Why Multiple Paths to get to the Forum ?

garyg

Hi
This is just an observation, more than a suggestion.
There are two different methods of getting to your Forum area.
One of them is on the top menu of the Parallax home page, where you can shop for items.
On the bottom of the Parallax home page, there is something else that says Equip Your Genius.
Clicking on the top Forum leads you to the page where the very interesting information by Chris Savage
concerning RFID interfacing and use.
Clicking on the bottom of the page bypasses that and goes directly to the different Forums for particular
elements of your Forums.
After quite a bit of time, I've been pretty much able to understand how your site works.
For someone new to your website and the Forums, I know it is very confusing.

Since I have not seen any other comments concerning this, I just thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Thanks
Garyg

Good point. Maybe on the forums.parallax.com "home" page there should be a big banner at the top that says "Browse Forums" and a heading for the (changing) project "Project of the Week".

I've found that the links IN the forums are OK, but getting to the forum stuff I want in the first place is always a problem. So I always use Google forum.parallax.com:topic to get where I want to start, and book mark that. But the forum built in search stuff doesn't hasn't helped me much so far.

The reason is people may find the forums through different modes of thinking or exploration.

Once here, they can book mark and return easily.

The link to the Forums from Parallax.com will be changing in the near future. Please stay tuned...
