Such as?

What did you have in mind?

Maybe a chapter apart with the different 800's as seperate topics?
I know this will be a bit of work for someone, but in my opinion it will be a valuable addition.

That someone could be you?

If I would know how to.....maybe.

I just think that the amount of info at the moment can be handled, but what in a year or so?

If it's useful for you, in our forum we have in each subforum a thread with the index of the subforum subjects, ordered by "type" (articles, tests, questions and solutions, etc.), and then alphabetically ordered. The subjects in the index link to its own thread.

Also, we try to "respect" a kind of "format". I.e., we call the roadtests threads: ROADTEST: Rover whatever, the articles MODELS: Rover 200/400, TECHNOLOGY: Rover K Series, etc. etc. But I think the most interesting thing is the index.

I was thinking of something like this:

Chapter:

Rover Articles and Archive

Subchapter:

Mk1 Commercial
Mk2 Commercial
Mk1 Articles
Mk2 Articles
Mk1 Everything else
Mk2 Everything else
History 800

Looks like a good idea when you put it like that, but it will take take a lot of organising.

I know, but it will be a lot easier to find things and also to add things. When you've got some nice info you have to get through the whole list to find out if it hasn't been placed before.

I can't see a way to create a sub-forum (or

within the archive forum.

Maybe someone who's more familiar with phpBB may know.

Now we have three chapters: "general chat", "technical chat" and "for sale and wanted". Can't there be an addition of a fourth? Then the Archive is a chapter on it's own and then you can add the different sub-chapters. Just thinking outloud.

Make sense to me.

In essence, the earlier its done the better, because the longer its left the more time will need to be spent organising the mass of articles.
