Hi Donny,

Nope, it currently just has one list that combines everything. In the future sometime I'd like to add something like "tags" that could be assigned to posts so you could look at different groupings by tag but it will probably be quite a while before I'll be able to put in any work on that.

That can be good for reviewing things later, but it actually has a negative effect on the initial discussion itself because discussions then get squirreled away and hidden from a lot of people's view initially.

The "just a list of posts" type method is better for making the initial discussion itself more lively, right now the forum organization is sort of more tuned along those lines.
