another thought, perhaps a 'what distro is best suited for you' page that asks a few simple questions to assess what a user wants out of their system (features, operability,hardware compatibility, default Window Manager, etc...) then based on their choices makes a few recommendations (in order of relevance)
yes this would require user contribution as well but seems like ultimately it would lighten the large number of 'which distro is best for me... ' posts that seem to crop up all the time on the forums |
[Never-mind... answered my own question!]

Easier thread navigation
One thing I find "hard to use" is that the "next page" button is a single character, normal sized ">". Almost everything else one has to click to read the forums is a word (forum name) or phrase (Thread title). Finding and clicking that word is not a problem. However, for me, finding that one character to go to the next page in a thread is tedious. And as my eyes age, getting tougher.
How about an icon or "next page" "previous page" that would make this task easier? |
新年好!Happy new year!

Happy New Year to everyone. May the sun of open source brightness shine ever more clearly in the days to come. |
Possibly putting a select box on the page for creating a new thread.
This box would be to select Distro/OS. I have seen new threads that people ask questions and do not put any information in there, it should help posting just to get more information. Great site!! Thank you. |
Happy new year and Thanks a lot
This forum gives me a lot of help. Thanks.

Happy new year!
Sometimes it could be useful being able to create new tags - or at least have a button to submit a "new tag wish" to an admin. What about that? Greets and go on Basti |

You say that LQ wiki is easier to reg than LQ fo, so I suspect I was at another fo+wiki site. Without going to a lot of trouble (Jeremy), can you (fzzzy fzzzy) estimate how many contribs to wiki that haven't reg for LQ fo? Or how many wiki regs haven't reg for fo for a "long" time? |

On the subject of user names, I'll bet that many don't know that spaces & capital letters are allowed, especially when they sign up. I certainly didn't, else I might be "Arch Toad 6" or even "Arch Toad VI". There is an on-going, albeit minor, problem annoyance w/ long names pushing the user panel of the post area wider than its default. I'd like to see an explicit statement of the possibilities & flexibility available added to the sign up page. Perhaps also discourage single "words" longer than 10-12 characters. That would have to be carefully worded to ensure that it didn't imply that that didn't represent a limit on the full user name. Same problem annoyance w/ unspaced distro lists & locations. Treating all obvious delimiters, starting w/ '/' as allowable line break points would help. |
