In my community we have a very large FAQ. To make each question more easily accessible (for linking), we have broken it down into separate topics in a FAQ subcategory (it’s part of the “learning” top-level category). Here’s what it looks like now, with the Air Theme and Categories Navbar component. …

[תמונה] stephtara: add direct access to subcategories in the navbar through a dropdown Since that’s a separate component, you’d likely need to ask on the component’s topic. [תמונה] stephtara: display the topics in “full-text” mode, on desktop as well as mobile, so that people can just sc…

[תמונה] ToddZ: Otherwise I might have suggested a single topic with Table of Contents enabled. Then the whole thing would be scrollable, but also easy to navigate to section headings. I think disco-toc still works per post. I thought of this, too; it’s actually what I created on another Disco…
