Yes, it's working well. I'll take some time working it out. Thanks for the help. I have made some posts in the past trying to explain what the forums are meant for. I'll paste them here for a ready reference.


 * "Hi! Iam ready to start with a basic forum. We have three different forums [Physics, Chemistry and Maths], each containing 20-25 sub-forums with the threads lying over there.


 * Basically I want to start a forum for highschool students and highschool Phy, Chem and Math have a lot of topics. This will call in for a lot of forums or atleast categorization of the questions topicwise on different pages. Doing otherwise can actually result in a hotch-potch.


 * With the topic wise sub-forum, I aim that the questions/discussions that are active are visible on top of the list and garner more attention. At the same time, this also fascilitates archiving [Imagine someone searching through the only forum for Physics for discussions on a very narrow topic!].


 * This is BEST for people who WANT to discuss a particular topic. For those with a general expertise, it'll be really good if on the page where we list the subforums we are able to put up a list of the 10 most recent topics. That'll actually help exchanging human resources between two sub forums or forums.


 * Yeah, so that is it. But I have no idea where this forum will go. Basically, I want to start a new course/module on wikiversity and for the time being make this forum the hundred percent of that course. Later I can extract useful content/mnemonics/graphs/data and diversify the wikiversity course."

This was on SB_Johnny's talk page. Plus there is some more discussion on http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:The_Highschool_Help_Forum_-_Science_Stream although that might not be needed right now. What I'm doing on forum watch is to create a working model of the highschool help forum, so that I can copy-paste the code later on. Thank you again!
