    I've just noticed it today for the first time but now when I click on "sports" on the top menu the drop-down menu appears with a sidebar.

    It's not very important but I don't think the sidebar looks all that professional and thought that it may be possible to group certain forums as was done for the games category just to avoid the sidebar ?

    Got a screenshot? I'm not sure what you mean.

    Again, not all that important and maybe like that for years without me ever noticing.

    Ah. Simply from the top of the page to the bottom of the dropdown it's 700px roughly. Add the height of the status bar and your browser bar on the top of the browser and you may struggle to fit all of that onto your 800px high screen.

    Get a bigger monitor!

    Yeah, it may be an idea to group them as 700px for the dropdown is quite a bit.

    Might be a good time to bump this thread because some good suggestions were made.

    Aye badly need to be grouped - quite difficult to navigate.

    How difficult is it to navigate a vertical, alphabetical listing of sports?

    I don't think adding sub-menus for balls sports, watersports, crap sports etc will make anything easier.

    I used to think that. The re-organisation of Biz and Games converted me though.

    Sub-sub-grouping ftw.

    Not sure you could have such clear "genres" in Sports as in games. Sub menus will lead to stuff not being seen / found, posts in wrong forums...

    It'll all end in tears, mark my words :)

    Possible groups:

    Dangerous Sports:
    Shooting
    Airsoft
    Archery

    Not Dangerous Sports:
    All others

    That should do it ;)
