Forum separation?

So all the forums, with the exception of beta, have been collapsed into a single group? Is there some way to get rid of all the white space?

    Other languages, resources and Proclaim are also separated out. English is combined into one and relies on tags. I think it works reasonably well.

    A few things I notice for repair or possible improvement:

    • The status of 'answered' seemed problematic and is being discussed
    • Images are missing from some posts in the migration to this platform
    • The analytics in profiles need to be corrected. Mine says I joined in 2016 when I joined the previous platform on the day of its launch in 2009.
    • The lack of dates on forum post lists could lead to a greater possibility that someone will post on a thread that was forever ago.
    • I personally prefer to see in addition to the original posters name, the most recent time and date and who commented in the subtitle.
    • Would it be worth having a 'mark all' read option for forum?
    • The quote function is all or nothing, which diminishes its function.

    The use of white space in the forum does give it a clean look. I am getting used to it, but I, too, have wondered if the use could be tweaked a bit to help with the visual flow of lengthy posts, particularly with the demarcation of the original post and subsequent comments.

    Regarding when we joined the forum - I found that, for me, the date shown was the last time my forum email address was changed. Could that apply here?
