Before I get flamed I know this isn't a 'bike related' post but why are there so many non-bike related posts in here? Isn't the 'chat forum' there for those type of posts?

If people are in 'overview' when they start a new thread it appears in 'Bike' by default

I think it's simply the fact the default forum, when posting via the forum overview page, is set to the bike forum.

Unless you manually change it, you're going to have a brand new thread in the bike forum. Whether you want it there or not.

Edit: This post was not only too late, but featured the word 'forum' waaaaay too many times.

Does it really matter? Its not like anyone is forcing you to read them. Besides, you're missing out if you only go to bike related stuff!

If someone lets the Moderators know, it's something we can change. Use the Report Post function, or email the mods and we'll get it swapped if it's been put in the wrong one by accident.
