I'm not talking about a single thread - that's how it used to be. Just one topic. I am talking about a single forum with many topics which is much, much different.
I gave several examples about lack of clarity - Say an article comes down from the spec about B-Line routing. Is that Transit? OR Downtown? Or Urban? It could even be about heritage if it discusses comparisons with the old streetcar lines.

This happens often with the "Downtown and City of Hamilton" section. Majority of the time I relocate it to the "Urban, Urban Design and Heritage Issues" section.

This is a perfect example of how clarity is lacking for many users - and the moving of topics causes them to get lost even faster.
How were the subforum topics chosen initially? Are they standard across all ssp local sections?
