I agree with this. Now i may not be the type of beginner that marksman is talking about, and i have way more experience than the average newbie that finds out about dnn through there web host, but i do believe that to someone who knows little this forum can be a little intimidating.  when i was first learning about dnn i too hated the fact that i had to wait to have my post reviewed. when you are learning a new techology like this you want information as fast as you can get it.  I think the idea of letting post through automatically and then reviewing them later is  a much better idea and has worked beautifully on many other forums i belong too.  I think the biggest problem with dnn foum module is not that it is getting overloaded. it just lacks a lot of the features and ease of use that is in most other forums.  Offering activemodules as a solution is not really a solution.  A forum is very simple and i think dnn core members should look into this more and really look to make improvements.  this module i feel is the most important to them because they use it heavily themselves and it is integral to sharing there information. Dnn has made great stride in a short amount of time dont get me wrong but simply put this forum needs help. lets work on fixing it rather than looking for bandaids.

FWIW, as a newbie, I have found www.dnnwiki.net very useful.

Since this thread has been up for a couple of weeks, and many comments have been applied affirming how the process of using the forums could be made easier, I guess I would like to ask ...

Is there a willingness on the part of the core team or site admin to be supportive of changes regarding:

(1) Introducting a DNN "Beginner's Forum" ?

(2) Pulling together in support of a site such as dnnwiki.net ?

Anyone with the power to behold these changes, what do you say?


Thanks.
