Please be sure to VOTE on this before you reply.
We've informally discussed this before and most of us seemed to support the notion for MacRumors to create a separate forum for iWeb design and development. Meaning, either a split with a sub-forum or two parallel forums, whatever they felt would work the best.
However, nothing ever became of it.
I've always felt that answering proprietary questions about iWeb, usually the same ones over and over, is a poor use of forum resources. Also, there are many key limitations in iWeb for development purposes and the product has it's own unique way of doing things which means alot of the advice from the regular contributors doesn't apply to iWeb questions and users often find this confusing. We all know the iWeb target audience is different than that for sites produced via other commercial products or if very advanced server side coding/setup is involved.
Maybe it's time to split the forums, post a few sticky messages in the iWeb forum with the most common questions/answers (FAQ's) if worthwhile.
Please vote then add your reply. If the powers who run MacForums looked at the poll and saw a real majority, they might do this. Of course I also expect a few folks to possibly feel things are fine as they are, so no opinions will be constrained.
Consider this "testing the waters" for a possible change.
