Since a lot of the Q&A hasn\'t been posted to in almost a year, I wish the forums here would be combined into one.

You can do this two ways, move all the threads here into new categories added to the regular forum. If you can create them and do the move without kabooming the whole project.

or

Create a page that shows both forums at the same time.
examples:
APS@home All-in-one.
PS3GRID\'s Forum and Help desk Two-in-one.

As a moderator it is much easier to view just one page to see what needs attention than it is to view two pages.

Many projects are going to this style, many users, not just moderators agree this is better for all, the project, moderators and the participants.

The easiest way to do this, is to edit the \"category\" table of the MySQL database manually. For instance with phpmyadmin. Just change the \"is_helpdesk\" value of all records into False (0), and voila. If you wish you can also change the sort order according to your wishes (the \"orderID\" field)

It\'s true, we didn\'t check the Q&A section frequently enough. We\'ve combined the two sections. Hopefully this will make it easier to respond quicker in the future.
Thanks for the suggestion and the hints!

That was easy.

I admit too, I forget to check the Q&A frequently, now that it is all in one place it will be easyier to ask question and get anwers and for us moderators to keep an eye on .)

Nick, you have my Very Much Thanks. Keith.
