[fiction-factory]

Science is still there, trt

[Lie-in King]

Off-topic but meh, as you're about...

Could you please address the double space between the words "Your" & "Answer" in the "Type Your Answer Here" box, Ed? It's always looked a bit naff to me, sorry.

[fiction-factory]

Sorry trt- maybe Ed spotted yours and added it back as History is also there.
This is what can happen when people are allowed to change their posts!

[Psybbo]

Should Sport have sub-divisions i.e. Football and All other sports although I would like Horse Racing included
Otherwise fine

[ladybirder]

I'm happy with that list.

[Lie-in King]

Good point Psybbs :-)

[RandyMarsh]

Hurrah for gaming!

Animals & Nature
>>Pets

I always post my pet related queries under the main topic - as do many others. Can we just merge them?

Zap the beauty category - unless your statistics say it is well used.

In the 'olden days' we had the ability to review and change our questions before they were posted - is the return of this feature a possibility?

I realise that the site is funded by the adverts and the more members that there are the more money may be raised. But is there any way of getting the spammers eradicated right away. If they are new members and include a url in their question their membership should/could be put on hold for someone human to check it out? There may be a more technical way of doing this.

[Buenchico]

So how will I be able to get my fix of . . .
http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Play/Tetris/ ?

[wolf63]

I sometimes play concentration but I am really awful at it and it takes ages

[ummmm]

And can we have back the 'has this question been asked before' option?

[Patsy33]

I'd like to see that one too Ummmm.

[Patsy33]

Yes. All good.

[Hopkirk]

Get rid of sub topic 'Christmas'

It isn't used, except for the occasional jokey thread in July.

Personally I would ghet rid of all sub topics, they are a pain on the mobile site.

[cupid04]

I think 'site suggestions' is missing, lol!

[Togo]

With Psybo at 16:38 re Horse Racing. Perhaps a "Cats" category would be popular. Otherwise all looks good.

[Prudie]

I like the beauty category, have posted in there a lot as have others.

[Hopkirk]

If sub topics have to stay (not my choice) then make it impossible to post in the main topic so the subs have to be used.

[vulcan42]

You have "Home and Garden"
do you need "Gardening"?
