[MOVED] work the NC Forum at Seti
Pappa:
Okay
I have posted a new thread in the Seti NC Forum about FAQ's It has geneiric links to various sites for information Including here.
The next Step is going to be to create a thread for Optimized Applications and Other Binaries - Read Only. I know that Gecko_R7 normally asks to have it unlocked and Posts. If you could do a rollup of the last two into one (including the RSS feed) I will let you know when the thread is ready. Whenever an Update is added we want to remove (hide) the old one then only the current information is displayed.

Will do Al.
Give me a day or so to re-work this into a single post.

The hard part is getting everyone together... ::)
If arkayn sees this it would help
So while, I am one of the moderators that has been around for years. I believe that Eric knows what I try to do usually works in the best interest of Seti. Unless I do something really bad, I do not expect that privledge (headaches) to be withdrawn for a while.

OTOH, I'd prefer to keep the RSS feed post as separate sticky if possible.
The point of the post is to notify NC visitors of the feature.
It was "requested" by multiple members since many are not "frequent" visitors to the forums and would like to be informed when a new release is available. If combined into the release thread, it will defeat the purpose of the notification post.
However, thread organization at NC is your domain, not mine...so I'm only making a "request" as the OP.
I'm all for simplicity, less clutter & less work ;).
The Lunatics release posts @ NC are basically duplicates of what is HERE and posted on the front page.
Today, a person can subscribe to the release threads at NC, release threads @ Lunatics and the RSS feed.
Going forward, rather than post the complete release thread at NC, I can post the release "Header" w/ a link to the main post HERE.
This would certainly be cleaner & with less maintenance required @ NC, and much easier for me.
Remember that a person DOES NOT have to be a member @ Lunatics to access the board, release announcements or to DL applications.
Does this sound reasonable to you?
Jason G:
Just consider this. Does NC Forum's choice of presentatiom effect our optimisation efforts in any way? (I think not).
I suggest whatever changes are made, would be better made in consultation with the users of that forum, rather than here. (Using the target audience' opinions for the basis of design)
Quite frankly, I personally find the current form of NC over there acceptable, and IMO any more consideration of that at this end would be nothing more that a brain drain we don't need at this time.
If pressed for a suggestion, I would say that in any regular forum, stuff about T-Shirts, Picnics & Donations would belong in some other 'general discussion' category, being, in fact, not related to Number Crunchng at all, but then I do appreciate the Boinc Forum software is relatively limited, and not able to provide well laid out separate forums for general and specific discussion such as we have with our 'full-featured' forum software.
[Edit: I just realised this thread was originally started in the "Windows development" area. This was an inappropriate place. I have moved this to the General area for continued discussion. ]
