Apparently RallyPoint just re-structured the answers drop down to show categories of discussion. They also removed the start a discussion option so you have to click the link at the top of the right hand column. When you post a new question you also must select a general category. What say you all?

The new Answers categories are intended to create some additional order, without creating unnecessary separation or limiting perspectives. We believe that the diversity of thought and discussion is one of RallyPoint's greatest strengths, and don't want to isolate people too much. On the other hand, we know that some people rather keep the business side and the fun side separate, so this allows for a bit of the best of both worlds.

We look forward to your additional feedback!

I think that it is a good addition to the forum section sir. A lot of folks came up on the net to offer suggestions for better organization and search features within the forum section. I think that this upgrade caters to a lot of those suggestions. I am sure that this is only the initial crack at the discussion section. I bet that there will be much more to follow.

Absolutely 1SG Steven Stankovich. I think this is a great sign that RP is coming into its own and as you pointed out the administrators (unlike Congress) are listening to "we the people"

That's correct. The changes are not as drastic as some members would prefer, but there is also a silent minority (or silent majority) who prefer other formats as well. This is a step in the direction of greater organization, without causing too much disruption... hopefully...
