Nicholas Barry Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I think that just like the LensWork Forum, the Help and Feedback forum needs to be renamed to reflect that nature of this board. Currently in the Unified view there are at least three messages under the Help and Feedback rubrick that have nothing to do with photo.net as a web site and have everything to do with which equipment to buy or how to print negatives. Perhaps a renaming to "photo.net Web Site Help and Feedback"? Or "Help and Feedback for Administration of photo.net"? Those are probably too long but you get my point (I hope). I know it's probably being anal-retentive to ask this, but LensWork went though the same issues and renamed. I don't think they've had nearly as many unrelated messages since the change.

Nicholas Barry Posted September 13, 2002 Author Share Posted September 13, 2002 I will also add that I view the posts to "Help and Feedback" as honest mistake by those that are new to photo.net. The real problem is more that non-web site related questions won't be answered. I'd be willing to bet there are far fewer people reading "Help and Feedback" than read the general, unarchived forum, leading to a disservice to those that ask the question.

hal_bissinger Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Well, I don't know. When you go to post a question in that forum it says:<p>"This forum is for questions, suggestions, criticisms, complaints, or just comments on the photo.net site itself, its user interface, and its mechanics. "It [this] is not a general Help forum. If your question relates to photography, camera equipment, etc, please place it in another forum. If your question relates to photo.net itself, this is the right place." <p>You can't be any more specific than that. OK, what the heck, rename it to <u>Photo.net Help and Feedback</u> but I don't think it will help the brain dead who don't bother to read instructions.

carl smith Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I'm with Hal here. Excuse me for being crude, but the idiots will be idiots. You can change it to "Photo.net forum for Help and Feedback involving this website, not photography. You ninny." and I still doubt people will recognize it.

Nicholas Barry Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 Fair enough. After all, nobody seems to perform a search before asking a question that's been beaten to death (and in the archives). I'm not quite sure what I was thinking. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
