In the beginning, having so many boards to read might be overwhelming. Well, we aren't trying to raise people's anxiety levels when logging-in to our website. So here's a neat trick to reduce the distraction until you feel more comfortable.

Collapsing & Expanding Categories

Several CATEGORIES are listed on the forum's Homepage. For example: Salutations; Information; Validation; Integration; etc.

Next to the title of the category is a small blue box with a + or - sign. If you click on the - sign, the category will collapse the message boards from view. This is not permanent. All you have to do is reclick on the + sign and the category expands to show all the message boards again. For those who feel slightly overwhelmed and uncertain about where to start posting, I would suggest:

1-Logging-in to the site so all the boards are visible to you as a member.

2-Scrolling down the page and collapsing selected categories you might not be interested in reading at this point. Remember: you can always always expand those categories when you're more familiar with our website.

3-The General Message Board for this website is in the Validation Category. Try collapsing other categories and only leaving the Validation section open.

4-When you log-out, this arrangement is set automatically. The next time you log-in to WoN, you will only see the boards within the selected Categories.

5-As you become comfortable with the lay-out, you can roam around the WoN farm at your pleasure---without getting lost. 



Hugs,

Okay - this helps a lot!  I collapsed everything except for 3 places I will either post or read daily.  And, I have an idea where everything else is so as I get brave (and have time) I will explore the back 40.
