Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think a little folder icon next to the folder links would make everything crystal clear without requiring extra backend coding.

Folders RULZ1!!1!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

PS: I am in love with the way the TV + Movies page looks. Now I want everything in a subfolder.

What is even happening?

I like it how the [whatever you called film and tv discussion blah blah] looks right now, and I'm with Jesse in wanting more subfolders and more things filed in them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Film And TV Discussion Areas Subfolders and Film And TV Discussion Areas as a header for the FIlm and TV threads doesn't look wrong?

Not to me. But I'm less focused on that phrase.

I liked it with just "Film and TV." "Discussion Areas Subfolders" looks wrong.

I like the clarity that what's in the subfolders is still a discussion area, and not something else. I realize that calling it a "sub" folder implies that what I'm looking at is the main folder, and clearly that contains discussion areas, but I'll stop typing now.

I'm indifferent to nomenclature. But I like the closed threads nesting within the topical folder.

Thanks ita!

I'm not seeing

Discussion Areas Subfolders

On the main page (b.org) I'm seeing the "Subfolders" Red bar, with "Film and TV Discussion" (which I think looks much better than just "Film/TV"), and "Closed Threads" under it.

Then I'm seeing another red bar, with "Discussion Threads" in it.

When I click on the "Film and TV Discussion" link, it takes me to www.buffistas.org/index.php?folder_id=5.

There I see a red bar with "Film and TV Discussion Subfolders". Under it, I see links for "Closed Film and TV Threads".

Then there's another red bar, with "Film and TV Discussion". Under it are all the active Film and TV threads.

I like it better.

It was extant when you last posted, Cindy, but I didn't want to leave it up just to make a point, so I switched the folder name back to something that left the pages making sense.
