Questions Category Selection.
Hello Heidita and Eddy. You guys used to been irritated with people placing questions in the wrong category. I hope the people who modified the web site are still around. What I would suggest to them is to make a slight modifications to ASK A QUESTION button. After one clicks on it, he/she should be asked to make a category selection before they can continue.
I did some rudimentary HTML programming and I know that no change is as simple as one might think. Also, a tiny mistake can blow up the whole site. I guess I am just as interested in the site's healt and functioning as learning Spanish. (For me, working with logics comes easier.)

HI Zoltán, this is a great idea, but I think not feasible.
I can see this happen all the time on other forums too which have been on the web for ages. As it seems, it is a problem not easy to solve.
And yes, rather dreary, I am changing categories all the time. 
That sounds like a great idea. I guess you are suggesting that people compose their questions without even noticing the category box. By doing that, they are inadvertently placing their questions in the wrong category. I guess it would make sense to have everyone focus on the category "before" they submit their questions.

I think that's the case with most people; they don't even notice the category box.
There are number of well established members here who you can trust with a minor none intrusive task like moving messages into the proper category. They could do it while you sleep. 
This could be possible only if chores like that can be separated from the "ultimate" power of being an administrator.
Please refresh my memory, when we switched from the WR format to this friendlier one, were not about a half dozen members asked to become administrators including myself. Whatever it was, I did not considered myself qualified so I did not volunteered.
