The correct order need to be like this:
There was some problem with this I’ve already noted and escalated to Waze. If you go through the hierarchy, it’s not really there, but something is making it think it is. There is something really wrong with Malaysia that is causing the forum to think it has subforums which aren’t really there.
What alerted me initially to there being some corruption is that if you drill through Asia->Malaysia->Requests for AM, there will be an “empty” forum at the top which I can’t explain. http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=279
Thanks. Also, it shows under Asia not Europe. I guess that’s also because of Malaysia?
Yes. Turkey isn’t inside any regional subforum yet. It still shows in the main Country subforum as it hasn’t been moved. The breadcrumbs at the top should always match what you click through and right now, several countries do not, which I cannot explain at all. :?
All of a sudden, I’m getting es.waze.com forum updates as well
This supposedly small and innocuous change has turned into a clusterf***. I’ve given as much info to Waze as I can and they are going to need to work on the back-end to fix what looks like some corruption/mixed forum pointer references. I’ve got no idea.
Alan, another one for the forum in the wrong place list:
“Board index ‹ Country (Language) Forums ‹ Asia ‹ Malaysia ‹ Requests for new Area Manager ‹ Americas and Caribbean” but if you go into any of the sub forums there, the breadcrumbs are correct.
I understand you’re not pointing fingers at me directly, but I’m upset the existing issues were exacerbated by moving things around today.
Austria & Germany is somewhere below Asia and also directly (as Link?) in the wrong alphabetical order
Edit: Just found that all Countries seem to have a link going below Asia :oops: :shock:
- if you click on Norway its
Country (Language) Forums ‹ Asia ‹ Malaysia ‹ Requests for new Area Manager ‹ Norway - if you click on Italy its
Country (Language) Forums ‹ Asia ‹ Malaysia ‹ Requests for new Area Manager ‹ Italy
and so on …
I’m not complaining in any way - I know that re-organisation is underway and the forum structure is somewhat borked due to no fault of ours - but I thought I’d share the current breadcrumb trail for the UK forum:
:shock:
It is an issue with the country language forums only. Waze app, community, and other ones are working fine.
I love the new streamlined forum structure and appreciate the hard work all y’all are doing to make it better. Hang in there.
That is Alan getting some free time :lol:
Completed to date:
- New Here? Go here first forum created (currently hidden)
- Client forum renamed to Waze App
- User Live Reports and Road Validation merged into Waze App forum
- Beta renamed to App Beta Testing
- waze champs forum renamed to Waze Global Champs
- Regional subforums created under Country (language) forums. (These are needed to reduce scrolling the global country list)
- US Regional forums created
- US Unlock/Update Requests forum created
Alan, I was talking to jemay about one of the sub forums with a suggestion. His moderator controls do not appear to let him do what we think is possible, so let me propose it here and we can find an alternate solution.
Problem:
- When a new forum reader starts drilling into the US forums, they may think they need to go all the way down to their state to post a question.
- When a new forum reader comes to the US forum they may post a question at the US level, when it should be in the subforums for a region or a state.
Proposal:
An announcement thread (or at least a forum sticky) for all US forums and subforums (all the way down to the state forums) with basic guidelines for when to post at each of the levels. The post would be identical for all the forums, so hopefully there is a way to make one post appear in all sub forums below it.
Now if this is currently posted somewhere, I have not run across it so likely other less OCD forum followers will also not see it (and we already discussed how much I am spending here in the forums at the disgust of other members of my family. :mrgreen: )
I think free phpBB boards have a terrible layout compared to Vbulletin but they also cost $249 for the licsense.

This main forums reorg is now complete. Mostly followed the OP with the following exceptions:
- Former Map->Editing->Help when Waze… (3 forums) moved to Waze App->Navigation & Routing
- An ‘* Issues and Requests’ subforum in Waze App, Waze Map Editor, and Website, Community, General forums to collect issues (not necessarily bugs) and requests for those areas. Named for easy viewing in Tapatalk as well.
- Country (language) forums moved up in the view to promote local forum usage.
Looks very good. 
Well done and thank you for your hard work on this.
It looks like the forum software failed again. It has created a circular reference for the Country (language) forums and the Latin America subforum.
I will let Waze know there is still untangling to do. I don’t think this should have happened if all the corruption had been totally fixed.

Country Language Forum I can’t see it. Did we loose it again ?
