forum sublevels

so there has been a lot of discussion about a reformat, and i just noticed the "Aftermarket" suspension went to "suspension lift & level" does that mean we will get a separate aftermarket subforum for drops/lowering?

What I'd like to see is a serach engine where you could input a keyword. The other day I read a post about a guy wanting chrome tow hooks. I stumbled onto some on the web and wanted to let him know, but I could no find the thread again. Rather than scrolling thru each forum, doing a search for 'tow hooks', or 'tires' or 'Roush grille' or whatever would be much simpler.

I don't want to have to subscribe to every thread I choose to investigate. No wmaybe this can be done, I'm still new here so if this is available, somebody just tell me how. If not, they ought to look into it.

there is a search feature on the site, but its kinda picky on key words you use. Its located on the black bar above the top post on the page.

Doh! OK, how's about a Forum for Dummies sublevel? Learning something new here every day!

A lot of talk about reformatting the site? No one roped me on the convo! LOL!

As for child forums within suspension -- I don't know, man. That really opens a big can of worms with regards to other sections. For example, Engines -- if we follow that mentality, we'd have a 5.4, a 4.6, and a 4.2 forum (and maybe even more). Inside of stock suspension, we'd have FX4, stock, and other stock. Within Transmission, we'd have oodles...

While I understand where you're coming from, I'm not sure that setting that precedence is really what I'd like to do at this point...

I like the idear'... just not sure it's going to be practical across the site. The last thing I want is for our site to look like howardforums.com (cell phone site) that has a BOATLOAD of forums with child forums built up to a confusing level.

How about a rename of Aftermarket Suspension to Suspension: lowered, lift, & level. That way everything aftermarket suspension wise is covered in one spot.
