Pigeonholing

edited July 2009 in Discuss the website with the team
Sometimes people want to post a topic that does not fit neatly into one section e.g. Mountain Bike, Road, Commuting, Family & Kids, Classifieds and Stolen'.
Would it be possible to have a 'General' or 'Miscellaneous' section as well? For example if I had a query about using a Mountain Bike on the Road for Commuting with my Family & Kids, where would I put it? I know it's easier to organise information and discussions in categories but many of us probably do all kinds if cycling and/or have all kinds of bikes. It's all cycling at the end of the day.

    The problem is that more sections make the place look too crowded - and many think there are too many forums already! There will always be some overlap in where to post - go for the most relevant. In your case, as is a mountain bike, I would put in the mountain bike general forum.

    Shouldn't this be in the "not enough sections" section?
    Pictures are better than words because some words are big and hard to understand.

    In Commuting, as that's what you're doing.

    Subtract the commuting bit, and goes in the Family section. Remove the family and you're in Road, remove the road and you're in Mountain Bike. Simple.
