this board needs a better structure! - too many diverse threads.

how about separate sections for:

beginners
science
problems
teams

Definitely!

But I would like the structure from the other Boinc projects:

  1. Questions & Problems Windows
    Linux
    Mac
    Startup
    Preferences
    Wish list
    + Bug report

  1. Message Boards Science
    Crunching
    Café

in addition to a rational

in addition to a rational board struture a *search function* would be helpful to find references rather than repeat the same point.

Hello cIclops,
There is already one.
It's here on the top left side of both, Message Boards and Questions & Problems.
The only "problem": search entries have to be at least 5 letters long, and that's nowhere mentioned ;-)

I think, the boards are their least concern atm. As noe there is the mayor public rollout of the core project.

Nevertheless, they should at least do something about the structure. The 2 existing boards become more and more unreadable.

Even if you are eager to help others, I do not like scolling loads of topics/posts ;-)

i think i see now, there is a new section called Questions/problems accessible from the top board level here

unfortunately it has the same name as the old board and i think the same messages presented in another format ... most confusing.

These two main boards (or usually board categories) are standard on the 3 other projects I join.

They are usually subdivided in 3-8 boards. This makes them readable. This board here is becoming more and more unreadable. It's just a huge heap of (redundant) messages, and I can't even complain to the newbies about not browsing enough, because how do you browse such a unorganised rumble?

As the core project is running now, and fine btw, they should fast change this here!

I will subscribe to NAs stucture!

But pulease be quick, this non-structure sucks.
