Ripped off!

Gaieus

i think this should be automatically available and can be removed manually not the other way

You can imagine we tried to figure out this way but the forum software does not allow that solution.

why the segregation?

On members' demand. Who said the "new topic (or post)" links cluttered with all sorts of things they are not interested.

The same with the foreign language usergroups/forums.

You can also imagine my (and other mods') life would be much easier without this "segregation" as you call it.

i can see the point of the language posts but wood working seems to be SU at its finest. its a shame there isn't a better solution. i never even noticed it on the index page because i always sign in automatically.

BTW, i'm not interested in styles or layout. can we have those removed as well?

Aww crap man, he found us!
Ok, your turn. Go hide and we will count to 10.

So how do you guys keep track of this forum? I always just search "Active Topics" and assumed this forum was dead because the Woodworking posts never show up there Are there more subforums that don't show up in "Active Topics"? ...maybe not ripped off, but I'm sure felling pretty dumb!!

Gaieus

Only the subscription based forums do not show up (and the hidden ones of course )
These are the woodworking and the foreign language forums at the moment.

(Hidden forums can be beta forums for various commercial plugins and such and generally the plugin author "invites" the testers so there is nothing I could do about it - there were some betas that I was not even part of and even I could not see that subforum although of course as an admin I could have hacked it...)

Maybe these sub-forums could be mentioned on one of SCF's (very rare) newsletters?

Gaieus

It's out in the forum index along with a long description what to do when you are not a member but would like to become. That is when you are not logged in however (and most new members are not logged in until they register first, right?)

In any case, I would tend to revise that old decision to "hide" the woodworking forum. Those old members who (maybe just more loudly than others thought otherwise) requested this, very rarely visit nowadays anyway.

Maybe those old members who requested it were more interested in getting those of us who use SketchUp for woodworking projects out of the mainstream forums.

I may not have something to post every day but I check almost every day at least once to see if there's any activity here as well as on the other fora I watch.

Dave, your answer has nothing to do with the question.

I still love your little kid in the picture however.

Gai, that's never stopped me before.

Thanks. I need to get a new picture of him on a tractor. I think he was three or maybe just four when that picture was taken. He's 6 now.
