Asking questions in the correct sections

Post by amethyst »

I may be wrong but it seems some sections are locked for comments (replies) by all users. For instance - the official fossapup thread where only philb and the moderators/administrators have access to reply to a post it seems. I wanted to reply to a post of another user yesterday but couldn't. Is this correct? I see that only rockedge has tried to answer the user's question (which actually turned out to be a general Puppy question and not relating to fossapup only). So, it's important that users ask their questions in the correct sections otherwise they will be severely limited to replies (if any).

My interpretation is this forum was designed for busier use, and being normally specific will result in lost questions.

In the esoteric sections users tend to know what they're looking for.

The Fossapup64 Section of the forum is moderated by 666philb. This section has an Announcements Section which is locked. The rest of the Fossapup64 Section is open for new topics and replies. There are currently 14 posted replies in February by users to threads in that section.
