  • Q Restriction on Web bug?

    they also are setup in a messy fashion. you take all the various msg net
    ubs
    and combine them.

    Aside from sysops, when users go looking for a message area to ask a
    question in, do you think they do it by topic or by network?

    I do have users. The only regular user here who is a sysop is me. The
    rest are not sysops. The board is set up in a logical way for users.
    As best as I can tell, they don't care what network a message area is a
    part of so long as it has traffic and isn't full of assholes.

    I get what you are trying to do. it's just messy how you did it.
    it doesn't work. tradional users will be confused because it's not something they are used to, new users will be confused because it's so convoluted.

    Did you ASK your users? perhaps you need to have it organized by network and then have an option to send them to 'computer help' msg subs. it's easy to do

    YOU think it's a logical way for users. it probably confuses them.
    go ahead and do what you want to do, you obviously can't take sincere criticism.

    hah good luck with that.
