I did it.
IMHO the spread makes more sense now as it is, to the most part, chronological.
As most frequent forum users probably jump in via "Recent posts" they are unlikely to spot the difference - Peter being an example.
The revised layout should make it more obvious where forums are for new or infrequent users.

If chronological is your idea (and that would make sense) then you've got a few more to move yet...

I did say "to the most part" I have kept all the older front runners together in, sort of, the right time period as that seemed to make more sense.
We could do all of the 911's first, then front runners, then Boxsters, Caymans, Carrera GTs etc. or we could do model numbers .
Please feel free to move any you aren't happy with.

To add my 2p worth - I think it would make more sense from a usability point of view to have the more popular forums towards the top - stuff like the 914 forum with a tiny amount of posts should maybe be moved to the bottom, or wound up altogether.........obviously your decision, I can understand why the decision was made, but I think usability of the forum should be the key concern....

i'll let you suggest that one to the 914 guys, then! [
][][]I thought that the best layout was generally chronological, and grouped by type. So, 924, 944, 968. Boxster followed by Cayman. Early cars at the top, Cayenne and Panamera at bottom.

Forget the allegedly - it wasn't! [
]The 924 and it's subsequent varients saved Porsche during the late '70s/early '80s. Leading to some friction between VW and Porsche that was finally put to bed with Porsche's take-over.
The Boxster did the same thing in the late '90s, and the worldwide success of the Cayenne and the anticipated massive sales in some markets of the Panamera will do the same thing in the current recession.
The one thing we can see here is that the rear-engined cars have always lost the company a fortune, required baling out by other models, and should be at the bottom on the forum. [

Interesting, isn't it, that Porsche can innovate when they want to. Perhaps they'll be the first true sports car manufacturer to launch a mass-produced electric, or alternative energy-powered vehicle?
Frankly I don't care what order the forum sections are in - I use the New Posts link most of the time anyway. But I find it a bit sad that so many of the Register sections of the main club website, including the Boxster section, contain no photos at all. I'm quite happy to supply some.

any one remember stuff like this in 1993
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/porsche-expects-loss-of-pounds-50m-as-sales-dive-1481083.html
and then in 1997.. they launched the 924 ... or was that launched in 1975 ??? ohh hang on the Boxster was launched in 1997... (I had 3 * 944's and loved then so just ruffling feathers here - look in my sig at the link)
Porsche has been to the wire many times .. each time a different car "saved" them ... 924/944 variants or Boxsters or Cayennes .. all shipped in boat loads
The one car that no one ever called out as the "saviour" ... .. the omg dare I say it .. 9 .. no I'll get banned 1 ......no cant ... 1

The Porsche brand and the 911 are synonymous.
All the other models bathe in it's reflected glory - badge snobbery is rampant.
Their rear engined variants are much more profitable - front/mid engined are better value for money.
The Boxster per se didn't save Porsche, the imported Japanese production methods did that.
