Francesco, Xavier, Gerard...
The expert help, information and photographs on this web site are really wonderful. What I suggest is a lot of work, but would it be possible to have sub-sections under Lamiinae (like Lamiini, Mesosini) and Cerambycinae, either based on geography or tribal affiliation? Likewise, to search the holotype photos for a species from Vietnam (or somewhere else) requires a lot of time. With one or two thousand messages being posted per year, it will really be helpful. I'm sure you have considered this, but I suppose it is a lot of work.

Dear Dan,
Yes, I see, but it would need a lot of work, and personnaly, I have no time for that. With the function " search", I find or refind what I look for. The main problem is for species without ID.
For helping, we could add the tribe name to the next post ?

Is it different for the "type" section ? : if we create sub-sections for genus, I am not sure that pictures will be more "visible" . If you do not know what genus you look for, the problem remain the same...

Create a large galery is a dream : now, there are thousands pictures on the forum. For extraction, formatting, storage, name, links, it is a full-time job !

It' s only my point of view, let's wait the other guys

In many groups, tribes are changing quite frequently; genera even more frequently.
Probably, everything you can do is make (obligatory?) field for new posts - Tribe & Region. But what if the author of the post has no idea...?

To me, the most logical way is to organize a collection of unknown specimens or photographs is by region and then by relation, since most of the specialists in the world are focused on a particular area. After they are identified, then they can be organized by phylogeny, of course. I started this topic because I have a lot of unidentified species from China, Philippines and elsewhere which I can place to tribe or genus. I believe many of the Philippine species have been posted already, but it takes a long time to search. And they are small species, too, which I can't photograph.

Dear friends,

I am trying to reorganize the Forum.
Now, we can insert the tribes... all will be more complicated and we risk to lose us...but we can try!

Tu peux déjà déplacer chez les tribus dont j'ai fait le Forum... mais il faudra avoir d'autre collaborateurs...

Generally, we wrote the tribe in the topic, ...so I think it is quite the same.

N'étant plus en activité, j'ai un peu de temps libre...
Si je peux être utile il suffit de m'expliquer....

new arrangement is catastrophic
There are few prioninae and dispatch them is unuseful.
This kind of arrangement is good for a classification, not for a forum.
old one was good

s'il n'y pas de solution c'est qu'il n'y a pas de problème ! akuna matata ....

Le rangement des Priones par tribus (même si tu les juges non-valides) ne change rien à la fonction "recherche". En clair, si tu recherches une espèce de Chine dans la sous-famille Prioninae, elle ressortira pour peu que le terme "Chine " est présent dans le post.
Je ne vois rien de catastrophique; inutile, peut-être (mais l'usage nous le dira).

Autre exemple d'un vaste groupe : les Glenea. Elles ressortiront à la recherche de la même manière qu'elles soient dans la sous-section Lamiinae ou Saperdini....si le terme "glenea" est écrit quelque part dans le post.

Pour prolonger la discussion, rien n'empêche de conserver la section "unsorted Prioninae" pour les espèces à position taxonomique douteuse.

Bravo pour le travail, qui va dans le sens d'une bien meilleure commodité d'utilisation, même si pour certains groupes où les tribus sont en pleine évolution/révolution, figer ainsi une classification peut gêner!

Ceci dit, et c'est un débat classique, je ne trouve pas très pratique le classement des tribus dans l'ordre "taxonomique" et pas l'ordre alphabétique.

Je pense qu'à l'usage, on va vite s'y retrouver.

Vu le nombre de post à reclasser, je me demande dans quoi on s'est embarqué
