Sandbox has slipped to the bottom?

Why was the Sandbox moved? It's now the only technical forum that's separated from the others by non-technical forums (i.e. "Test..." and "Support..."). (If I were the Forum Czar, it would be at the top, to catch non-Propeller posts that end up there just because it's the first forum in the list. Doing so would save the moderators a lot of work. Now it's even harder to spot than before.)

    Phil,

    Not sure why that happened. I will look into it and see if we need to make any adjustments.

    That must have happened when we added the Sensors fora to the list this morning. Where is the Sandbox supposed to be, and I'll get it back to its correct slot.

    Now that I know it wasn't intentional I have corrected the issue. Everything should be normal now. Take care.

    Forum is singular, fora is plural (like datum and data).

    Ahh, I see that spell checker didn't save me on this one. At least the Sandbox was promoted from the cellar - thanks Chris.

    I mentioned this in the sensors welcome thread, but I'll mention it here.

    A logical order (to my mind at least) is the following:

    Propeller
    BS
    SX
    Javalin
    Stamps in Class
    Hydra
    Robotics
    Sensors
    Sandbox
    Completed Projects
    Support
    Test

    This way, it groups the microcontrollers together, then the specific applications, then the general forums, and then support.

    I like SRLM's suggestion but I'd recommend Sandbox being first since its a catch-all and the microcontrollers being ordered according to difficulty programming or the order of their creation.

    BS
    Javalin
    SX
    Prop

    Or (If I understand the dates properly):

    BS
    SX
    Javalin
    Prop
