Forum suggestion -- filtering by buttons

On the entry into the new Winboard forum, we are greeted with a choice of several areas of interest. (I enter here:
http://wbforum.volker-pittlik.name/
Not sure if there are any other alternatives).

Rather than having to visit them one at a time, I would like to see an entry with all of the posts. Then, if you want to limit the choices, click a button that shows only programming posts or only tournament posts or something of that nature.

Perhaps we could have a checkbox at the bottom of posts to classify them for people who go in under the general area.

I do not know how this forum software works, so I do not know if it can be configured in the manner that I suggest.

You can enter with this link http://volker-pittlik.name/wbforum/sear ... d=newposts which will display all posts since you last visited. Or you can continue to enter the way you are and click on the link in the top right had corner that does the same thing.
