Sub-forum for HP RPL graphing calculators

[matthiaspaul]

Well, I don't think a few more sub-forums would cause fragmentation of the user base, just give the forum a more rounded-out structure in general.

> HP Calculators (and very old HP Computers)
>> General Forum
>> HP RPN
>> HP RPL
>> HP Prime
>> Articles Forum
>> Classifieds

> HP Software Libraries
>> HP-41C Software Library
>> HP-65/67/97 Software Library
>> HP Prime Software Library
>> General Software Library

> Not HP Calculators
>> Not quite HP Calculators - but related
>> Not remotely HP Calculators
>> Test forum
>> Forum Issues and Administration

Further, it would be possible to reorder some of the existing forums to group semantically related topics together, like:

> HP calculators
>> General
>>> General software
>> HP RPN
>>> HP 41 series software
>>> HP 65/67/97 series software
>> HP RPL
>>> HP 48/49/50 series software
>> HP Prime
>>> HP Prime software

> Miscellaneous
>> Articles
>> Remotely HP calculator related
>> Off-topic
>> Marketplace
>> Forum test
>> Forum issues and administration

Navigating three-level deep forums is not any more difficult than navigating two-level deep forums (you never need more than two clicks) if the software can be configured to show links to the two next deeper sub-levels rather than only one level in the forum index. (I know that IPB supports this, but I'm not sure about MyBB.)

Another approach to consider is to make the RPN, RPL and Prime forums sub-forums of General, like:

> HP calculators
>> General
>>> HP RPN
>>> HP RPL
>>> HP Prime
...

Depending on the capabilities of the forum software, it might be possible to support "flat views", where all threads in sub-forums of "General" would show up in "General" as well, so that the list of threads gets narrowed down the deeper you move in the structure.
