The Need:
The From Stem to Stern section is feeling a bit neglected.
I'd love to see a lot more ships detailed in there - right now there are 6 ships and a thread that links to the great resource that PortPolarBear has in the same vein. Of those 6 ships, 1 is Treaty and the rest are...

This is a request for comment for a proposed reorganization of some of the sites forum groupings and subforums.

The goals:
Reduce redundant and largely unused subforums and subforum groups by merging them in to others.
Add a few key subforums to encourage specific interactions.

First the reductions: Merge the forum groups of Technical and Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts (TTS) under one name (The Shipyard ?)

A subcategory there is Free Plans. Free Plans are broken into two main categories at this time, Warships and Convoys. Within those categories each resource is tagged with a prefix indicating the scale of the plans contained within. If more than one scale is contained, they are currently marked 'Multiple...

I have all the files, but not a good map. If you find a post with internal links that are broken, please click 'Report' and mark the reason as 'Bad Links' - I will then attempt to locate the correct files and re-attach them.

Free Plans will be making a return

Thread Prefixes in various forums. These are essentially highly visible tags that make quickly identifying content by classification easy. For example the Build Threads forum may have prefixes for Wooden Hull and Fiberglass Hull, so if you were looking for a wooden hull build, you could quickly narrow the list down.

XenForo will attempt to autosave your work. That's right, it will save drafts as you type, so if you close the window, follow a link to a new page, switch computers, have a massive power failure, it is no problem, go back to where you were and XenForo will fill in with what it remembers.

You can tag members. If you type @ followed by a member's name, such as @nicktest, XenForo will create a link to that member's...
