Just wanted to make a small suggestion in regards to this Support Forum. I have noticed the Featured Forums list in the Advertisement section is growing, which is excellent. However, it only leaves a small handful of other advertised forums on the front page of that section. Maybe you could increase the number of topics per page so other boards aren't pushed to the back so quickly. I always check out the new boards listed there...some of which are very nice. I just found 2 on the bottom of the 2nd page that I haven't even looked at because they were nudged by the addition of other boards from page 1...some of which were the featured boards.

Again...this is just a small suggestion, and don't get me wrong, I am joyed that so many boards want to be featured in that area of Support!!! Grin

I agree with you 100% and it would take like 2 minutes to do and it is small. It is kinda sad for
the unfeatured ones..

Anyway not to mention there's 3 news featured boards...
leaving only 7 spaces for unfeatured

Will add my 2 cents  Smiley
Ive been noticing it lately as well and it does sound like a good idea to do "something" with them.
I "think" possibly a new board could be created for just the featured forums.   Might not be a bad idea.

I don't think they should be moved. After all,they are paying to have their topic stickied. It should stay that way. Just extend the number of listings on that page.

yep I think so.. actually I sent on a note to SMF earlier to be sure he does see this one

Gordie..  you do have a good point.. they do pay for that (I shoulda thought of that) so that would probably be the best way to handle it.

The thing is,  when you pay for Featured Forum you do pay to have your forum stickied to the top of the Advertisement Board.   
It sets them out, they are seen right there when you go to the board.     So "I think" Gordie's idea sounds good.   Although it would mean the possibility of the "problem"  occuring again down the road and we of course dont want to see 150 topics on a page either.   

I left a note for SMF.. maybe he'll come up with a way to go with this.
A "Featured Forums"  Board may be a wize idea.  They would have their own place visible from the Main Board.

I dunno..  several ideas for him to look thru in the thread.
