Now that we're in 3.0 and have a general idea of what we're dealing with, I'd like to tackle some things I've been putting off.
The big one, that affects the most Legionnaires, is that I'd like to add some tabs (The black links at the top of the page, like the recently added "James Bond") for subjects with lots and lots of separate threads, like Doctor Who and (I think) Dark Shadows. Or others, that Legionnaires suggest. Godzilla? CK's annual "New Season" posts? Just spit-balling here.
The flip side of this is a single thread with lots of responses. I don't see any reason to give something like the "Invaders" thread, which (I think) was one, single long thread, a separate tab or sub-tab. Just the stuff where there's a lot of material scattered all over. That's what prompted me to create "James Bond" as a category; every time I wanted to find an old thread I remembered, I had no idea where to look for it. So I put them all in one basket. (Well, all of them that the search function and Google found. There may be more I haven't found.)
If we get too many tabs, we can shift some tabs into "sub-tabs." We don't have any examples on the board of this function yet. But with sub-tabs, we could, for example, make it so that when you hover over "Movies and TV," you'd get a dropdown with "Doctor Who" and "Dark Shadows" in it, instead of on the home page directly. I'd like to put "James Bond" there, too, but we'd probably have to change the main tab from "Movies and TV" to something like "Genre Media" or "Books, Movies TV".
I can also add landing pages to each category and sub-category, which I think would make us look more professional. But that would be a lot of work, so I'm not just going to jump in and do it. I need to know you guys want it.
Alternatively, I could do nothing at all and sail along as we have.
