Default Not just the forum but the whole site!

I really hate this. I don't want to be a second class citizen who is a mere after thought.

When I go to www.basic4ppc, I expect to bloody well see Basic4ppc, I do not expect to get a load of irrelevant garbage about bloody Android which is of no interest to PPC users whatsover.

If you want to be nice to Android people then create basic4android.com, don't hi jack the ppc site for something most ppc people don't care about.

As a compromise, you could make it split screen, PPC left, Android right, but basic4ppc should be as advertised, basic4ppc.

And having been totally ignored in favour of this totally uninteresting system, the only link out is not to any PPC home page, but to the purchace/download page. I HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED THE PPC VERSION JUST LIKE ALL THE PPC USERS. What a moronic choice of place to dump us in.

And when I finally get to forum I find all the johnny come lately's who are into this Android muck get pride of place. Us PPC guys, us loyal users, are demoted to the bottom of the screen because despite the loyalty, we don't count any more. Nice to see loyalty rewarded.

I see these new comers get an Additional Libraries and Offical Updates thread, but we being second class citizens don't have one any more! Thanks for caring (not).

Does the lack of such a thread for us second class citizens mean none of the bugs we have reported will ever get fixed? Well if they do, where are you going to tell us about it?

Yours,
A second class citizen.

The Announcements forum was traditionally used for updates regarding Basic4ppc.

....
I don't agree with style but agree with the content!
Why not basic4android.com and the original basic4ppc.com???

Practically basic4ppc.com is the site of our software company, Anywhere Software.
It would have been better if at 2005 we had started using a different "neutral" domain name.
However this is not the case.
I didn't want to maintain two web sites and especially I didn't want to create two similar communities forums.
BTW, you can use this link to get to a "Basic4ppc only" forum:
Basic4ppc - Basic4ppc / Basic4android - Android programming

OK, but that still doesn't tell me why we no longer have an Additional Libraries thread for ppc. Or anything else which makes me a second class citizen.

Normaly I use the "New Post" Link and when I found a new solution I am very happy but when I click the Link I see It's an Android library...

Other suggestion: Please take a "mark" before the therad for Android or PPC
Example: "Android - Question Help Needed" Or "PPC - Door Library"
Need rules because now it's crazy...

Sorry for my English

It is in the same place as it always been:
Additional Libraries - Basic4ppc / Basic4android - Android programming

Edit: Referring to post #1.
BTW, it is not clear to me why do you use such hostile style.

OK, So make the main page as neutral as you wish the domain name was.

It isn't just a case of getting to the forum, there are no links to ANYTHING ppc on the home page except to the Purchase page. Neutral is fine, but this is obsessively one sided as it stands.

Ah so that is a combined thread is it? So what is it doing in the Android specific section, that is confusing. I know, it has to go somewhere. Is it not possible to put a dummy link in the other place?

This is a marketing decision that I made. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe I'm not. I don't think that it hurts you as a Basic4ppc user.

I don't think that I understand.
This link holds the Basic4ppc subforums: Basic4ppc - Basic4ppc / Basic4android - Android programming
All of these subforums are not related to Basic4android.

Erel I told "I don't agree with style" what RacingDog used...
But earlier I liked this forum because I found so many solution for my problem but now I don't like to read the posts because I don't wan't to ferret it out what is about Android and what is about me.
