    Okay so it's just kind of there and for no reason, seeing as the section is only there to hold the others. It would look more professional if the discussion list was removed from the Production Studio altogether.

    This would get rid of all the unnecessary components for a container forum such as that:


    If users aren't allowed to post discussions in this section I don't see the need to display the discussion list. The end product will look like this:

    We allow posting threads in the higher level section in certain nodes for general discussion or if someone is unsure where to put a thread. Furthermore, for highly segmented sections like these, we've been moving more towards prefixes to cut down on page clicks to get to content. These forums will probably go that route eventually. Also I believe I've mentioned this before but PLEASE do not post code here, it should not be shared outside the xf resource site IMO. We appreciate the help but it is unnecessary (unless asked).

    Is something like this what you mean, Misty? :)
    • Create a prefix called Video Project
    • Apply that prefix to all threads in Video Projects
    • Move all threads in Video Projects to Production Studio
    • Delete Video Projects

    Something like that?

    It may not be exactly like that but yes that's what prefixes are. We did this recently with the KH help sections, sometimes it just doesn't make sense to break things up so much especially when prefixes offer organization without segmentation.

    I actually made a typo. First item in my list would have been singular: Video Project. :P

    Yup, that's what prefixes are, haha! And I totally agree. It's the same with the suggestions forum. Instead of having forums for suggestions, approved suggestions, and rejected suggestions, there's just one suggestions forum with pending, approved, and rejected prefixes.
