    The forum menu on the left is getting really long. Has anyone considered making it collapsible to limit the size? vbmike

      It is not as long as the page, but once it gets there, I think it may be useful.

        It's bad enough trying to get people to post into the correct forum when they can see the list. If it's collapsed, it will be nigh on impossible.

              If the sections you're not in were to be collapsed, I don't think that even the noobs would have a problem. The click on a single link for Programming Questions and then get re-directed as appropriate.

                I would think "most" users of CP would still understand a collapsible menu format. Not knowing where to place questions derives from not knowing what exactly to ask or where it fits in I suppose but....don't think you could ever prevent all the navigation sort of errors. Maybe CP needs a sort of area that folks can go to answer a few questions that will then give a better clue of where to place questions?? That would be for folks that have to be somewhat totally lost I guess. As I get a little more knowledge under my belt it seems simple enough to ask the appropriate question in the appropriate forum. vbmike
