Offtopics
In the boards I read,there is often a main page,leading to different sub-forums,each one containing the topics related to it,without using tags.
So,newcomers may not be used to tags.
Anyway,here,there is all topics on the same page,which can be useful.With categories,there is a risk some people read only a couple of them,and so,not know nor answer the topics in other sub-forums.It is more easy to have a look at all the active subjects here.
Laura So you want these keywords in the titles or you want categories?
I don't care about the words, you can also call the upper themes 1, 2 and 3 (which makes no sense), I just want to divide it into upper themes
if you are a newbie i would advise you to introduce yourself first, then every newbie could perhaps open up a topic of their own where we could discuss it. but that would only be my suggestion if we stay with the current system
maybe we could introduce more information on the personal page of the user, so we know directly with whom we write

I still don't understand. Do you want 3 major sticky (like introductions) topics?
Angelina if you are a newbie i would advise you to introduce yourself first, then every newbie could perhaps open up a topic of their own where we could discuss it. but that would only be my suggestion if we stay with the current system
Why not.But,in most cases,their situation already relate to other topics,already used.
Angelina maybe we could introduce more information on the personal page of the user, so we know directly with whom we write
But it should not be mandatory.
Angelina we have a lot of themes, maybe these themes could be grouped into 3 to 5 main themes to make it easier for newcomers
Not sure reducing the numbers of tags would make it easier...
