Possible Layout change - FLHurricane.com

Hi again,

Referring to your page:

http://flhurricane.com/cyclone/ubbthreads.php?Cat=

I would like to suggest that the *most* important forum, the 'Talkback' forum, be listed at the top rather than after the section containing all of the forums of 'lesser' importance.

The reason is simple. While many people do look at the page using a browser at full page of 800x600 or larger, many do so in windows smaller than that and if a new user (you do encourage new users, don't you) selects 'Forum' from the side panel, he will see the first section, which starts out as the 'Storm Forum', in your first section. I remember the first time I logged in, I was confused initially and thought this to be the main forum. In fact, it was quite some time that I scrolled down far enough to notice the next sections, including the one with the Talkback (main) forum. This at first confused me, and I am sure others are also, unecessarily. Had the primary news talkback section, been displayed at the top of the 'pile', so to speak, it will be seen regardless of browser/screen/window sizes and be placed at the top as its importance suggests it should be.

The other forums will still be visible and the Storm Forum in what would become the 2nd group, would still be quite visible and I think would attract participants as readily as before once the user has exhausted the posts in the primary window, the Talkback forum.

Thanks in advance for your consideration....I've been meaning to mention this for quite some time as an ergonometric improvement to a truly fine board.
