[GenABEL-dev] Time for a subforum?

[Maria G]

Hi dear all :)

What would you say about such kind of Forum structure? (as in example below):

http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/forums

It looks to be easy to read, easy to search, easy to answer... or not?

Personally, I'm quite happy with that forum, however, if I need something I always use "Search this site" which works just excellent! 
Do I understand correctly, that on that Forum they somehow implemented Google-search engine? At GenABEL is the same search-tool implemented?

best

Maria

Color/macro: not sure this is easier for maintenance. Having separate forums sounds like a more straightforward solution form the user perspective.
