Okay, no poll as it seems not to like the long question body!

Shout yes or no into an envelope and post to:

Drat,
I 'd just typed a long reply to your first post and then got a Couldn't Retrieve that Thread message
Yep...looks good.
Looks good to me - all the sections I use are in there - and I guess the site survives on the 'use it or lose it' approach.

Looks OK 2 me
awesome, just awesome

(just been on a webex with an american)
Yes, but,,,

Agree with the removal of those removed.
Not convinced of the need for remaining subtopics in A&N, F&D and H&G but don't feel strongly.
I'm not sure of the need for an Offers & Comps section- it tends to be used by those who don't get as far as seeing we have a Q&P section.
Has Site Suggestions gone then? I wonder if it's Ed's blog that should go.
Thanks
Beauty ...

Have any ABers ever posted in that?

I suppose the idea is that, if you can't think of what's missing, then it's probably OK!
Yes
I don't go in there but I notice History has gone leaving just Genealogy, I thought the history topic was reasonably well used?
I don't like the sub-categories - either make them categories in their own right or delete them.
music,technology.chatterbank, fine for me and you can dump the rest as far you want
Question Author
chiaroscuro - the ones we've kept are all well trafficked and have lots of people using them. Seems a shame to close them down while they still serve a purpose for some.

I am partly in agreement with you.

I we get a chorus on this we can reconsider I suppose.
Question Author
Sorry, History SHOULD be there?!
Question Author
Fixed.
Looks OK to me.
Just to be pedantic & tidy, "Twitching" *is* "Birdwatching" - one or the other should do.

It's not so long ago that you wanted the list to be alphabetical - that's gone with the removal of "Media". "Religion..." is also out of alphabetical order now.

A few people in the past have requested a "Photography" topic, that could have been part of "Hobbies & Interests" but that's gone now.
What about Science?
It's still there.
