    Not trying to make any sort of referendum starement here but I'm not really crazy about finding the UK Section under the Europe Umbrella. Sort of makes us invisible now.

    Come on guys, Canada contributes way more to the world of beer than Europe does.

    IF they wanted to tidy it up, they could have kept it as it was but merged non-european/NA areas into "Rest of the World", given that the total number of posts in those areas is less than even just the UK and German ones on their own.

    It's especially odd considering the differences in traditional beer cultures of the european nations is far greater than that of the different US regions

    Oh well

    Yeah makes no sense. Several recent changes seem to disincentivize non-US member activity.

    You guys caught us mid-change. The goal is to provide a more unified European forum with a cleaner user flow. It was fragmented before and caused a lot of misplaced posts and dead forums.

    Now you can see all of Europe (like a Euro "Beer Talk"), search it, or click on a filter prefix to narrow things down. It's also highly flexible and will allow us to easily add new prefixes as discussions for certain countries within Europe grow; like Italy, which was added last week.

    We'll be applying this logic to other forums soon too; like an International trade forum.

    • Opened the store up to international customers
    • Started to ship BA mag internationally again
    • Created a better European forum + more to come
    • Working on adding international trading forums as weeding through all of the US trades is cumbersome
    Yeah. We're basically killing off support for international users. :astonished:

    Closing this one down as @Zimbo's concerns no longer apply; they were made pre-completion of the update.
