Mepis rocks...but these boards stink
These boards seem to be really?? buggy.?? I can't save a signature (it only saves half of it)...and they are confusing as well.?? Navigating through them is like trying to walk through a forest with a blindfold on.????According to the boards, there is no difference??between what a project is and what a forum topic is...they're included??on the same page when it comes to recent posts.?? That??absolutely IS NOT organized how it should be.????Projects are NOT forum posts...they are project posts.?? Sure, they can both be in forum format...but not IN the same forum!!?? I mean, I posted twice under projects when all I wanted to do was post in the forum.?? (I was confused??as hell with the way the boards were set up...it took me??2 days of posting just to??figure everything out)?? Had their been a separate board for projects it wouldn't have happened.
Now, perhaps some of you are thinking I'm a??dumb Noob or something.?? I've been posting since 14.4 modems were a new thing...I've been around??since the zmodem and have been posting and using boards and IRC daily since then.?? I assure you??that this opinion is NOT due to me being a Noob.?? ??I guess maybe I'm just used to the threaded BBS style.?? Oh well...Anyone else finding the boards to be buggy and confusing??? Since MEPIS is geared toward GUI linux I wouldI mean, I don't get to see full titltes of posts either...for some reason they are cut off (not a browser problem...it's the same here as it is at work).?? The categories are strung out when they could be clear and concise and more organized.?? I mean,?? I like my boards like I like my file structure...ya know??? I feel like I should e2fsck the boards.
I absolutely adore MEPIS and think it is the best Distro I've ever used...but I despise the user compatibility of the forum boards.?? I'll be hanging out at other MEPIS forums and doing my best to spread the word there until the board style and layout changes.?? I hope others don't find the board layout and ability to be the same as I do cause they will be heading away fast.

Drupal
In time Drupal will improve. As more people get on board new modules will be created and the current modules will be improved. The taxonomy of Drupal can cause confusion, but I am??sure this will change soon.Considering time constraints of many who are here I think things look great and keep looking better as time goes along. Warren has done a great job with Drupal in making it do the job for this site. One thing to think about is if you want Drupal improved, download it, play with it, review the modules, then create your own or??fix the ones that are causing problems.????

double posting
might this be the reason why some people end up double posting?
i removed a few doubles this week, and they are increasing.
is it a forum / user problem or a forum / firefox /use problem?
anyone who needs to answer privately may do so....

privacy
privacy rules prevent me from revealing whose double posts i've removed.
(translated : i've forgotten)
if it because we've got noobs, then that is fine.
i'll quietly remove double posts, although i haven't perfected merging streams of consciousness yet.

Forum
I find that the postings get into odd categories. I have been tempted to move postings to other categories but so far I haven't.
Would it help if the postings went into more logical categories (which is always my definition of the right category??)
The cut off headers aren't cut off at all.
They are the result of persons who don't write a header - the first X characters of their posting is used as the header.
