No Promis-e forum

Please, please can we have a Promis-e forum. Pre-fixing each message with "Promis-e" helps search but some users are using "promise", "promis.e" etc. A dedicated forun would allow browseing of recent or all topics/messages, where-as the current situation only permits direct searching. I'm sure its simple to set up?

Thank you.

  • Thanks for your feedback. Various reasons for NOT creating individual sub-forums for individual products (at least not initially) are mentioned in this topic/thread. For the time being, inquiries relating to promis•e should be posted in the Plant Design and Engineering Forum.

      

  • Thank you for your quick reply.

    I agree with some of your points (cross disciplines etc) but your reply proves one of my points, the standardisation on "Promis-e" and NOT for example "promis•e" as you typed. So when I do a search for a panel related thread in Promis-e (Promis-e is how its written on the software), I must do the following searches one at a time and record the results as they could all be different:
    Promis-e panel
    Promis.e panel
    promis•e panel
    I tried do a search on "promis" hoping this would solve my problem by selecting all, but this does not search on promis.e or promis-e etc
    This problem can only get worse as more people use the forum and think of more & more eventful (or accidental) ways of entering Promis-e (maybe Promis,e or Promis'e etc).
    Also Promis-e does not have any cross disciplines.
    As for tags, are these just a way of organising your own threads, as there is no automatic way of ensuring people enter relevant ones, the same problem as entering the correct title pre-fix?

    If making Promis-e a distinct forum negatively effected others (I can't see why) then I would bow down gracefully, but please put yourself in my shoes for a moment and try to see how time consuming my/& others searching will become as the forum grows.

    Thank you.

     

     

  • We understand there is a learning curve with using the site and not everyone will use it the same way.  Even the admins are still figuring things out.  As the forum grows we will be making accommodations.

    I do agree that the tagging could be better and more automatic. However, it is not intended for organizing your own threads, but rather for organizing everything on the site.  The tagging system will certainly be improved when we move to the next version of the software used on the site.

    In the meantime you can try searches like this - and even get an rss feed for that search



  • Thanks,

    That tip will make a big difference.........and fingers crossed for further developments :-)

  • The first thing I thought of when I became a member today and looked for a Promis-e forum was 'Why don't they ahve a seperate promis-e forum?  I like browsing the different postings but its not very convenient if they are mixed up with so many other programs. PLEASE MAKE A SUB FORUM or atleast a filter!
