Hello,
I have renamed this forum to Windows 95/98. I think the 9x was confusing a few people.

Cool, looks good! Probably a good idea, as it makes it a little more clear exactly what to post here.

Hello Justin, PC Freak, (in India we address a person by first name - no offence)
I guess saying win 95 /98 will make it even simpler of someone not familiar with comps. But then it still does not say if its win98 FE or SE or 95B ...just kidding.
On a more serious note, will it be possible for you or the other mods to let a poster (at least the regulars) know via email or by messages to the "my computing" section the reason for removal of his/her post? I wake up one morning and find that my post which seemed safe and uncontrovertial is just gone...gone just like that... I just feel a one line reason for the removal will let the poster know EXACTLY was wrong and perhaps avoid such mistakes in future. Or he/she would atleast know it was not his/her fault.
Pretty frustrating to find a post removed. I have myself at times recommened posts for removal but then those were clearly on the other side of "acceptable" lines.
Good Luck and Happy Computing,
Kailas Shastry, India.

Aw - I liked the term '9x'
Still, if it helps to minimize any possible confusion, I'm all for it.
Probably a pain to work out, but have you considered colour coding the various forum pages?

Kalias,
If one of your posts is remove, feel free to e-mail me about it. I can't waste time e-mailing the poster of each post I remove. Seeing as how they almost always know why it was removed, it seems redudant. If you send me an e-mail with the just (a summary) of what the post said, I'd be happy to tell you why it was removed.

Hi Justin, PC Freak, Kailas, jboy, Derek, hi everybody,
Though Frenchmen always find a good reason to complain... it's fine! ;-)
Have a good day, Gérard from Paris, France
