Sometimes Right, Sometimes Wrong but ALWAYS certai
It has occured to me lately that members of this forum do not always use the specifically titled forum for the post they are placing. I can see that the Mods move some posts to a more relevent section but not all. I can understand new members placing questions in the Welcome to the Fish Forums as they have not had chance to explore or may not understand the specific sections.
This is not a complaint, more of an observation really.
I, for instance, placed a post recently under Plants and Planted Tanks which takes in algae problems etc. and had just one member joining the thread. A similar post and at the same time as mine was listed under Tropical Discussions and attracted, to date, something like 5 posts from 5 individual members.
I realise this example doesn't constitute to market research but is just pointing out what sometimes does happen.
Now, when I visit these forums I check out the sections roughly in this order;
Buy sell and Swap
New to the Hobby
Tropical Discussions
Bettas
Hardware and DIY.
There is then usually no time left to visit any of the other sections before Mrs D suggests that my attentions have been diverted from her for long enough.
This leads me to think that the obvious section to place a question is in the Tropical Discussions to attract the widest audience.
Just interested in other members views on this matter. (this is a discussion post therefore is in the RIGHT section
)
