News Topics

[anotheoldgit]

Judging from the amount of postings on the other 3 categories of NEWS, proves it just ain't working. Agree or Disagree?

[flip-flop]

Strongly agree - I'm not the only one that finds these sub-topics annoying, am I?

[newtron]

Yep, people are just ignoring the sub-categories.

[crete]

i agree,

[maxximus]

personaly i think two of them would be sufficient. only because if your only popping on every odd day, it still gives you a crack at participating in a question you might be interested in, as it has not been pushed off the page yet. more input, more varying opinions on a particular subject. we just have to use them.

[dummkopf]

Me too.

[Llamatron]

Count me in.

[Doggy2]

Agreed. Valid point Maximus!

[jgs]

I like the politics sub category but it should be a category in itself. News should become 'news and current affairs'.

[Lonnie]

Agree.

[makemesmile]

Totally agree. It takes too long to read them all - I give up.

[LazyGun]

Some of the original categories were rather broad, so having sub categories may be a good idea.... but separating what was formerly news into effectively 4 sections seems a bit over the top. I would have thought just 2 categories, news and current affairs, and government and politics might be more appropriate.

[dyli795]

Yes, sub categories are better standing as categories in their own right. It would be simpler and less ambiguous.

[libertie]

Agree.....like LazyGun's suggestion though!

[Catso]

Agree - ditch them

[keyvan]

Personally, I am in favour of having two sections:
1- News & current affairs
2- Politics
This would allow to search under categories and identify the topic of interest.

[jump79]

News was fine the way it was, I'm going to continue posting in the main categories like before.

[jedimistress]

Me too. Don't like the subcategories. Too much cross over of topics.
Especially like Government & Politics. They are pretty much the same thing aren't they?

Too many places to browse through.

[ummmm]

Agree. I posted a question saying 'they've ruined it, when did this happen?'

and it got banned
