[slim] New forums

I agree. Too many subforums tend to disperse information. When I think of it, most of the posts concern Squeeze Center, not the hardware. :) -- Themis SB3 - North Star dac 192 - Denon 3808 - Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus

I think if the Transporter had a forum to itself then it would be a very bare place. However, I do feel sorry for those novice Transporter users who enter into the Audiophile forum (into the Lions den.. etc). SB Classic should only be split into it's own forum if the general forum continues to

I like the Duet forum. Gets all that junk out of General. The 'SqueezeCenter' forum makes little sense to me. Squeezeboxes do very little without SqueezeCenter, so a very high percentage of General and Beginner and Duet and Boom and other discussions are going to be direct questions about

In the meantime, at least make the Duet forum for the SB3, it is after all pretty much just a screenless SBr and plenty of people use SBc's with them. -- autopilot *Lounge :* Squeezebox Classic - Cambridge Audio Azur 640a - Mission 701's. *Bedroom :* Squeezebox Receiver - Trends TA10.1

I was just wondering why we have new subforums for the Duet and SC etc, but not for the Transporter or SB3? Sign of things to 'come' (or, should i say go?). If not, it would make a lot of sense to have to them covered. -- autopilot *Lounge :* Squeezebox Classic - Cambridge Audio Azur 640a -
