Sorry I have been unable to respond to any questions on the Suggestions page as I have been ill all this week. In answer to some of the questions about sub-topics - We are still working to improve the format of the AB to make the new sub-topics easy to use. This is a long process as it involves moving old questions and answers, and discussions into new sections. My being ill has put us a bit behind, but our dedicated team has been working on making the AB the best Q & A site on the web.
The new improvements will make the sub-topics easy to navigate, and even allow for discussion of questions, so please put up with our growing pains for now!
Also, in response to a question about whether or not the AB team use the AB Suggestions page - the answer is YES!
I can't speak for what has happened in the past, but over the last two months, the AB team has checked the Suggestions page every day as we work on improving the site. Almost every improvement we are working on comes directly from a user's suggestion.
Finally, a user has suggested that the AB is building a 'premium rate' site. That is completely false. We are proud to work on a site that offers a valuable service to users for free, and we will continue to offer that service for free in the future.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions, even though we aren't able to answer every email or suggestion personally we are reading and using your suggestions everyday!
how very helpful, Vinny <douses him in brandy and sets him on fire> ummm, whatever it is you do to open a windows page (click on an icon or something?), just do it again. As many times as you like; that was the whole concept of 'windows', I believe. Leave the first page open; others will appear in new windows.
