Hi Michelle,
Thank you for the reply and the suggestion.
I’m not sure how well that would work for us in practical terms though. It would mean having to have an entire category for a portfolio/user, as opposed to just a topic, which means if we had sat a thousand people that wanted to do that we’d have a parent category with then a thousand sub-categories. I suspect this would then introduce some UX issues too as unless the users name was near the beginning of the alphabet they would potentially be doing a lot of scrolling, as would anyone else just passing through that wanted to look at someone else work.
There would be perhaps more overhead on creating all of those sub-categories too, as well as the ongoing maintenance of them.
I think I had envisaged the solution being topics-in-a-category.
For the time being I’ve shelved the idea as I don’t think Discourse would be the most suitable solution, not because of any limitations of the product, more because of my seemingly off the wall demands
