Title: More Categories and RSS feeds for each category
Post by: lyncas on April 28, 2008, 11:31:10 AM

I'm a big fan of ChiefDelphi.com forums and I think you can help clean up the interface by have sub categories for each of your categories,

For example,
Electronics : Microcontrollers , Power , Sensors

Mechanical : CAD , Animation , Motors/Gearboxes , FEM

Misc : Robot Competitions , Forum Suggestions, Q&A

Having RSS feeds for each category might also improve the forum experience,

Here's an example,

Feel free to post any sub-categories you have,

This has been suggested many many times, and the general concensus has always been keep things simple. Its really hard to categorize questions sometimes, too. For example, suppose the question was about mounting a motor - is that mechanics or electronics? Or how to program a servo - software or electronics?

As for rss, the forum emails you when someone replies to your post. And when a new tutorial is written, an rss feed gets sent too:
