I sure hope so!Are there going to be separate forums for the iPad and the mini?
Just wondering really!
I sure hope so!
Currently, have them together is quite confusing.
It's just two products that are pretty similar...
Yet, what would it hurt to have them seperated?
A larger forum homepage, debatable speed changes, and confusion over what is where, and how things overlap. More work for moderators who then have to keep threads in their respective forums. Mods have enough work to do to bother with separating iPad Mini threads from iPad 3rd gen threads.
If anything maybe a prefix for thread titles
That's exactly what we've done - as of just a few minutes ago, you must choose a prefix in the iPad Accessories and general iPad forum before you can start a new thread. The choices are [iPad], [iPad Mini], and [All iPads].
It's possible to search within in a forum based on a given prefix, so for example those wanting to see all the iPad Mini threads in the Accessories forum will be able to do so.
Man, that forum is a disaster and hard to read now. The prefix needs to be the same size or removed.
iPad
Mini
Both
If you're looking for threads with a certain prefix, just use the search function (Search -> Advanced Search -> Find threads with prefix, and choose the forum you want to search). You'll get a list with only threads you're interested in.

The mini doesn't need it's own sub-forum. Other than size, there isn't enough to differentiate it from its big brother. Heck the iPhone still uses one section. I can understand why the MacBooks and iPods needed their own subforum though. The mini doesn't quite need one.
