	Would it be possible to move the Q&A message board to the main forum page? It seems to me that posts in this area are viewed less frequently than the others, due to the fact that this section is a bit off the beaten path. If they were consolidated, I feel that issues here might be noticed sooner, and there would be fewer double posts. Just a suggestion! ~Atomic ____________ *KWSN - Asylum for the Cynically Insane*

	Have a quick view over @Einstein for this layout. I think it's more convenient for the average user and helper. http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/forum_index.php

	We liked this so much that we replicated the effort :-) Thanks for the tip! Andre Have a quick view over @Einstein for this layout.

	Would you show me the needed php changes for that? grin I'm planning to do it on my own project, I feel it would be wasting time to do again what has been done in other two projects...

	No php changes needed bigger-grin Just change the last parameter in the create_category function in html/ops/create_forums.php from 1 to 0: $catid = create_category(0, "Platform-Specific Problems", 1); to $catid = create_category(0, "Platform-Specific Problems", 0); This will make that category a non-helpdesk category (1=helpdesk, 0=forum) and it will be automatically placed on the forum index page. Couldn't be easier, could it? Of course if you already created those in the database, just change the is_helpdesk field in the category table from 1 to 0. Does the same thing.

Andre That's not exactly what I wanted. Being a helpdesk category is more than just being in a different page. What I want is having helpdesk and normal forum categories listed in a single page, but keeping the extra features like "I also have this question", etc.

	In that case you'll definitely have to make some changes to the boinc php code. We don't care too much about the category to be honest: a forum is a forum even if you call it a helpdesk :-) Andre No php changes needed bigger-grin Just change the last parameter in the create_category function in html/ops/create_forums.php from 1 to 0: $catid = create_category(0, "Platform-Specific Problems", 1); to $catid = create_category(0, "Platform-Specific Problems", 0); This will make that category a non-helpdesk category (1=helpdesk, 0=forum) and it will be automatically placed on the forum index page.
