How not to use a Forum

Michael Cunliffe Thompson

The previous topic "Hebrew Type Design" was a wasted opportunity. We have there several
people learned and experienced in Hebrew fonts. As a newcomer to this field I could benefit
from reading what they have to say. Sadly, these comments are buried somewhere in the 300 posts and effectively lost.

The 200 or more post from GoHebrew should not be here, they should be in a blog!

Also the subject was changed a few times but when this happened new topics were not created.
PLEASE THINK OF OTHERS.

Yepp. I would like to read GoHebrews blog ;-)
It is better to have some people looking for "topic discipline" – because the topic is very interesting in general.

I agree, multiple topics would have been so beneficial. The topic of the post itself ranges greatly, and I've found so many useful things.... But it is a huge chunk of time to go through the whole thing. I've mainly been skimming it, and reading carefully when something catches my eye.

Don't we have a post "voting" system now?
It's supposed to help identify worthwhile reads.

Ah, yes. However the read is both worthwhile and not - the good stuff is muddled by the fact that there are many pages of discussion.

Hrant H Papazian

I meant individual posts in a given thread.

There is no way to vote on individual posts that I can find. Only on the first post of the thread. Am I missing something?

Hrant H Papazian

Yeah, I guess you're right. I never liked voting anyway.
