Forum Suggestion - Ability to place in multiple forums

My thoughts are that this would create a mess. The problem is with the replies.

If you have multiple threads in different forums, it becomes impossible to read and consolidate all the pertinent replies. Some replies would be in one thread, while others would be in another.

It is best to choose the primary topic and post your question, problem, idea in the appropriate forum.

I would agree with Rich on this one.  I am not personally a fan of sponsors who post to multiple forums with the same topic as it is.  It clogs up the "Recent Posts" column with redundant information in my opinion.

I didn't mean to duplicate the post, but rather the post is accessible/visible/tagged to different forums.  Jonathan, in your example, the sponsors that post to different forums (the backdrop one comes to mind) - they wouldn't need to post the same content 5+ times, they would simply make a single post and tag it to multiple forums.  I agree that you wouldnt want to see a single post clogging up the recent posts section. 

What good does "tagging" a single post to multiple fora do?  Is there someplace I can look to see what non-posted ideas are "tagged" to a particular forum I'm looking at?

It seems as if @Rich Melvin thinks this is a request for post duplication in each OGR FORUM, and that would result in the mess he is rightly wanting to avoid. However, I have seen many forums layouts where a single TOPIC/POST can be a child of multiple FORUMS and not distinctly cloned/duplicated across the FORUMS. The same thread and same replies would be seen irrespective of which parent FORUM was navigated through. And ideally it would only show once in the Recent Posts pane. This is what I think the original ask of @JD2035RR is and I would be in favor of as I have seen it work out well elsewhere.

Getting back to the OP's question, the answer is no.  All that we ask is to determine to the best of your ability the main subject of your post/thread and then put it in the category/sub-forum that best fits.  We realize there are gray areas and frankly have been looking at making some changes for the past many months, but other more pressing administrative needs for the forum have pushed to the front of the line.
