    Currently in the Soccer Forum we have threads on teams, and talk of sub forums have been not a popular idea but is it possible to have links in the main forum that lead to a discussion group. I am finding it hard to make sense of this in a post but it would look like the following:

    Current Structure:

    Man United Super Thread 07/08
    Liverpool Super Thread 07/08
    Villa Super Thread
    Etc......


    Proposed Structure withing the actual Soccer Forum(based on feasibility)

    Man United Discussion Group <- Link which would open a hierarchial structure
    + United Thread
    + United Thread
    + United Thread

    Liverpool Discussion Group

    + Pool Thread
    + Pool Thread
    + Pool Thread

    so on and so forth.

    Basically when the poster clicks the discussion group it would open a hierarchy of threads within each group.

    I dont know if this actually possible, hoping to get some advice on this from the Site Admins team on this.


    Anyways this is just an idea , all opinions welcome.

    I wonder if we could prefix threads as in this forum.

    Current Structure:

    Man United Super Thread 07/08
    Liverpool Super Thread 07/08
    Villa Super Thread
    Etc......


    Proposed Structure withing the actual Soccer Forum(Using Prefixing)

    Man United Prefixes <- Using a search or drop down
    Manchester United Ronaldo Interview
    Manchester United Fergie Leaving
    Manchester United Transfer List

    Liverpool Prefixes
    Liverpool Gerrard Unsettled
    Liverpool Hicks caught with prostitute
    Liverpool Injury news

    so on and so forth.

    Or you could use tags. Tag all united threads you see with "Manchester United" etc. Then to find all the Manchester united threads you just search for that tag. Only problem with this is someone might start tagging random threads with the same tag. Saying that situations like this is what I think tagging was designed for.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
