Restructuring
The structure of the forum can be changed at any time to accommodate the needs of the forum.
Moving a Board
A board can be moved to a new location within the same category or to a different category. Click on the board's grip icon and drag to the new location. If a board has sub-boards, the sub-boards will move with the board retaining their position under the board.
Board vs Sub-board
A board can be moved to a hierarchical position under another board, making it a sub-board. Conversely, a sub-board can be repositioned in the hierarchy to become a board. A sub-board can be moved to the same hierarchical position under another board.
Moving a Category
Click on the category's grip icon and drag to the new location. When a category is moved to a new location, its boards move with the category retaining their position within the category.
FYI
A category cannot be moved to a position that is located between the boards of another category. A category can only be moved to a location above or below another category and its boards.
Deleting a Board
