I'd merge Board Builders and Hydrofoil Builders into Builders/Construction (or Gear Builders)
There are topics on bar design, chickenloop replacement, kite construction which naturally belong to the same place
I would prefer to merge them as well.

But would be good to hear some more opinions about it.

Your opinions here please: https://www.kiteforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2401698

we took out the list of forums from the home...this used to take too much space.

We replaced it with a small dropdown, which also works fine with your mobile.

See the "Choose forum" and click on it to jump to a forum quickly.

I find only a color difference on the Frontpage list of topics more pleasing to look at, without italic and size difference:

Would be good to get more opinions and ideas how to make it look the best.

Plan is also to make the topic names black...how should the forum name be ? Grey maybe ?

And the topic name will be for sure bigger to stand out more than the forum name.

But the more feedback to better for all of us

Yes I saw that. But not so "easy" for me.

Accessing 'User Control Panel' always requires me to sign-in again (even though I'm already signed-on!) and then click through several more pages to get to the list of my bookmarks.

For those of us in remote locations with poor bandwidth this process can take 15-30 sec or more - not a pleasant experience and not "easy".

It would be much easier to have a link to my bookmarks under 'Quick links'! Isn't that the purpose of 'Quick links' ???

Now in Quick links !
