I myself never refer to anything here or anywhere else on Yuku as "folders." I'd suspect that the use of that term is outdated. BTW, isn't this discussion, which has traveled far from the main topic, deserving of a separate topic thread? Mirek Agreed, things take a sharp turn towards Little-to-do-with-FMsville around post #147. Good discussion in the last several pages of this thread, but not related to the thread topic.

To me it's easier to understand than "forums". I think of this entire discussion board as the forum and the individual forums and topics as folders and sub-folders like when you navigate to specific files on a computers. So, yes, the Yuku term for the different divisions of the CHFB is "forum" but you can think if them as folders within the main forum. And a "topic" within a forum is the same as a "thread".

In the messages themselves, they're usually called "folders." In discussion with board supervisors, like you and Dave, I've always used the term "folder" without being corrected. As for "forum," the correct plural is "fora." He said, pedantically.

And how. All I was doing was trying to answer the questions posed by a newcomer, but others--the usual others--are intent on turning this into yet another bogus "controversy."

(04/08/09 1:56 PM) Burgomaster Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	I always see this place this way: Board > Folders > Threads (as in, this is the 'Will Magazines ... ' thread within the Magazine Folder) But Yuku sees it this way: Board > Forums > Topics (as in, this is the 'Will magazines...' Topic within the Magazines Forum). Both are correct, I suppose, although I don't know anyone who calls our happy folders as 'Forums.' But ... david Last Edited By: taraco 04/08/09 4:01 PM. Edited 1 times.

I know I may appear intimidating at times, but no need to be shy! Certainly you could reasonably say that you "know" me, in some limited Internet sense of the term.

(04/08/09 3:56 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	I do, and always will, refer to them thusly: Country > State > City For example: I am currently posting a comment in the city of Will magazines go online, and other things... (Population 92) in the great state of Horror Film Books and Magazines in the land of Classic Horror Film Board. This keeps things simply and uses universal terms that anyone new to the board can easily understand. Probably Yuku should think about adopting my geography based terminology for all their boards (I mean continents) Last Edited By: Senseofsurreal 04/08/09 3:59 PM. Edited 2 times.

Also, hope everyone sees I've split this thread, er, Topic, from the Ferry/Kim Topic, er, thread, to live anew here. Thanx, whatever you call these furshenlugger things! david

Otherwise, what does it matter. Folders, pockets, pouches, handbags, ring-binders, caches, repositories, ~~suppositories~~, closets!! It's alla same. Hm, sorta.
