The subject of splitting / merging topics (
which is done purely in the interests of clarity and ease of future reference) was touched upon during our Coffee Shop planning meeting in Westbury today.
Just catching up with this particular topic, paul7755 has described exactly why there is no option to start a new topic
on this particular board: any new topics may be started on either of the new boards.
Unfortunately, as I do any such splitting in my 'spare time', it sometimes doesn't get completed as soon as I'd like - but this is a timely reminder that I need to complete this particular task.
Chris.
