Divide and conquer or divide and lose?

Hi there,

How hard would it be to get rid of the subforums and put all threads in one place?

For me, the google groups (newsgroup) format works beautifully: i get some emails and filter them in their separate folder, no further subdivision needed.

On this forum, you get greeted by 5(?) sections and 18(?) subforums, each dividing the visitors into fractions of one or two.

I do want to learn what is going on with the UM community, but trawling all these forums is a non-starter for me.

Thus far, the googlegroups-like bahaviour that was promised at launch, has not appeared and I think this division of focus plays a big part in the failing of these new forums.

(having an option to share with facebook but not with G+ is another, but minor factor)

Hi Jelle

If you use http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=viewNewContent&search_app=forums

as your link it shows all your unread posts with no Sections or Sub Forums to worry about. Is that what you are after or something else?
