The prefix system is okay, but the issue now is that it takes a helluva lot more navigation to get to what you want.

1) Go to forum's homepage
2) Click on Modifications
3) Click on your version of vb
4) Click dropdown menu to hunt down the sorta mod you're looking for

I know, I know it's not a big deal to click a few times. But four clicks to get to the juice of your content? Any website owner worth the name knows that you don't want your audience to have to drill down a navigation structure that frustrates them.

The whole raison d'etre of vb.org is the modification area. What's the benefit of hiding the mods away and making things more complicated than necessary?

The staff here is great, but geeze, I gotta wonder what's going on when y'all keep making things harder and less intuitive for your userbase. Do you guys remember the old hack database during the vb2 era? How easy it was to access? And best of all, people could get to things either through the homepage hierarchy or the more narrowly organized database. (Options = good!) Vb3 makes it even easier to create alternate views like this.

Well, I know you're still futzing around to see what works. That's cool. It'll take some experimenting I guess. Why not ask your users what they suggest? There'll always be differences of opinion, but perhaps a consensus can be found. Not to mention the fact that since things are still a bit tense around here, it's probably beneficial for the atmosphere if you invite the membership to help brainstorm.

Ain't it worth trying?
