    Apologies if this has already been suggested before; however, in the last few weeks, I've seen 3 individual users post "articles" through the submission wizard when they mean to ask a question on one of the boards. Would it be possible to place a link to the discussion boards, possibly with some red text on one of the pages of the article submission wizard, to make it crystal clear what the wizard is for, and help prevent this from happening? As has been seen with the Lounge etc it is not always 100% successful, but it may help. Regards, --Perspx

      Seriously? Used the article wizard recently, and you'd have to be amazingly dense to wade through several pages, fill in a pages full of html, just for an urgentz question... Iain.
