Some changes to the site layout

Post by JohnH »

With the closure of Billy Elliot the Musical in Australia and the official announcement of it opening in Chicago, the site team have been discussing the best way to accommodate this on the forum. We have agreed on the following plan:

Australia Section
This section will continue to be available. However, as the show has now closed we will be archiving 'Cast Leavers & Arrivals' and 'News & Gossip'. We will also merge 'Current Cast' & 'Former Cast' into a new 'Cast' forum.

We hope all our Australian members will continue to keep us updated with any new shows, etc the former cast are appearing in and continue to take an active part in this forum. Hopefully we will see Billy Elliot the Musical make a return to Australia in the not too distant future.

US Section
We realise that things could get a little bit confusing if both the New York and Chicago shows where discussed in the current US section. We will therefore rename the current US section to 'Billy Elliot - Broadway (New York)' and create a similar section called 'Billy Elliot - Chicago'

Other Changes
With the addition of the Chicago section and in order to try and keep the Board index tidy and easy to navigate, we will be removing the 'Future Shows' forum from each of the sections. There were very few threads in these forums and we felt that they where taking up valuable space on the Board index. The 'When are you going to see Billy next?' threads will be moved to the relevant 'Chat about Billy Elliot the Musical' forums. The 'Seating Plan' threads will be moved to the relevant 'Ticketing & Theatre Information' forums. These threads will also be made 'sticky' which will mean they will always be at the top of the list.

These changes will take place on Saturday evening and we do not envisage having to close the forum at any time during this change.
