Making the Message Board work.........

Making the Message Board work.........

When people browse this board they are confronted with a list of thread topics, which, if they spark an interest/curiosity, will be clicked-on and read.

Makes sense, don't it?

Now, what strikes me as odd/strange/weird/pointless are the thread 'topics' such as....

'Help'...[that's a given]

'I have a question'.....[obviously]

'A little help'....[not TOO much]

'how to do it'....[we talkin' sex, again?]

or

'stupid newbie question'...[a question FOR a 'stupid newbie' perhaps?]

These, and several others probably really don't attract the attention that is 'wanted', because they aren't even lead-ins to the problem, except maybe to show a poor handling of a request for assistance....[so THAT'S the problem]...

It would be cleverererer to clarify the 'subject'....like...."Help, WB won't auto-load"....then in the body of the thread go into more detail.
As is the case with some of these threads, you 'almost' expect....
'Help!!!!'
[then in the thread]
'I'm being held captive by three-toed sloths in the Amazon rain-forest....who won the Soccer?'

I think you get my drift....

It seems that the same questions get asked repeatedly. I wonder if their is a way to datamine the message board. Wow, I thought I'd never get to use the phrase datamine in a sentence. Except "WTF is datamine?"

crae, datamine is a fancy term for extracting useful information from vast amounds of data.

How about putting the threads in topic catagories. Newbies, Off Topic, Skinning, Wish List, whatever? Then there would be threads in those topics. A lot of forums are set up this way and one can navigate easily. Just a thought!
