:? I love WrongPlanet, but I do see a problem: It needs organization. By this I mean it would be helpful if there were some sort of index where topics of discussion could be more easily accessed, perhaps alphabetically for example, or by specific Aspie vs NT views on the world. Does this make any sense? Whenever I go on WrongPlanet there is a basic index at first, but then when I look within each topic I feel lost and confused trying to find the exact subject I'm looking for. :roll: I know as Aspies we crave compartmentalization. Thanks!

If we did that, then we wouldn't see the new posts. There are so many posts on here it be hard to see the new posts if we kept all the threat titles in alphabetically. No one would want to dig through 300 plus pages on a board.

You'd run into a lot of problems with this. Indexing by subject would be difficult because of all the (sometimes inadvertant) thread-hijacking that goes on. It also seems like half the time the subject doesn't match the content.

There is a way to watch threads so you receive email notifications when new responses are added. Perhaps that's what you're looking for?

That sounds like ti would get confusing and be too much. People don't like to have to do so much clicking.

Just do a search for the keywords you're looking for, then make a bookmark out of the results page...
