local community setting

TCVadmin
I was wondering if there are examples of a forum in use that is for a local community ( your city,county) . I am used to having my forum organized with categories and the actual forums under it, then if needed sub forums under that. I think it can go one more level deeper.  It would be a big help to me.

Have a look at mine. There will be much more available when Nabble get their NAML coding ready... if you are brave enough to use it...

I think you may be thinking of a MIXED application.

I have an example at:
http://seahawk-forum.968426.n3.nabble.com/
(It's a boating site rather than a locality/community site, but the top-level application is MIXED and most of the sub-forums a FORUMs, though there is now one sub-sub-forum that is a customised GALLERY. )

Others Administrators do something similar with a CATEGORY or BOARD application at the top level. (The CATEGORY application can be particularly useful for some as it places a sub-forum's Description field under the name of the sub-forum when you view the top level application.)

You ask can a Nabble forum look like this one:
http://forums.talkcachevalley.com/

Yes. Make your top-level application CATEGORY, prevent posting at that level  and create a set of FORUMS as sub-forums in which posting is allowed.

I have this on the outer-most layer of my other website...use the breadcrumb to get there... not sure why.

I have used 'mixed' here as Greg has discussed...
Select Options, from menu line > Application > Change Application Type > Select Mixed, and Save.

Oh... I have just changed the other one now too.

That is good because my 'Handy websites' topic is clearly there at the top now where it will be most helpful...

It's all just experimenting and seeing what happens at the moment... when NAML is running, then #?/!*&#??*&.
