If you search for something that you don’t know anything about. Say, you have an issue, you don’t know what issue it is, if you have a multiple layered category for just your card, then it simplifies, and when you kind of find something that is similar you can search for it globally for an answer. You can’t do that with searching from the beginning. I suppose that you as many others that use sofisticated forums have been using them for years and since it’s like second nature for you, it’s probably as easy for everyone else too. Nah. You know I ditched the whole reddit scene for years on end because that forum is so extensive and mostly based upon trials and errors till you learn how to use it. Now it’s fine, I’m a fast learner when I’m interested, but if it feels overwhelming, it’s probably overwhelming, and I can tell you, if it’s about something they aren’t interested in. They will ask for help. >> ME << usually and if people need others in order to understand how to use things, then it’s not for the end-user, it’s for the one that have been there since the birth of the thing. When I have to ask for help in order to find stuff, fine, I don’t have that big of an ego that I can’t ask for help, but I usually just want to find a quick solution, not read 500 posts or watch 50 videos in order to get an extensive guide. It usually ends up with me making new guides that implement everything that I myself had to go through in order to get my answers.
If I need to do that, isn’t there an obvious problem to be fixed there then? Totally missed by those that are used with it… Oh I want to create a dynamic Operating System… Well, It’s going to have to stay in my head till I forget about it. haha.
Ease of use is what makes people come back.
