Hi,
If possible, please put the CodeBank forums below the Other Language forums. Doing so should prevent newbies from posting their C/C++ questions in the code bank.

Good idea :thumb:
I dont think reordering will keep members from misposting their threads. No matter what there will always be misposted threads no matter what the order is.
Yes, but I believe there will be less.
I have to agree with CB here. People stop looking down the list when they suddenly see C++ or Java or what ever. So a rearrange would be better.
Of course people might still misunderstand or post in the wrong browser window/tab. But I believe there will be less misunderstandings with a rearrange. Good idea Mr. CB :thumb:

I wholeheartedly support this suggestion. :thumb:Quote:

Correct. One member had one post and the other had two.Quote:

What do you find misleading about the descriptions?Quote:

This is part of UI design. We're all impatient, and when we come to this site for the first time, we'll start scrolling down. You'll notice that the 'section' titles are small, white, and have a blue-gray background. Nothing contrasts here, so we don't see it as we scroll down. We don't even read the descriptions. So changing descriptions won't help. The only things visible to us are the forum titles.
Therefore, CB is correct in saying that there will be fewer OOPPs (Out Of Place Posts) if that section were moved.
