Soon Subforums are possible

Soon Subforums are possible

Hi Developers,

I long for the function "Subforums" with Flatboard.

I would like to add and create sub-forums to my main forums.

Will you allow such a flatboard function one day?

Perhaps this is integrated in the core of the software or you have to write a plugin.

Then I wait for your feedback.

Hello,
Nothing is planned to create sub-forum, is Flatboard do not want to play in the big yard.
So sorry but no I do not plan to integrate this functionality.
If a person wants to develop a plugin, the door is wide open ;)

No Problem, Fred! 

I just wanted to inquire cautiously ;)

But if it is not planned, then so does the synonymous. I am very happy that I have flatboard and it is still a very cool and easy to manage forum. Thank you.

Would this be a feature in the new Flatboard 5 by chance? Seeing as we are moving to user accounts not just a signin string?
It is just a nice way to break up the front page - allowing better readability and functionality without spamming a tags list/and pointing users to vague categories.

Flatboard 5 won't have subforums, but it does have built-in tags.
I find it more interesting that even users can participate in sorting discussions without having to request a specific subforum.
