<div>Forum Master:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As a first time user of these new forums, I thought that you might appreciate my following comments.</div>
<div>Under Embarcadero Community (
https://community.embarcadero.com/forum/main-forum
)</div>
<div>I find</div>
<div>Home > Forums > General</div>
<div>Under the above, I find main topic “General” and under that summaries of two messages:</div>
<div>1st “Welcome/Forum Rules” which includes the statement: “Please choose from one of the forums below and try to post to the most appropriate for your topic.”</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And below that is the</div>
<div>2nd “Installation Issues” which says “This forum is for discussions about general installation topics.”</div>
<div>Referring back to the 1st, there are no other forums shown to select from. Surely there are other forums.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So I click on Welcome/Forum Rules and it takes me to</div>
<div>HomeForumsGeneralWelcome/Forum Rules</div>
<div>Which shows me a lot of messages by subject, date, and by whom – most of which, judging by the subject lines specific and
not of a general or forum rules nature.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What is going on here? As an old timer, I found the old NNTP forum a lot easier to browse and find stuff in. Or if you have to modernize, maybe the reviews in
https://www.cmscritic.com/resource-lists/forum-list/
would help you to find some tried and refined forum software solutions. I particularly like the forum system from
https://www.vbulletin.com/
that powers
http://forums.jetphotos.net/forumdisplay.php?f=29
and many other forums.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And here below are more comments from my experience posting this message.</div>
<div>While viewing</div>
<div>HomeForumsGeneralWelcome/Forum RulesUndergoing community website changes</div>
<div>I clicked on the “Reply Topic” button. It brought up a page with the titles</div>
<div>HomeForumsGeneralWelcome/Forum RulesUndergoing community website changesReply Topic</div>
<div>and “Reply Topic: Undergoing community website changes” under which was a message form with the subject line and content of my previous message on a different subject in a different forum already filled in. Curious!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And more, in the message window, the down arrow key does not always move the cursor down. It sometimes gets stuck on a particular place in a line or at the bottom of the window, it will now cause the window to scroll, like it should.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And even more, the ctrl-U will sometimes not clear the underline under a space character.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What is the little "p" for at the bottom of the editing screen? Well now it is "div".</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The Tag lookup is like a slow guessing game.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Further, Your forum message editor has the worst time, by far, with handling the pasted enbedded MS Word editing codes of any editor that I have ever used in my 50+ years of using computer programs.</div>
