Removing some of the clutter from the Board index at forum.joomla.org Topic is solved

[sozzled]

Some time ago I asked for a number of forums to be removed from the Board index.

I was assured that the forum management team would look into this matter at some time after the release of J! 4.0 (which was over six months ago), viz.

We will archive some of those you mentioned in the future, starting most likely with the arrival of Joomla 4.

I again ask, with respect, that the matters I referred to previously be reviewed please.

1. Can we have the Board index reduced in size (length) so that the J! 1.5 and J! 2.5 sub-forums do not appear (in the same way as the J! 1.0 sub-forums are not listed)?
2. Can remove from the Board index a couple of forums that are no longer used because there are other places where those issues are discussed, viz.
   
   1. Joomla Ideas: these discussions have, in effect, been relocated to GitHub
   2. Joomla Events: these things are now promoted at https://community.joomla.org/events.html
   3. Registered Joomla! User Groups: these matters are dealt with at https://community.joomla.org/user-groups.html
3. Two forums, created ten years ago when J! 3.x was being developed, are no longer applicable in the current climate. They are:
   1. User eXperience (UX); and
   2. Joomla! 3.x Bug Reporting: bugs, defects, etc. whether they relate to J! 3.x or J! 4.x, are reported/discussed on the Issue Tracker
4. The Joomla! 3.x Coding forum—currently listed under Joomla Development—is analagous to the Joomla! 4.x Coding forum that appears under the Joomla! 4.x - Ask Support Questions Here category. Why not move the J! 3.x one under the J! 3.x "support questions" area, similarly? This would save people some time locating those things.
5. The Joomla! 4 Related forum is mysteriously located under Sites & Infrastructure - Feedback/Information. It located there because it is an "archived forum" but it doesn't really relate to "'mechanical' forum or Joomla! sites related issues". I have no objection to this being located as an archived area under the broader General Questions/New to Joomla! 4.x forum or, perhaps, the narrower Joomla! 4.x Coding and I will let the moderators decide if it might be more appropriate if it were relocated elsewhere.

Our job is to make things easier for forum users and, as a result, make things easier for the forum moderators. There is an implied social contract that the forum management team should make things easier for everyone; eliminating confusion and clutter from the forum index page will assist everyone.

I hope these suggestions will be taken on board and will result in a more enjoyable forum experience for everyone.

It would be nice to see an overhaul of the forum.

Agree plus

#4 Coding is coding for 3rd party extensions. Joomla development is core development. The latter is dealt with in github

#5 What the heck is Joomla 4 related? A heading for everything to do with J4 ... updates, installation, seo etc?

#5 is a relic from before the release of J4

That can be removed then?

This should be all sorted now.

It's much more tidy now. Thanks.
