If you are asking a relationship question, a homework question, or a question about computing, be sure to read this page of the guidelines before continuing. You can save time by reviewing the list of suggestions above. If you don’t find your answer in one of these questions, feel free to continue and ask a new one.
– I have to scroll down in order to see the prompt. It is because of the computer screen and type size.
– If I happen to see it and click on the “this page of the guidelines” link, it is not in the same order and covers more tips than what grumpyfish has to offer.
– In order to get a feel for new suggestions feature, I took the question, “What would be the advantages/disadvantages of legalizing prostitution in the U.S.A.?” Just typing in ‘prostitution’ netted five results that did not include this post. It was the same for just typing in ‘movie’; only five hits that included ‘movie’ as well as ‘movies’. I do like that if I click on one of the options that it opens a new window instead of losing my place in developing a question.
Please accept my apology. I’m going to stop here with the minute details and personal opinions. In the big picture, the changes are an improvement. Have they been perfected? Not yet, IMO, at least for a new member. I’ve been around long enough now to figure out how to maneuver around.
Test the system on people who have never visited Fluther before. Observe where they sail through and where they struggle, and you will soon recognize what should take priority when it comes to asking questions.
