One place to post

[Ed209]

Is it just me or does anybody else think it would be better to just have one section where we post instead of all the other sub sections

???????? :?

No. Many people are only interested in certain sections.

If you always enter through "view new posts" https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/search.php?search_id=newposts (bookmark it) you see across the whole forum anyway.

No, if anything an extra section or two might be useful. eg machinery and beginners

And cheesemaking. Sorry, wrong forum. #-o

Shouldn't this thread be in https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/site-updates.html as it's not actually about woodworking but is a suggestion about a change to the site?
Perhaps a mod could move it?

I'm personally not a fan of 'beginner' sections in forums as they quite often end up with beginners teaching beginners because the more experienced people don't go there.

I honestly think the reverse of that would happen, there are a lot of people on this site go that extra mile to help, I for one would visit a beginners section to help, simply because I have had so much free advice from others, something to think about Mods?

That's always the intention, but I've seen it tail off pretty quickly in practice on more than one occasion. Where did you go to get all your useful free advice? Not a beginner area because we don't have one, but from the other areas where all the experts lurk, so it seems to be working well as things stand.

As long as beginners don't feel like they need to become an expert themselves before daring to post, they'll reach a wider audience in the other areas. I've not been here long but UKWorkshop seems to be a very friendly place to be, not like some of the 'stuffy' forums I've come across over the years where the 'experts' looked down on mere mortals, wafting them away like a cow trying to rid its read end of flies using its tail. People new to working with wood can happily post here alongside established experts - do you really want to herd them into a special section where they can be handled differently?

Reading people's early posts, there often does seem a degree of trepidation before posting that a 'softer' section might overcome.

I've got a bouzouki.
Hope that helps.
