I've recently started learning .NET and visiting this site which is one of the best I've come across. The level of knowledge and available info is top notch.

On my journey through topic after topic I am constantly seeing people post questions without specifying which version of .NET they are using. The person who replies first will usually make an angry(ish) reference to the fact that they haven't specified etc... Which is fair enough in many ways.

However, the positioning of that option when posting is in the worst place possible. It shouldn't be above the Title text box as that text box target is much larger and easier to read so you immediately zone in on it. It also looks like the first option to start filling in. Subsequently, you would fill in the options BELOW that and never look at the top again, especially if in a hurry. The option should be moved below the text box and in red letters or something different a piece of text should say (in slightly bigger font than currently used) 'Specify .NET Version you are using'.

I'm betting this would dramatically cut the number of people not filling that info in and reduce the number of times people have to reply - PLEASE TELL US WHICH VERSION YOU ARE USING. It's mostly not because they have forgotten but because of poor placement and design.

Just my 2 cents.

p.s. I'm using .NET 2003 btw.

The option isn't in this forum - not that it's needed.
