yes, the “confirmation page”, if we can avoid-skip it and i didn’t see, the “likers” are show in small size under, so that ok, let’s keep. it’s just % thing number, if we can disable it. ---

it was with the old “rating” system but can you put somewhere a **“full icons legend-description”** please ? i saw some of the themes display a “partial icon legend” but the currend them i chose don’t have it, plus the legend was “partial”. ---

also, one great feature from the old “forum we shouldn’t say his name” was the “return-reading from the last vew” a post. i know tere is the quick link to “the last post” but it force us to scroll up to search and return where we was last-reading, to continue our read. it was great pleasant feature. maybe there is a plugin that can do the same ? ---

Yeah, I’m going to make a legend of images, but that is going to take more time. Plus, there is some difficulty, since some of the styles/themes/skins use different icons and colors than others. I plan to also make a tour video once the features have kind of settled down. ---

i have to make a “remark” for the “solidworks” sub-category (N-1) inside this sub-category, there are other sub-categories (N-2) ok, no problem with that, but for new user, some will not notice there are sub-categories (N-2) so they will never enter to see what’s inside. the problem is there are “thread” in the N-1, it should be better to disable the possiblity to create thread in that N-1 (solidworks) and move all existing thread into appropriate N-2 categories. have an intermediate sub-category mixed with threads, sub-sub-category, will result in a futur mess. because when a new user will create a new thread, if he won’t the correct N-2, will create it in the N-1. i hope what i tried to explain will be understand, sorry for my medium english. ---

Yeah, I think I understand. There are a couple things I’d like to be able to do. First would be a top level indented outline of all of the categories and forums. I don’t have a way to do this currently. A side bar would be nice, but I don’t have a way to do that. I’m keeping my eyes open. Second, there is already something of what you are asking for, I think. In the screenshot, you can see that there are sub-forums, and they are accessible from the top level. The only way to fix that would be to make a General forum under the SW forum, so the SW forum becomes a sub-category of the CAD category. Content and structure at the same level isn’t best practice, I guess. ---

and here is a schematic i thaugh abou it, by being in differents forum, but this is specific for cad-forum, it’s to avoid double, triple same question, and separate baby-question, to serious-question. to work it need a “sandbox”, and some power-users/mods will check this sandbox, and estimate if it’s a real question, a baby-question, or not, and if it already have been asked, or not. to avoid multiplication of the same question, how add mate to a line and a cylinder how add mate to cylinder and a line hey dude, i have a cylinder-thingy and want mate it etc… example of “baby question” how to create a line, how to create a sketch, how to add mate how do i check the path for my newfile (DOT) ? hey can someone modelise my school homework ? so for baby-question we can simply answer by linking the online-sw-help and for real-question the power-users can investigate it. so there are : - temporary sandbox - baby-question - real-interesting-question but maybe a third kind of question can be added (or not, if not needed) ---

> Content and structure at the same level isn’t best practice, I guess. that’s it but i’m talking about N-2 / N-3 look here : N-2 contains plenty threads, but it exists N-3 sub-folders… ---

the important is to have a correct sub-folder, sub-sub-folder, etc… if a folder seems missing, study it wisely to if it have to become a new sub-folder avoid clone-like folder in french “doublon” and the most important for a CAd forum, to avoi it become a mess, the system of “is it a real new question” validation, to avoid asking the same thing multiple of times… ---

Suggetion: How about some kind of a general “Engineering” or “Design” subforum to discuss thing related to the engineering work as a whole without software-perspective? Or does it belong to off-topic? 😃 EDIT: Now that I was looking around I came to conclusion that Kitty dump is fine place for my question 🙂 ---
