    I'm messing with category positions for the next few hours. Don't be surprised if things move around.

    I'm not sure if, by categories, you mean the same thing that was called "forums" on DPReview?

    Regardless, it would be nice (and helpful to those transitioning, I think) to replicate something like the forum menu structure we're familiar with. Viz:

    Not sure how feasible that is, but at least the bare bones would be a good place to start.

    Ah! I've now discovered the Categories drop-down, and I see that some of the familiar structure is there, and more seems to be appearing as we go.

    Well done, and I look forward to seeing how it develops!

    One minor quirk I'm seeing, Alan.

    The forum that was called "Sony Alpha Full Frame E-mount Talk" is represented here as "Sony FF FE-mount Talk", which is problematic because there is no mount called "FE-mount". And in fact there is a lot of newby confusion on that point, raising the erroneous assumption that there are two mounts, E and FE, whereas there is only one...

    Others may chime in with their views, but I'd suggest changing it to "Sony FF E-mount Talk", assuming you want a shorter form than the original DPR forum name.

    Cheers,
