Does anyone else find navigating PistonHeads, Non-intuitive, maze-like structure a real PITA?
Nope, it's straightforward and easy for me, and I've been a member for over 16 years now.Can you describe the "maze like structure" as I don't understand what you are actually referring to?
I see the OP has got lost again. To be fair to him this post did start out in BMW before being moved and now it’s in website feedback so he is probably looking in the wrong place.
Out of all the forums I go on, piston heads is one of the cleaner forums. It used to have very few sub forums so everything was in one place. If you want to travel back in time go to the archive at the bottom of the forum list.
OP simple rules to follow. Web site feedback should go in the “Web site feedback” forum. BMW related topics should go In the BMW forum.
The “lounge” is for general topics and “News, Politics and economics” is for extreme view points. “Speed plod and the law” is for when you have fked up but want people to tell you what you want to hear and not actual law. “Super cars general” is for when you think a Lamborghini Urus is discreet. “Holidays and travel” is now mostly historical reference information due to COVID. “Pedal powered” is a documentation of Johnny’s tattoos from multiple angles and nothing to do with actual photographs of today’s rides.
The most important rule is, avoid the “Watches” forum. Step into this world and then wake up 10 years later and you have a wolf watch box with multiple pieces that don’t get wrist time due to not being part of the rotation and you are falling behind on mortgage payments.

How would you structure it?Johnnytheboy said:
How about like Facebook, where it puts the same threads at the top visit after visit, because its algorithm has decided they are what you want to read most?
FRO, just use what's new and mystuff. Then navigate to particular forums as needed.Make your own choice what to interact with not some algorithm coded by some chimp interested in the latest macrame pattern
