Bicycle Austin forum

plarson, would the "Equipment" category be a good place for things for sale?  That's how I always imagined that category -- all things equipment, both discussion and stuff for sale.

If so, should I rename it to "Equipment (Discussion & For Sale)" ?

Chavela, I understand the appeal of having just one big list, instead of categories.  For that reason, I'll be working on a hack to provide that to readers who want to see the forum that way.  That way people who want categories will have them, and those who don't want to go through categories to get to posts, won't have to.

The reasons some people prefer categories are so they can go only to the topics that interest them, and that when looking for an old topic, having them categorized makes it easier to find them.  Both these things will become even more important if this forum ever grows to be pretty big.  But, like I said, I understand the appeal of having all posts appear in a single list, and because of that, I'll eventually provide a way to see that.

Note that you can already do that for new posts.  There's a link on the bottom of the main page that says "Show new posts", which gives you a list of new posts all in one spot regardless of category.  Eventually I'll whip up a version that does that for all posts, not just new ones.
