Observations and suggestions

--- I had better take some time off this site before I become some sort of volunteer (jill of all trades) Okay, perhaps you saw my "modest proposal" post. MaryMcc commented that I could try "Categories". I do recall using the Categories once (I think you guys have updated it since then ??) and finding it inútil. Now, it has different problems.
(1) The categories should, if at all possible, all appear in short format on one page

(you all probably know these things already but please bear with me!)

(2) They should be clearly separated (right now ... they kinda run together) (3) Users should click on a category to get titles of maybe five posts, click again to go into the entire category

(4) After visiting a post in a particular category, the user should be returned to the category - and not need to keep going from Q&A to Categories to the desired category after viewing each post

I have learned all this way back when fora were found only on the local area networks of big companies - it was part of my job :-b

Maybe you can add a tab on the Q&A page - "Closed Threads" (or a category...uhh, maybe not, too many already) to include all the ... closed threads, duplicate posts, "content deleted" offensive stuff, etc.?

I absolutely do approve of many of the site format updates! It looks cleaner, modern and simpler - way to go, folks! :->

Thanks Lector, I have edited your title as 'observations' is missing a letter. Great post! - martha-sd, Feb 15, 2012

Thanks for your feedback Lector! We'll absolutely take it under consideration when we next work on the design of the Q&A page.

We'd also love to hear from anyone else with ideas. Thank you for your contributions and feedback.
