> .. but what I'd love to see is the ability to browse by section with the posts in reverse chronological order.
Just a quick question: When you click on a topic under 'Forums', the latest posts are displayed. Am I correct in understanding that you want the latest posts to appear at the bottom (in reverse chronological order)?
> When I first looked there, it was a jumble of miscellaneous topics.
Well, this is an overview of all new posts in all topics. As we are a general IT forum, there are naturally a lot of topics. In general, the whole page is 'the forum' with different views (with topic images, ticker, stream).
> ..being able to turn off the thumbnail images would be a bonus.
That's what the ticker view is for. It shows the latest posts without thumbnails. As I said, we work with many different views to satisfy all users.
> The domain name "rootdb.com" makes it sound like the site is about databases.
It should be a bit like imdb.com, a database full of IT knowledge - not the database itself (although we do have that as a topic).
But that's what I meant by good feedback. Here in Germany we've had very positive feedback about the organisation. Internationally it seems to be different. Interesting, and thank you very much. I look forward to more feedback.
