How to make a new category

How do I make a new category (not thread) on the talk forum? Under "Sporting events" there are only two categories (Wimbledon, World Cup). We need to add one for Cricket.

I don't think you can make one yourself. You have to ask MNHQ.

Imagine if just anyone could make a category. There would be carnage Grin

That's what I thought! How do I ask MNHQ @iklboo?

I would be interested in something similar to the pets section with the most popular sports having a topic and then 'other sports' to mop up the rest. @MNHQ is this possible?

Start a thread in 'site stuff' perhaps?

They got rid of load of topics about a year ago though.

We also need one for rugby / Six Nations!

RedEagles15 · 14/02/2021 19:04

Yes I would like rugby/six Nations and ice hockey but I accept ice hockey is likely to have to fall under 'other sports' if it gets anything

Can we have ones for darts and snooker too please 🎯 🎱

It's a sporting events section, not sports discussion generally - there are various sports topics already for exercise, cycling, weightlifting etc, all scattered around MN in some unfathomable system which I've never been able to figure out. I think it's just to encourage all posters not to actually use the right topic.

So it seems there is a "Sports" category under "Fun and Games", but not separate categories for specific spectator sports. @MNHQ can we please have separate categories, perhaps for the most popular spectator sports (cricket, football, rugby, tennis... I think) and also an "other" category for less popular ones like ice hockey, badminton etc ? These categories would be for discussions on professional sports matches ONLY, not personal things like "My DS is trying to decide whether to join his school's football team or not".

For now I will start a Cricket thread under "Fun and Games" --> "Sports". Interested to discuss the current England-India Test matches!
