I've wasted too much time trying to figure out what forum to post my topic in b/c it could fir in many of them as it pertains a little to a number of forums or it really isn't specifically covered by any of them.
Of instance the eyefi SD card that is storage (but not SSD or Hard drive) and it is ues in mobile devices, and cameras, AND it is networking because it is wireless transmission.
So what I suggest we do is make a list of topics and hardware categories and then list in which forum they belong. Make this a sticky and then someone (lots of people) open this post and do a "find" of their desired item and see what forum best suites it.
There is nothing more frustrating when a thread gets little attention b/c it is in the wrong forum even though it may be very helpful to some people.
This thread would be continually updated (first opst of the thread) whenever new items /topics are added when people post these on the thread. If they are questionable, make a poll and have people select where they think it should go.
With the number of users on this board, this would be SOO helpful and waste MUCH less time trying to find the right forum, searching for where their item is posted as a subject many times in a specific forum AND it would cut down a lot of server CPU usage as it wouldn't hve to query these requests. (I've researched this, making lists to avoid CPU utilization can cut down CPU usage from 3-8% on a busy site - so they just reference a stickied list.
Thoughts?
