaps with Iraq Jordan and Syria. I'd welcome any other suggestions.

I was leaning towards having a larger world wide category. Place forums instead of Category's and then have sub forums .
I was going to have NORTH AMERICA, EUROPE, GREAT BRITIAN & COMMON WEALTH, and WORLDWIDE.
I will place Australia in Common Wealth with a forum and have sub forums just like it is at the moment.
We will not lose any forums or sub forums, just every thing will be a little more compact.
It will make for much easier navigation of the site

Hi Rodney
Putting Israel with the Arabs. Is that wise?

Jack,
I like what you've done with North America and I think the other groupings that you've discussed will provide a much cleaner appearance.
As you consolidate, you might want to concurrently standardize the text (e.g., all caps, small caps, title case, etc.).

What about just dividing things by continent: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia?
