Folding Forum

Regarding this section : http://foldingforum.org/viewforum.php?f=19

I think it could be better to have one topic per project instead of one topic per WU ... it would be easier for people to find what have already happened in a project before posting thier own WU.

For example, topic could be "pXXXX", instead of "pXXXX (run X / gen X / clone X)"

What do you think about this idea

We could also split topics into differents issues : "pXXXX : Early Unit End", "pXXXX : Unknown Error" ... It would be easier to isolate differents issues

I happen to agree with you, but I'm not sure what can be done about it. Certainly if the Moderators find a topic called. "pXXXX (run X / gen X / clone X)" they can edit the title to be "pXXXX" and if necessary, put (run X / gen X / clone X) into the text of the first post. If there's already a pXXXX topic they'd have to lock one and point to the other one since I heard that they don't have a merge function.

... or maybe you're just asking the Moderators to post a rule about topic titles and hope that everyone reads it.

I think moderators :

a) didn't see this topic
b) don't care

None of the above!

So can we have your opinion

What's the connection between "having your opinion" and saying that the moderators don't pay attention / don't care?

Choose the correct answer
A) none
B) none

No. I'll express my opinion to the forum administration, and they can make a change if so needed.

Please consider the possible consequences of bashing the forum administration by saying they don't care, etc. And don't assume that just because nothing has been done yet, or that no one has commented yet, that someone hasn't already seen this thread, and started discussing it with the Admins.

Just my .02/.03
I am always for streamlining and more organized threads.

We'll let the powers to be make the decision.

Peace

Just a gentle suggestion ... if you feel a post isn't getting attention from mods/admins quickly enough and that it is urgent, try sending a private message with a link and the reason why you feel it is that time sensitive. We mostly try to help where we can, while dealing with real life like everyone else.

Seeing as how he called the Mods insensitive just over 24 hours after the original post, he must think it's really, really important. IMHO, it won't really matter if it takes the Mods a month to respond.

The v3 forum software upgrade comes first. We'll deal with less urgent issues after.

I like being able to search, and find, using the full, P: xxxx (Rxx, Cxx, Gxx),
as in a simple copy and paste from the Fahlog.txt.

So, I guess that I disagree with the OP.

Aw Geez !! Not again

Hey -- be grateful this isn't like a typical Government Bureaucracy, or you'd be waiting 'till next week

Looks as if toTOW just cleared out all his Atta Boy's for the year.

IMHO, I prefer the current way by WU since it's easier to spot the troublesome workunit in the forum listing than dig thru a project thread for the specific WU.

It's also easier to spot some other things if all the WUs from a single project are in the same thread. Both methods have some advantages over the other.

Lack of a response from a Mod does not mean that they didn't read the post. The idea was clearly stated so I didn't need to ask you for more information. I believe that no response is required until we either do what you suggested or decide NOT to do it. Personally, I've been rather busy with RL and I don't always reply when I don't need to.
