One of the recent, and almost un-noticed change to the Forums was the removal of Forum descriptions in the upper right-hand object.
For example, The Underground has subtext stating that it was "Bungie General and Old-School", the Septagon, Maw, Library and New Mombasa also had small "blurbs" describing them.
Since these descriptions have been removed, The Underground (in particular, but it appears to be happening everywhere) is getting a much higher number of mis-forumed topics created. I suspect that The Underground gets more posts that should be in The Flood, Maw, Library or New Mombassa as it is the first listed Forum on most menus.
I know that this is kind of piddling, but I think that it is noticable. I've tried not using copy-n-paste boilerplate text advising people where there topic would be better created, but I must admit that it [i]is[/i] a temptation. Since the topic reporting database on HFCS doesn't appear to allow just standard members to post about problem topics, I am at a loss of how best (as a member) to respond.
I want to help, I want to advise (helpfully) each member who is mis-posting, and I am reluctant to try to report these threads that are not truly "harmful", but probably honest mistakes.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this change since the removal of the brief forum descriptions. It is very obvious to this observer. Would it be possible to have those descriptions returned?
