I suggest that this section be renamed so new people do not think that this is the section for questions about their XJs. The title is misleading b/c it does say questions.
Maybe just "Forum Suggestions & Problems".

Where do people go if they have questions regarding the forum? There really arent many people posting things here that shouldnt be here, it happens every now and then but it happens in every section every now and then. If it gets to be more of a problem I will change it around a bit.

Yeah I don't think the difference between CF and CHerokee Forum will make a difference in new forums users minds.. What I have always found in forums to work best is " Site Suggestions, Questions or problems" They see the word site and relate it to the website itself and not the purpose/topic of the forum. Anyways just some info based on my experience on forums I have ran. maintained and setup over the years.

Another thing to look at is Section titles...The first one is Title Cherokee Forum, A more appropriate title would be Technical Discussion. That way folks will correlate that section is for anything technical related and not just general non tech stuff.. Now the forum area titled Technical Articles should be something more like How-to's and write ups.. So people will go oh I need a how to or writeup let's go here..Where as technical articles may lead one to think eh just specs and what not..

Titling and naming on a forum is critical to prevent new users from getting confused and going to the wrong place to post and such.. One of the things i Like here is we don't have a ton of areas so many things can be bundled in one area..That's good IMHO.

Anyways just some food for thought..Not complaining in anyway but figured since the topic got brought up I'd post some thoughts based on my experiences..

I think...and this is just MY opinion here...but IF a person can't figure it out, they may as well just throw in the towel...Life gets much harder then that...

If someone is too confused by the title here...seriously, put a bullet in your head...And I mean that in a good christian way, not in a bad way at all...

Later.
