I think we had a disconnect. "Current" would be a main category.. with "Diablo" and "Fremantle" as separate sub-categories. N900 users shouldn't be posting help requests in "DIablo" and vice versa for Fremantle.
Right now we have an Applications, Games, Devices, Operating System, and several other areas .... As a new user especially, and even as one that's been here a while.. I'd have no real Idea where to post a question. So I just wrote an Application, we'll say a game, it runs on my N810 using Diablo.
Would I announce it in N810? No, technically it will run on N800's running Diablo too. Games? I guess, but it's also an application, and only works for Diablo. Applications? Ok, but it's also a Game, and same problem as being Diablo only. Diablo? This is probably the best bet.. but it might go missed by people looking specifically for "games" or "applications".
This is my dilemma with the current layout. With the new layout it would be pretty straight forward... It goes under Diablo. Anything running diablo would then be able to test it and report back.
A separate section for "Hardware" would then contain the N900, N810, N800, N770 sections and, as Tex said, be specifically for hardware only. Granted.. that becomes immediately confusing to new users when they look at the index... "Do I post my question in N810, or Diablo?".. so it would be up to the mod's to move threads to the right areas if someone cross-posts.
Include with this some ability for users to "select" which categories they want the "New Posts" link to only show (or all) would also be beneficial. So as an N810 user, you could enable Diablo and N810 categories only to show when you click "New Posts", for example.
