Klaus, Markus,
Would you maybe consider moving these test categories to their own category? IOW, make these forums rather than subforums? Maybe make a category "Equipment Tests", or even just move them a level up, and call "Lenses" "Lens discussions" or something like that, and move these to appear below the current "Lenses" forum?
Personally, I think it is a pain now to see what is going on where.
Kind regards, Wim

As of now these forums are "sticky" - you can't post any messages there simply because I believe that there's not a sufficient amount of traffic at this stage. The "Lenses" forum is still meant for open discussions. If this works out the manufacturer-specific forums will be opened up for general use - that would be the gold solution, of course.
I'm clueless whether this is all a good idea. If it doesn't turn out the threads will be migrated back to "Lenses" so there's little to loose.
As already pointed out you can just observe the "dot" at the forum name. If it's green then there's a new message. Black indicates that there's nothing new (assuming that you've marked the forum as "read" - there's a link at the top right where you can do that).
