The problem is there are too many subforum.Just look at dailymobile.The forum is ugly but neat.All symbian related is group under one section only then sub forum with one "general symbian discussion"only.Here is nice graphic but confusing with "general symbian^3 discussion"and"general Symbian"discussion".Too many redundant forum and this make follow up post difficult.
Are you high, mate? Take a closer look at the sections (especially S60v3/v5) because there are a number of overlapping and redundant sections. It is so difficult to find a thread at times that i have started bookmarking them.
"Was that in v5 or S^3?"
Don't take this as slander; i am only saying we all have an idea of our own how things ought be organised. What does your sock drawer look like?

Well Thembox is called Symbian Store these days, we accept Apps too.

But a device client would be a monster task
Sorry, i forgot.
i was looking at the possibility of Symbian Store as the next Nokia Store (as soon as i saw its new name, i thought "hmmm"). i just see it as the next step for devs to have a centralised and known site, with the hope of an app somewhere ahead if it goes well.

Well, we need to get on our feet first, still barely any content and we are only close to 200 members.


BTW how is the forum index looking guys ?

I just spent an hour organising it.

i tried logging in while you were doing it, so i had a look around to see the results.
It looks tidier now, but everyone is going to have their own idea about the organisation, mate.
Imagine your movies... Do you organise them by alphabetical order? Fiction/Non-fiction? Genre?
i remember trying a dozen ways to organise my DVDs back in the day and finally went with the simplest, least cool way of doing it.
It's your site and you are doing all the work so  :P on everyone who throws stones.
Make your own site and do as you wish with it if you don't like this one, i say ;)
To answer your question, though, the only thing i would really like to see is every section of the site (v3/v5/S^3/Asha/WP/PC) having a dedicated Tutorial section.

I just throw them on the shelf :P

I liked the original layout but I'm here to make it better for you guys to use so it got changed ;)

Hmm, I might add more Tutorial sections in the future but we would need Tutorials first :P I've created boards before and no-one ever posted in them, Meego was the main one.

Maybe it's because no one knows how to do anything...
So, it could double as a [TUTORIAL REQ] section :)

There are plenty of threads in the forum already which are basically tutorials and requests for them, mate. Just the task of going through them and organising those is a task in itself.
i would like to help (if i can) by tagging all the threads which could go into tutorial sections.
i would also like to think i could write a qualified tutorial on how to make an effective request for information, too.

I'm here, just finished my tea.

I'll ask on our FB page if anyone else likes the idea.

Allstar12345, I have a request i wanted to make for months. Can you please add smf core them to this forum? So users can change look and layout to that theme for theme. I am talking about theme dailymobile forum uses. The themes of sd forum keeps me away from being active because i don't like dark theme and grey theme, it's very disturbing for me.

Go to your profile and change the Look and Layout options. At the top is Themes. There is a light theme available already, mate.

How is the one you have pictured so different?
Not white enough around the sides? Too rounded?
It isn't dark at all.

Ermm, you see it would be tricky to add another theme, we have a lot of umm dodgy coded mods which don't like being re-installed and break the forum.

I can try but if it breaks the forum I shall be very pissed off.
