"General Forums" sub-catagories

[cirque]

Slight confusion.

When I got directly to www.thecatsite.com I see a list of forum areas. If I then go into one of those forum areas I see a listing of posts for that area.

If I click the "General Forums" link near the top however:
http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=15

I get shown a diffrent listing of those same forum areas, but showing sub-catagories. Is this normal? Is there a way to set my options to see those sub-catagories when I look at the main page normally?

I have posted like over 150 times without ever having seen those sub catagories, until one of my messages was moved I had no idea they existed.

Thanks

Cirque

I have my home page set to go straight to the Forums instead of the front page. Does that answer your question at all?

I thought about that, it just seemed kinda strange that it starts at the ROOT -> SomeOtherForum -> General Forums and yet general forums leads back before "SomeOtherForum" and shows more detail. I guess it makes me wonder why the main page doesn't just do that and if I had just missed a setting somewhere.

But thanks anyways for the idea, I usually just go right to the new posts myself. Although General Forums will be more useful when posting so my messages end up in the right areas.

It's always been like that. If you click on General Forums, you only see the general forums. It's the same with the other major headings.

If you are finding it a pain having to click into general to get to the subs try the forum jump down the bottom right hand corner.

I'm afraid that's the way VB handles several tiers of forums like we have. You can only see one sub-level from where you are.

I am not sure where you see the links from the main page www.thecatsite.com though? we have links there pointing to the articles sections, but not to particular forums.
