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.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

What is even happening?
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.

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

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
To me, the word "Discussion" seems redundant. I mean, discussion is all we do here. What else could it possibly be?
But as I'm a Message Center gal, I should probably not care so much.

A summary of posts made by Tim or Joss. A breakdown of promos. A request for tapes. A personal announcement ...
I'd close the pedant tag, but who'd I be fooling?

Well, then, I like both. I think I prefer how it is, now (that is, with what I copied into the post above).
I don't think it would bug if you put "Areas" back, although I'd use "Area" or "Threads" rather than "Areas". I'm not sure why, though. At any rate, I like having the word "discussion" added.

Fine, fine.
(But all of those are already sectioned off into the yellow sidebar. Center things are all discussions!)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We're funny. Long live our pedantry.
If this is contradictory to an earlier opinion of mine, please feel free to choose which one to disregard.
Liese, may I please tag this?
Tag away!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Man, I'm offline for 12 hours and you guys go and redecorate. I'm hugging my message center to my heart and daring anybody to fool with it. Do with the home page as you see fit. I'll just log in with my eyes squinched and hit "message center" real quick.
No fooling with message center! Or how most recently active thread goes to the top! Or the neato sub/un buttons! Scary bojangler stuff. Going and hiding perfectly cromulent threads in "folders" off elsewhere and unseen. Scary...
