Making the boards friendlier for new users?

[Macbeth]

Ah. User CP becomes My Account. NOW this thread makes sense...
Lets see how flexible it is:
user cp (no caps)
User CP (two spaces)
USER CP (all caps)

Really? when I type My Account, it doesn't become My Account, it becomes My Account? Cool!

 

[Kesh]

... I'm confused.

I'm almost beginning to miss U-s-e-r C-P now.

I want to try it too:

My Account

Edit: Damn, it works! I typed User CP, not My Account.

Personally, I would have changed that to Tweaks, as all "power-users" are familiar with the use of tweak to mean advanced configuration options.

I suggest changing the "Quick Link" menu to "Tools", and merging "Thread Tools" and "Display Modes" together into a menu that would be called "Thread Options".

Another thought on the Off-Topic/Hive forum. What about having a Hive Sub-Forum under Off-Topic to give people a place to do whatever they want like the Hivemind thread and leave The Off-Topic forum hive free.

Someone hasn't looked at forum titles recently.

Anyways, we're not going to create a subforum for one thread. That's just crazytalk. Crazytalk, I tell you!

"Join EN World" sounds inviting in common conversation, but on the internet it usually means "pay us money to view more content". Maybe I've just seen too many of those kind of web sites, but when I see "Join" I think the site wants money from me.

Are you sure you want to admit that here?

Thanks for the change
