Yuck to new format

I dont like how you have to go way out to view the Frequently asked questions. more than likely n00bs will then miss it and then more repeat questions will be asked than before. that kinda defeats the point of the frequently asked questions section then.

I like the new format. Any noob is most likely to first land in the TSX Community page anyway and the FAQ section is more prominent than before.

it really doesn't matter to me if you liked the old format. The current set-up is how it should always have been, in line with all of the other forums on AcuraZine. Somehow we made a mistake and the TSX was different for the past year or so though.

Im not complaining about not being able to find the FAQs, I was simply stating my opinion. Obviously I dont expect the mods to change the format back to the old style just because I stated that I liked it better

I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here...i assume u mean that with them as subforums you can't see who made the last post from the main forum page? I don't really see how this makes any real difference to the usablity of things....

from the previous main page you could view all the TSX forums from the TSX community along with the links to the sponsored and off topic forums

It's an extra step and I was wondering why that decision was made??

this actually creates a lot less steps, since people can now enter the subforums from within the main TSX discussion forum.

if you actually took the time to read the thread, you would already know exactly why I did it.

I tend to jump from one of the TSX sub forums to the Meets forum which would be an extra step in that case

and I did read about making it uniformed with the other forums, but I have with that is I have only really read the TSX forums and I check in on the meets, so the explanation of the uniformed look still had me confused on the changes because I was only use to the 1 look

I am not against change, just wanted clarification on the changes

What's the point of a separate linked, second Community forum?
That's just daft!
Index page shows as Community (TSX, TL, etc), surely (in reference to the TL one) instead of the sub forum being called Community too, it should be Model Version or something more apt?
Either that or leave it as Community, but don't hyperlink the sub forum title itself, just the separate sections within.
The result would be TL Community>Third Generation, instead of the additional layer TL Community>TL Community>Third Generation

As for here - there only is the one sub forum - TSX Discussion, yet it's layered as TSX Community>TSX Community>TSX Discussion. Why, when it's totally unnecessary?

Anyone else?
