Board Navigation Changes Coming

[stratasfan]

Hi! Just wanting to alert all members that you will be noticing a bit of a change in the board rearrangement. This is something that has been in the works for a while now and we are very excited about this! After a long time of reviewing comments from members and having discussion about how to make them all work together . . . there will be a bit of a re-arrangement of the boards on USMF. This will not affect posting at all, so don't worry about the content! This is simply re-arranging the board placement to make for easier navigation and browsing so that you can find the correct board to post in! 

 

The goal is to make USMF easier to navigate! For instance, all board pertaining to Homefront and Vets will be together and not all over the place, Collection Assistance boards will be together, all boards having to do with Sales and Buyers will be moved together so that all Sales and Buying boards can be easy to find, etc.

 

Here is the new "Site Map", so that you can easily see where each board is placed! If anyone needs help finding something, feel free to contact me or any Staff member, and we will help direct you to the correct board! (Some of these listed boards have sub-boards and none of those are changing. They stay as they are. We are only moving what's shown on the diagram here)

Having the boards arranged in an orderly manner will also allow members to easily toggle a section closed or open, depending on what they wish to view or not view. Very simple to do, and it is remembered on your device, so when you come back, your choices will still be toggled off or on. 

 

To toggle a section to "closed", go on the main forum page and you simply click the little arrow icon on the right side of any section title bar:

 

 

Once clicked, it changes and only displays the title section bar to you, so that you only view one line rather than have to scroll through the entire list of sub-boards in the section. If you wish to toggle that section back on . . . simply click the arrow icon again! 

 

 

The Staff appreciates your cooperation and understanding as the changes happen, as we make the entire forum easier to navigate and a better experience trying to find the board you want to post in! Again, feel free to contact me if you have an questions!
