Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I *think* Fetch removed the categories when he was revising the Forum search a few weeks ago. Think it was in one of his blogs.

There was discussion of the new Search function on 15 Jan 2020 (in Fetch's blog, you're right), but I can't see anything about the forum categories there.

Fetch's response to LMH in the comments on his 15th Jan blog implies that he thought the categories were pretty useless because people often used the wrong category when creating threads.

I'm sure I remember reading him going into a bit more detail on that somewhere, whether it was an earlier blog or a thread, I can't recall - if only there was a decent search we could maybe find it :-p

Got something to say?
