We currently have two major headings for our regional forums:

• USA
• World

When FlyerTalk was formed, it was predominantly an American board. Putting the USA alone and pushing all other countries into "world" reflected that. That's not the case today. We are genuinely an international board. A significant volume of readership comes from outside the US. Members have made valid points here and elsewhere about respecting our international diversity. It is my goal to do that by going more to a regional structure in alphabetical order.

Everything below is an existing forum; it simply is a reordering in hopes of making them easier to find. I welcome feedback on this structure:

• Africa
• Antartica
• Americas
  ----Canada
  ----Caribbean
  ----Central America
  ----Cuba
  ----Mexico
  ----South America
  --------Argentina
  --------Brazil
• America - USA
  ----Current forums in current order
• Asia
  ----China
  ----Hong Kong
  ----India
  ----Japan
  ----Singapore
  ----Thailand
• Europe (closed to posting at this level)
  ----Europe
  ----European Rail Travel
  ----France
  ----Germany
  ----Italy
  ----Nordic Countries
  ----Russia
  ----U.K. and Ireland
• Middle East
• Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific Islands)

My desire is that we naturally guide people to where they can find information or post their question. If you feel there are gaps in country coverage, please start a new thread and make your case to Talkboard.
