SMELTN Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I think everything looked fine as is, but I can understand the consolidation. I do think the gaming needs to be in Hobby and Recreation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charisma Veteran Posted May 26, 2010 Veteran Share Posted May 26, 2010 As a new user, I'll disagree that anything was overwhelming before... I thought it was nicely structured. But this is good too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRosenfeld Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 In my opinion a big mistake to combine all Windows versions, especially XP and Vista/win 7 which are sufficiently different to often require different solutions to problems. I mostly looked through the XP forum as that is the OS I use and am familiar with. I don't want to have to wade through a lot of Win 7 posts, all the more so that posters don't always specify which Windows version they have in the title, so I'm wasting my time opening up threads that are not relevant to me.

I didn't even notice they did that. Ouch. I agree with you, that will get very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasethebase Reporter Posted May 26, 2010 Reporter Share Posted May 26, 2010 I didn't even notice they did that. Ouch. I agree with you, that will get very annoying. As long as threads are properly tagged before being posted it shouldn't be an issue. Unless getting around this would be having it like so... - Windows Discussion -- Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 -- Windows Vista/Server 2008 -- Previous Windows Versions Just as an example here.

Shaun N. Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I assume the pinned threads from the merged sections will be snipped. We currently have 2 "Is your thread in the right place" in the Mac General section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We currently have 2 "Is your thread in the right place" in the Mac General section Yeah, that definitely looks like a mistake. I'm sure a mod will take care of that. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futura Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 One thing I am still wondering about is why Cursors, Icons & (Animated) Wallpapers is under Windows Customization. Pardon me if this has been asked before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I agree with this .. the Windows section looks a bit odd to me at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardon me if this has been asked before. Maybe they should have renamed it to "Customization". That way it would include all OSes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted May 28, 2010 Author Administrators Share Posted May 28, 2010 Maybe they should have renamed it to "Customization". That way it would include all OSes. Good point, I merged all the customization forums (from Mac & Linux) and moved it to Help & Discussion Center as one topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syanide Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Good point, I merged all the customization forums (from Mac & Linux) and moved it to Help & Discussion Center as one topic. I didn't notice any topics on what I'm about to ask, and sorry if it was discussed already, but my suggestion is that the topics (at least Mac and Linux ones) be tagged "[OS]" from now on, otherwise it could get messy trying to find your way through them all.

Roger H. Veteran Posted June 4, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 4, 2010 Aww man, when did you go to all in one Windows Client thing.... I wish it was just Windows 7, Vista and XP and Old versions like before. Tagging is good but it starts to become messy with too many tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
