How to draw more attention to the other Message board sections

Why dont we have a messageboard selection page that you see when you click on "Message Board" at the top of the screen. In it we would have a link to each of the three messageboards and a description of each. This might help people to more properly categorize their requests and threads. What do you guys think?

There is a messageboard selection, its just part of the same page. I think its nice to have a design that is different from every other site. Certainly similar designs allow ppl to find their way around easily, but to me this design is only lacking one thing. The 3 boards should be listed on tabs, and clicking on a tab takes you to that board. The way it is listed now does not readily show that there are sections (at least for some that is the case I am sure). Under where it shows the sections, it says "Wincustomize Message Board" yet that is not one of the titles of the sections. Therefore giving the impression that it is the only section.
It has never bothered me, as I use the Skinbrowser, and also I can figure it out easily. But I'd have to say that since it has appeared often here that a section isn't being viewed or that things get posted wrong, that this simple suggestion could be the answer.

and these "other boards", why do they need attention?

I say these "other boards" get enough attention... if they exist.

joe. are you being purposely obtuse? You've already started spamming the Help, and Skinning Discussions with your "questions of curiousity"........... will skinner ever do this?.......... does anyone have that?..........  why does this do that?  I personally wish you'd keep those question, which have always seemed to me mostly off the wall, on the general board. You queries just don't seem to be appropriate for Skinning Discussions, which is really meant to share tips, and ask for advice on skinning. Not for asking questions such as "Will a skinner ever be hired to make a skin for one person?" "Does anyone use Pocket Blinds or have Pocket PC's period?" These questions seem to me to appropriate for the General Discussions.  Maybe I'm wrong, and if so I'll apologize, but it just seems wrong to me to start threads of that nature in the other Discussion boards.

whoops. I though those boards were for all things skins. those topics in piticular because of there specific nature about skinning and anything related... and the general board for anything.

I didn't know it was just for production tips, code help or such.


I'll just stick with the main and help boards.
