That's a great idea.  We put up this forum realizing that it would need improvements. .... We will arrange a meeting of users in the next week or so at the N&O, and invite all who want to participate. Maybe something in the early evening?

Amen to your comments, leesc_1998.  I, too, am an experienced internet user (online since 1993) and I have found Share very difficult to navigate.  Perhaps not quite as much lately, as I've gotten used to it, but especially so in the beginning.  And that, in my humble opinion, is the problem.  New users will not come back if the site is cumbersome and not user friendly.  After my first visit or two, I nearly quit out of frustration. 

My thanks to Dan and the N&O for the offer to meet with users and listen to their ideas. 

Unless, of course, the meeting is for photographers only.  Surely they wouldn't do that.

I can see that there is a forum for photography and for current events, etc. But instead it seems like one big forum, rather than individual forums.

A better layout would be that all photograpy discussions or all current event discussions, etc,  were instead filed or shown on their own page. Maybe if there was a list of the forums on the main forum page. Say you wanted to see what was being discussed in photography, you then clicked on photography and  you were brought to a photography forum page where only photography was discussed.

I hope that makes sense. I think it could actually create more discussions or give a sense of a club to those that wish to join in on particular forums.

Another simple challenge: Directly linking to another post I just made in another thread just to save time and fit more puzzle pieces together at the same time.

Here's the link: http://share.triangle.com/node/8402#comment-23290

Oh, and don't forget where you are once there. Remember to come back here before posting! All these blueprint pieces I've put together here so far has got me feeling like a rat in a maze... or is it a rat into some maize? :o)

This is only a test

Note: This is not to scale.

Wow! I never knew until just now that one can simply highlight, copy, and paste from an HTML preview typed up in notepad and saved as an HTML document and then opened before copying, and then to paste it directly here into the text field and preview and then post it.

Yes, I will be looking forwards to find ways to improve the user-friendliness of this site. A lot of the pieces we need may already be present, or at least the prospects do look quite good.
