Rearrangement of site list - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Would it be possible to move the long list of states with "Good MB Shops" to or near the end of the overall list of Forums so I don't have to scroll all the way through them to get to "Shop Swap Classifieds?"

What is the URL you are looking at that shows the entire list of states?

When I go here I only see one link for "Good MB Shops":
http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/
You have to click on that link to see the list of states.

At the bottom of most pages is a dropdown list called "Forum Jump." I commonly use that to move from one forum to another.

General Discussion

be moved under/below

Shop Swap Classifieds

Correct.

Moving General Discussion down might rile up to Open Discussion crowd.

Yes, I can see that. Really, all I'd like to see moved is the "Good MB Shops." That's not an every day sort of need and should be at or near the bottom of the list, whereas the various forums including the General Discussion, Lt. Gen. Discussion, and all the lesser rank Discussions are accessed more often.

It looks like "Good MB Shops" is part of General Discussion; you would have to move it to a new home or make it a separate topic and I don't know if it is possible.

A better option that I just realized would be to not have all of the subheadings of "Good MB Shops" visible in "Forum Jump." You would see the list only when you clicked on Good MB Shops; that would make the whole Forum Jump list only half as long as it is now and wouldn't require rearranging anything. Now that I think of it, this is the better way to go (if you accept my idea in the first place).

I don't understand why you see the whole list of states, all I see is 1 link to "good mb shops", then I see a whole list.

Perhaps we are looking at different places. I am describing the link at the bottom of most pages, on the right side, that says "Forum Jump."

^^Your right.

Unfortunately, the software will not allow that.

Too bad, but thanks for taking the time to discuss.

When I look at that list, I can just jump to the exact forum I want. I don't have to scroll through anything. Of course, I never use that. Never even looked at it until I read your mention of it.
