the drop down is great. when you know about it. the problem is, of course, that our forum newbies are generally not made of the same stuff as we are. most of us here are -- or were -- techies of one description or another, and have the knowledge and experience to know that if we keep clicking things, sooner or later something will happen. newbies and non-techies aren't so brave, or patient. the object of forums is to read and post, and these basic functions have to be as obvious as possible. or at the very least, a "trainer-wheels" mode has to be possible until the new member becomes familiar with the operating environment.
