Is anyone else bothered that the forums are not named using the same format?
Yes, I had pointed out before that “For” should not be capitalized and it was fixed at one point but snuck back in when they were renamed. That part of your post was missed in the last change, so maybe joedf won’t mind changing it to “for” at some point. Sorry for my nit-pickiness. :geek:

As a side note, can a pinned section be added to make it easier to find out who all the Moderators are for contact?
I would suggest that if you want to draw attention to a specific post or topic (wrong forum section, spam, bad behaviour and so on), you rather use the 'Report this post' button of that (or a) post, so that any active team member can see and act on it - simply because many people on the team list are not currently (or not very) active.
Directly contacting a specific moderator makes mainly sense, if you want to refer to a specific decision of that moderator (or admin), or if they were already active in a specific topic and you have a question regarding their post(s). If it's a question of public interest, you could of course mention the moderator in a post instead of PMing them.
For general issues, there is of course also the Forum Issues forum.

Looking forward to the 24th.
As a side note, can a pinned section be added to make it easier to find out who all the Moderators are for contact? There may already be a section for that but I'm not seeing it.


EDIT:
Please disregard this post. Of course I come across the section as soon as I posted this and it couldn't be easier to find...

Since we are still moving a lot of v1 posts from Ask for Help (v2), my impression is that it is actuallly not obvious to many people that there was a change and/or how to react to this change (probably because they don't find the v1 help, or simply don't realize the implications of the v2 main release). So I'd welcome anything that makes the distinction between the versions clearer and more visible - at least for the immediate future.

Hmmm... Even though previously I was very pro V1.1, now that V2 is the official version, I feel it's time to "turn the page". V2 should be very clear and obvious, to minimize confusion for any new users. As it is, I think people can find the V1.1 section and any help that they need. Most people still using V1.1, would already know how to navigate the site to find what they are looking for. V1.1 should debatably be on equal footing as AHK_H or the upcoming Keysharp (whenever it makes it to alpha).

@lexikos Okay great, thanks! Just wanted to check-in :+1:
@guest3456 okay, in that case. I'll wait till March 24th (about 1 month in total since the poll started) and I'll make change :)

@joedf I don't have an opinion on this, so I'll leave it up to you.

I'm not too worried for the other languages, I dont think the traffic is big enough to be a worry atm.
And I think mainly just the tutorials, script and help sections to be moved/change how they are displayed. I have already done the restructuring,this is mostly just moving it from a subsection to a parent section

Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section

Yep, a separate section would be preferable.

AutoHotkey v2.x
Ask For Help [v2]
.
.
.
AutoHotkey v1.x
Ask for Help [v1]
.
.


While it's kinda tricky with duplicating the whole thing for foreign languages as well!
There I'd think its users labeling their postings' subject lines with [v1] or [v2] respectively should be fine (? That's why I thought that a built-in "subject-line-select-version-option" would be amazing).

hmm right, we should have a deadline or something, maybe lets say by/before end of march?
I'm still waiting on input from @tank and @lexikos ... but I think it's rather evident/likely that we'll use ahk7's example.
