About changes in my forum scructure ...

[barroca]

Hello,
I need to change the structure of a forum - changing all the categories and moving several forums to match new visualization.

Ok, I know that this will greatly affect the index in the first instance,

What do I need to know is what is least bad, so to say, it is focusing the new forums, and use many prefixes, or whether it is better to let many forums, with less use of prefixes.

To put it another way: what is worse for indexing, subforuns or prefixes?

Thanks in advance

When it comes to forum structure as in pre-fixes / subforums personally I think your concentration should be on what is best for your community, what would be the best for usability?

Pre-fixes have no baring on SEO good / bad, having less subforums will mean less pages more content on each page. This will ultimately mean that each page has a higher baring of the link weight etc so on a SEO factor I would think you are better having prefixes and less subforums but again usability should be #1 concern.
