Thanks to you, I am beginning to understand. Good job. However, I may not have described my objective sufficiently. For simplicity let me start over.
On a single site, I want a different forum for each of my main menu topics. I will give an exaggerated example. If I were to have a site called “Cars,” I might have a menu for GM with separate pages for Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, etc. And I might have a Ford menu with Ford models, etc. The Chevrolet page will begin with a certain amount of editorial content by me, and at the end of my editorial content (which may continue for several pages), I would like the Chevrolet forum to begin or at least have a link to a child page where this forum is located. The Buick, Cadillac, and Ford pages should have the same format—e.g. Buick editorial pp. followed by the Buick forum, Cadillac content followed by the Cadillac forum, etc. The user who finishes reading about Fords, for example, might next go a top menu called “Nissan” or its submenu, “Nissan Forum.”
Maybe at some point I would want a single page listing all the different forums with hotlinks to them. Your note about creating a GM page would seem to embody this idea, which is clever.
Meanwhile, however, can I list only one forum at a time? Users who read about Chevrolets should find only the Chevrolet forum at the end the pages that appear after the user clicks a top menu called “Chevrolet.” But links to all my forums automatically appear together when I want, say, only the Chevrolet forum to be shown. If I have 70 car models and 70 car forums, I would not want to list all 70 forum links every time that one finishes reading about a particular car.
I know how to create child pages if that is what you would recommend, but how can I avoid the repetitious listing of all the forums or else stick this information in a button? A button to the effect “See other forums,” in fact, might have merit as a table of contents to the all the other forums—similar to your GM page.
