Title: What to do while waiting for a reply to question
Post by: Computer Hope Admin on March 11, 2009, 11:42:46 AM
The Computer Hope forums are filled with a lot of different things that can be done while waiting for a reply your question or other post. Below are a few examples.

Tip: You can always check the "Notify me of replies" box when creating a new post to have an e-mail sent to you when a new reply occurs and/or click the Notify button ((http://www.computerhope.com/forum/Themes/classic/images/english/notify.gif)) on any post or board to get notified when new posts occur.

That is good advice for new user, I like to add that if you probably become a regular here that is the best thing to do.  If not some of those steps still relate.

I am impressed with your set up and how helpful this forum is. I had never seen an SMF forum that has the help bar at the top and so many helpful sections and I run my own SMF forums as well as help run another SMF forums.

Well that's good to hear and thanks. My intentions are always to make things as easy as possible since usually people with computer issues are frustrated enough as it is when they're having computer problems. Still not as easy as I'd like it to be but it's getting there.

Title: Ridiculous

Very bad UI here. Can't find New Topic button. Can't find avatar button. Wastes a lot of time. A good webmaster knows when that happens people hit the back button and don't come back.

the "new topic" button isn't available in the "windows" forum (in an attempt to encourage users to post in the appropriate subforum for their specific OS), but in those forums where it is available it is in a conspicious location that won't differ much from other forums.

There is no Avatar button, so not being able to find one is not surprising.

Of all the Help Forums i volunteer on i'd say just the exact opposite...

I used to need help a lot, and now I even help out others. I always am glad to hear that members are getting good responses from other members and they find the forum easy to use.

While waiting for a reply I'd like to get rid of the bar at the top of the screen suggesting things I might like to do while I'm waiting for a reply.

How can I get rid of it?

OK (again)
Been here, done that (again).
Get emails - "response posted" - return to site....can't find reply.
Just end up here (again)  ???
Guess I'm more dumb than my girlfriend tells me (but I'll never admit it her)
Great! Now you know....shh, keep it a secret, OK?

You should post in another area. Such as 'Internet Browsers' might be a suitable place.

I have been a member since 2009 but only post when I have computer issues. Thus the reason I came back today and now am waiting for an answer and decided to check the forums I once posted in back then. I am familiar with SMF and probably why I feel navigation is easy here. However I know that on my own SMF forums people say they don't know where to find anything. Many SMF forums have a help button that teaches how to navigate SMF forums. The one on ComputerHope (Help button (http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000636.htm)) is different than the usual Help found on SMF 2.+ (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=help) or 1.1.+ (http://forum.earthbox.com/index.php?action=help) but still helpful.

Thanks for telling me, and this is my first forum I've been posting replies.
So, I guess it's good luck to me and this forum.
