Better Navigation and Q&P Improvements

[AB Editor]

Thanks everyone for your comments. We are writing them down as they come in!

We put a rush on addressing the most frequent suggestions. You'll now find that by clicking on 'Topics' you'll be able to view all the sub-topics at once for easier navigation. To get back to the main topics menu, just click on 'Topics' again.

 

For those of you who frequent Quizzes & Puzzles, we heard your cries for change! We have removed the anagrams section to make solving your crosswords with anagrams easier. Let us know what you think!

 

Thanks again for all your help improving the AnswerBank!

Thanks for returning Quizzes and Puzzles to a familiar format.

I have to say that I think you're doing a fantastic job, Ed.
No one can please everyone, but you're clearly trying very hard to do so!

thank you ED, :-)

Many thanks Ed ....... we are grateful for your prompt action, but really do feel that the crossword section also needs to be removed. As you can see from todays postings these items are scattered between the main Quizzes & Puzzles section and the crossword sub-section, At the risk of repetition I offer you the following comments ...........

Great but agree with my fellow puzzler sarumite ....just leave it as it was !! I know I suggested a sub section for postal quizzes but it worked perfectly well anyway .We now have two sections for crosswords in operation which is silly and please get rid of Riddles !.

[JoolsTwo]

I still think it was better as it was Ed. I know that some section maybe need sub sections but quizzes and puzzles is better without. Thanks. Jools

SPOT-ON with the quick view Topics, Ed !!

Good work, thanks xx

[muffty]

Quick fix for sub cats on Topics - nice one ED !!!!

[lankeela]

Wow, there's even more subsections than I realised!
Who the h*ll has the time to go through them all? I spend enough time on here as it is, but having to troll through all that lot is taking the biscuit.

[lankeela]

Why not do a poll, then everyone can have their say.

[steviep165]

a good move making all the subtopics viewable at one time ED.
p.s..... what were you edited for???

[rogerr]

Where is Topics or are you having us on?

[rogerr]

Found it , but it's almost greyed out, Why? Or is it my computer.

Please, please please get rid of all the subtopics. It used to be fairly easy to browse through topics of interest now it is a nightmare as many people post in the wrong subtopic. This has spolit AB for me.

Dear Ed,

I hope you get to read my post. I think having subtopics for Every Single Topic is a really really bad idea. Its okay to have more sections for bigger categories like Law, Family, Sport, Gaming or Quizzes & Puzzles (that no one cares about) but it's just not necessary for absolutely everything on AB!

I think you'll find that the number of posts in each category have dropped significantly while many of the sub topics have been sparsely used or just not at all! You should take note of this. All the subtopics should be given a trial run of about 2 weeks max, after which all of the underused topics/subtopics should be scrapped ... kind of like what you did with the Gambling topic.

That is the only way AB will remain user friendly and popular among most of the new and regular ABers.

Thankyou.

jump79 - we don't need more sections for Q & P, the one heading covered all, and what do you mean by (that no one cares about)? we all have our favorite topics and mine personally is Q & P just because you might not care about the other topics doesn't mean everyone on here thinks the same as you.
