Well, I share the opinion of Cookie (another Tester and a senior in this board as great helper):
There's two ways to make interfaces: The easy dumb-making way and the learner's way.
The dumb-making way is based upon users not having any knowledge about shotrtcuts and context menues and having it all displayed and placed obvious and/or non-standard to make the use easier. This won't help people to get used the way WIndows works. All applications have features hidden to the first look (and specially MS apps)
The learner's way is based upon adding methods the user may not know, but helping to discover them. This will help them understand there's a series of features and methods that, although relatively unknown, they should learn to be more productive with all other application. Like using Photoshop without shortcuts makes you like 30% slower. A couple of days ago I suggested something that would make several things easier to "girlie-users" but still not have it all simply displayed on screen (see
[suggestion] Tip of the day).
For the others, don't get on Sunshine, because it's true that he stated wrong supossitions trying to ofend me (although stating the opposite). I mean what kind of argument is stating that I'm 30+. I know 30+ people who never used a computer and I know 30+ who are compute genius.
He was also presuming I don't use Messenger while I wouldn't be Elite nor Tester nor Translator if I didn't.
To make some things clear to you, Poom:
Poom. I've been using Messenger Plus! for 3 years now, I've been in these forums for 2 years and I'm driving my (helped by several other Hispanic people around) own successful Hispanic Messenger Plus! forums for 1 year. As an admin you may post the last locking post because your decision is the last decision, but here you aren't and you can't "demand" a lock in such way, not letting people reply to your acusations! This is common sense, so don't come calling us immature, because it's you whos behaving like that!
Also, I spend everyday at least some time for chatting with friends, co-workers, co-admins, colleagues helping people in solving their problems and I'm usually online 24h.
This should not interest anyone, but as it seems you think you're top and better than the rest, I'm telling you that you get back on earth and stop thinking so selfishly acusing us of being inaccurate or insensible.
