dany2 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I am abit confused, seems that software sections and sub sections are scattered all over the board, plus trial & freeware and not so freeware software are mixed up: Software Updates, News & Updates, Frontpage Software Updates. why not have a central space for software with two sections, Free & Trial and not so Free and Trial Edited January 29, 2014 by dany2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalaffa Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks for the feedback. It's like Software Updates and Frontpage Software Updates. To differentiate between trial and free software we have not really considered. We have allowed for special versions (customized repacks, portable ones) of software listed on the frontpage being allowed posted in general software updates as topics, but maybe we should change that (to be posted in current frontpage topic only).

nIGHT Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Have long been suggested in the Forum's wishlist and even created a topic that suggest to ramified the software section in each of its own category. Some of it has suggestion to include a non-mandatory prefix tag like [FREEWARE] [sHAREWARE] [PORTABLE] [OPENSOURCE].The mods might have a good reason having all these mixed up together and we just can't see it yet. :) Edited January 29, 2014 by nIGHT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dany2 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 I really think FrontPage should be pulled from a main software section, which should be divided into 3 parts:1.apps+fixes for those apps1a. portable & repacks sub section.2.Freeware & Trial.This way you go to one section and find it all their, front page should always be behind those sections as its exposure is higher and thus more likely to be deleted sooner.

shought Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The software on the frontpage is featured software (which is picked and tested by our staff). Other software updates can be posted in the Software Updates section. If you still want to post software, but it's not an update you can post it in the Software Archive. It's to make sure all posts are up to date and up to certain standards. Then frontpage is and will always remain easily accessible, but the forums are a bit harder to navigate for more advanced users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
