Lightbulb Submitting a link


Hi

I was just going through the links database and I a thought struck me. The list does not indicate any General category. You have Beginers, News and all but, no General.

So, if I were to submit a link to a website, which has News, Guides, Reviews where would it go? I figured Misc. but that does not look very good.

I feel that the Misc. category be renamed to General or a new category General should be added.

What say?

Another questions: Why doesn't reviewing a product in the HCL increase my review count? Is it just for the revies done in the review section?

That is only in the Reviews section. There is separate counts for HCL entries but not for when reviewing them.

Out of curiosity, why do you say that?

Interestingly, I put HCL review in last week for my new Creative external serial modem (very happy ) and my HCL number is still showing 0 - (clarified with Jeremy yesterday the proper way to add to HCL)

If you noticed, the count says "HCL Entries" which doesn't include if you make a review of an already submitted hardware entry.

No, Jeremy don't get me wrong. All I meant was that Misc. would not fit fine for a site which covers News, Reviews, Docs, Guides, Tutorials for Beginers etc. I mean, a site as diverse as to have all this info. has to be put in a category like General.

'Cause, as soon as I hear of Misc. I tend to think that ok, the sites in here are not on any topic mentioned already. They could be on a variety of things and that is fine.

But, like I said above, such a site, which has various features cannot be put into Misc. cause it does have the all the topics that are mentioned explicitly. That is my way of reasoning. That's the way I look at it.

Did I make any sense or was I just rambling out aloud like RMS?

Yup, that's what I figured but still wanted to clarify. Thanks for the input trickykid.

Cheers. < Gosh, I was about to write God Bless instead. How dare I think of such a thing >
