Hi @espressologic.
So with the new setup we don’t have one thread anymore where we keep track of everything? It’ll be different threads all over each section? I can see the growth in where I have come from with the first posts on the thread I created until now. It’s been good and beneficial to go back to different times and see the difference.
I found I have made connections with the thread and we all check in on each other and support each other on respective threads.
I don’t really have the confidence at the moment to make threads in each section. So that would mean that I may miss support and encouragement when needed.
We understand that long-running threads provide a sense of continuity and connection. Unfortunately, when they run on too long important topics can get lost within them and it's difficult for newer members to join in and engage. Threads running to hundreds of pages also slows down the loading time for forum pages which impacts everyone.
Encouraging topic-based threads will help everyone find and join relevant discussions more easily. You can still maintain connections by mentioning or tagging members in new threads. It might feel different at first, but creating new threads can also help you reflect on your progress in more organised ways, serving as new chapters on your journey (you will also still be able to revisit your old threads).

Im not sure what you mean by forum tags? I like when my user name is tagged as then I follow up and don’t miss things.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the landing page inside the forum you'll see this. The tags are the subjects inside the boxes.
