Bring back all the input device posts to the Input Device forum please

It's a travesty that all the input hardware posts were stripped out of the Input Hardware forum and instedead buried among hundreds/thousands of super lame posts about RAM  and processors. Basic computer hardware has almost nothing in common with joysticks and other input devices which were ironically perfectly at home when they were found in a forum titled Input Devices

Fully agree, has been driving me a bit nuts. Some very valuable threads going to get lost in the mess.

doubtful, as no one does sequential search when looking for information, almost everyone uses a search instead rendering the thread location irrelevant.

No most people decide which threads to read by perusing them on the first page. They look for ones that interest them, not necessarily through the search function. Or i guess I could be the only one who does.

Yup, for a game that is so reliant on input devices, to not have a dedicated input devices forum any more feels a bit lost 😞

Input hardware, and home cockpits were the two main forums I visited.

Its a PITA that input hardware is merged with general PC hardware. Previously active threads seem to be complete dead now.

And instead of trying to make it better, they go and make it even worse...

What do you expect? Last time they made a mess of the layout, introducing a ridiculous number of hierarchy levels which make navigation a pain. Now they're digging even further, making the input devices board lose several good threads. Oh, and the search function is garbage, too. Everything they did to the forum since the so called "upgrade" is a travesty.

I couldn't help but notice the Russian forum never got any "upgrades" the English one did. Maybe it's time to admit it's horrible and revert everything to the way it was. It didn't look like much, but it was very usable. But that would require the forum administration to admit they didn't know what they were doing when they put it in, and that couldn't happen.

Searching turns up so much that it becomes more confusing than helpful

A separate area is more logical 

cheers
