I realize that a discussion item is really a folder, but is it possible to organize the Discussion board with top level folders and then discussions within those folders?

Hi tomkmvp, Based on the content type hierarchy, items within discussion list are actually folders and replies to each topic are items in that folder. It means that SharePoint actually organize discussion board items as folders. Please let me know if I misunderstand you. Thanks & Regards.

Hi, You can add a folder through SP Designer but the problem is you still CAN'T see it on dicussion page. If you really need it you can create a link in Quick Menu and add the url of the folder to that link. That way your folder works. allan
