No input? Ok. Don't complain when things here change, and it's your birthday, and you're crying, or however it goes.

It's possible some of those areas are not used frequently enough to get informed feedback from the community in just one day. June

That in itself makes it quite reasonable to stick them together.

Xemodex do a lot more for the Volvo community than ETMs. I wonder if there should be a new forum category called Modules which encompasses DIMs, ECMs, TCMs, CEMs, ABSs, BCMs and any other module that tends to fail on these cars. Xemodex could have their Sub forum and also any other guys who can work on and reprogram modules such as Mid West ABS and guys like Henry and Yagger.

The genesis of this is this.

My understanding of behavior is most users want to post about their car in that car's forum. Most.

I can fight against this tendency by pushing and prodding and moving posts, but at the end of the day people find things here by searching, not browsing, so putting threads into categories doesn't make sense. It doesn't appear to help SEO to have a matrix of categories either.

Tagging helps achieve the best of both worlds, but again that's just behavior I can't influence, besides just making tagging available, which it is.
