Ask The Community

This has annoyed me long enough.

Who thought it would be a good idea to change the "New Thread" button to "Ask the Community?"

What if I don't want to ask? What if I just have something to say?

What if I don't want to ask the entire community? Can't you see how this is intimidating to a n00b?

There's a thing called internet conventions. You do things the same as other forums because it increases ease of use and gives new members confidence.

Since you changed this button the number of new people hijacking threads has increased dramatically. They don't want to be rude, they just don't understand that "asking the community" means "Make a new post".

Please fix.

Second that. I was slightly confused when I first joined, and I'm not new to this at all.

Yeah, the thing that confused me at first was where my post would end up. Of course, once you get in you have the little drop down boxes and it is clear(er), but I agree this should be looked into and streamlined a bit.

Agree, the "ask the community" sounds something intimidating

I also agree
