I'm not one of the "illuminati" of QB64, nor am I a complete novice. So I would welcome a part of the forum that talks at my level, gives solutions at my level, and allows me to make comments at my level.
I'm not saying that I don't get the help I need - most times I do, and thanks to those who provide that help - but sometimes, it's a bit heavy for my skill-level. So bring on the split-level sub-forums.
Yeah, but we're not like a lot of code forums out there, you know, the ones that assume you already know everything about the language. I've always wondered why anyone would assume that someone who knows everything about the language would ever ask a question in the first place. I mean there is an old saying that there are no bad students, only bad teachers. Well, close. In reality, we see both.
My advice is if you ever get a reply where you feel the explanation went over your head, just reply back with something like, "Could you go over that again in layman's terms?" I usually go with something like, "Hold on there sparky, is that you talking or did your M.I.T. degree hack your account again? Well, that's just me. Anyway, my gut tells me the forum members will be able to communicate at all levels without the need for level sub-forums. I just want folks to feel free to ask what they want the way they want to ask it. Having stated that, watch Steve get right on to dividing up the forum into levels! I hate that guy, Murphy.
