My Profile WalkThrough

[AB Editor]

What do you think? I've not tried annotations before and I have a feeling they're a little fast.

What else should I "walk through" on here? Anything you personally struggled with?

No, I can manage it all thank s

[Bobbisox]

it is very informative though, well done

[Mamyalynne]

I would have liked it set to music♫

[AB Editor]

Do you mean the annotations in the video Bobbi, or the site in general?

I quite aware you're all used to and able to use the site, but I am hoping to help out new users (and technophobes.)

We were all new at one point - we must have all found something a bit tricky on here to begin with?

I think the video has been well put together ED, I wasn't picking holes in it ;-)
and it will give newbies a very easy step by step guidance too

"thanks for listening" - am I deaf ?

I know it sounds a little obvious but I recall when I joined how confusing I felt the topic area's in that there were so many "grey areas" I was unsure which area my query fitted in.

sometimes you go into say "body and soul and you find a list of medical questions which are a bit offputting because technically they *are* body but I feel body and soul is more a "feelings" type of place rather than a "health and fitness" area which deals with mainly physical ailments.

I think the subtopics need to be permanently visible, I know this would be quite messy looking but it would open the areas up more to new questons and prevent people posting physical ailments in body and soul

maybe a walkthrough on posting etiquette and ensuring your question is posted in the right area?

[AB Editor]

Not sure if I could do that in a video, but I might be able to put something together.

Also, I think the category issue is a separate one - we're going to trim them down sooner rather than later. I think improving the categories rather than trying to explain them works best.

"what about the theme from Jaws???"

Good idea. Like the shark of knowledge stealthily approaches the dingy of ignorance... AND STRIKES!
