Well your description of electronic/hardware included computer setup, which computer help pretty much covers. If we let them separate, 1) They would need to be one after each other in the boards order and we would need to eliminate any mention of computer setup from the hardware section. Otherwise computer building topics will keep being spread accross both sections.

Another thing: Shouldn't the gaming board be moved in here? We would have an entire computer section altogether and I think it would make more sense since it includes consoles/computer games, and right now it's quite lonely in terms of discussion theme in the misc section.

Yeah gaming should be in there.
When I mentioned setup In hardware/electronics I meant how the hardware is setup. Things like computer specs.
I currently don't do much, but I am a developer for a game you should totally try out called AssaultCube Reloaded download here https://assaultcuber.codeplex.com/

Ah ok. The issue though is that certain computer failures and error messages are caused by setup misconfigs or broken hardware, so I think maybe we should have computer help then another sub-forum for other type of technology discussion.

On a side note eventually it would be nice for the New Posts list to maybe have color codes or small 10x10 icons to the right of each board names. It would make it much easier to access each section. It might be problematic for title lenghts, though...
