Description

We have quite big (game) project in Redmine. The project has different faces/areas like sound (music, acks, fx, audio for videos and cut-scenes), game design (map design, map making, map programming, experiments, playability testing and improvements), programming (...), etc. And we also have people working in different countries and using different languages.

The point is that we need a lot of different forums (in one project). We can do it now, but currently it's a mess. And it would be very nice to get these forums organized in groups with subforums, instead of having 20-30 of them on the same page (which isn't a problem) and along the exact same vertical line (which is much bigger problem because it is so much difficult to see the structure).

Even the most basic functionality (to have subforums and to distinguish them by simple increased indents) would suffice. Of course you could always improve this feature:
- to have an option to have parent as either an independent forum (like can is done now) or a group of subforums without its own messages.
- to have a relationship of forums to be better distinguished by using graphics icons or lines or whatever (some examples of how subforums are done in other forums: http://forums.b2evolution.net/, http://forums.gentoo.org/ , http://forum.joomla.org/ , http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php )
- to have different kind of functionality to change how the subforums/forums act

But that's all just a cherry on top of the cake. I would be very happy to get the most basic functionality (like is shown in the attached example) - that would be absolutely enough for my purposes!
