I'm happy to consider giving the continents of the world the same status as the USA. I want folks to have the best member experience possible, and if we can do that thru gentle software tweaks, will do so.

I would appreciate whoever is interested, looking at all the top tier categories under "rest of world" and suggesting how to structure them. For example, there's Cuba and Caribbean that should not be given the same status as Europe and Asia, but then where would they go? I'd be inclined to give Canada and Mexico top tier status, as most of North America is the US which has its own separate section.

Thoughts, please.

As an aside, I'm about to rename the Scandinavia forum "the Nordic countries". The description spoke of the Nordic countries. People were posting their questions about Finland there. A member yesterday was rbping all of them, suggesting they be moved to the Europe forum. That's one solution; yet I think that most are apt to think of the northern countries together. By renaming the Scandinavia forum, it will reflect what actually resides there.
