Steve, That wasn't the point of the message.

The problem is mainly with people starting new threads in the wrong forums. (the bit showing in grey under each title (i.e. Winter League etc) If a new thread is created while in a particular forum, then that new thread will also reside in that forum, whether it's relevant or not.

I actually raised this issue as one of the forums (Croydon Singles League) had threads created in it by loads of people to post their Tuesday results, Singles/Doubles results etc., none of which are relevant to Croydon Singles League.

When I then look for items under Croydon Singles League, I have to trawl through a load of irrelevant stuff because people haven't bothered to check which forum they are starting a thread in.

As for developing formats etc, much of that is tied down to the site structure itself, which isn't always able to be changed.

As for duplicate threads, these are harder to avoid as it's possible to have more than one person typing a new thread on the same subject at the same time, especially on Tuesday nights/Wednesday mornings.
