I wasn't sure where to put this thread, but, even though this forum is listed amongst the forums in the Faiths: Religion Dialogue and Debate section, I was wondering why this forum had an "Interests and Topics" link at the top of the...even though the other forums in the FRDD section have a "Faiths: Religion Dialogue and Debate" link at the top of their pages.

And not only is it bizarre that it's like that, but it's also inconvenient for the people on this board to go directly to the FRDD section and to the forums under that section(such as the Discuss Christianity forum).

But as it stands now, since the "Interests and Topics" link literally takes you nowhere, in order to go to...let's say for example, the Discuss Christianity forum, you first have to click on the "Beliefnet Forums"...and then from there, you have to scroll or page all the way down to the FRDD section in order to get to the Discuss Christianity forum. Whew!

Can Beliefnet fix this problem? Also, has this been a concern for anyone else?

Ed - Well, I did notice some months ago that I could no longer access this forum by using its URL but had to go through what you described to get here.


Three steps - community.beliefnet to forums to disussion to discuss Jehovah's Witnesses (hmmm - that's 4 steps!) - I also wonder why the discussion forums are thus so hidden and obscure.


I'm not sure why they did that, perhaps some security concern?


I used to simply cut and paste the URL into the bar and get here in one step. 


Thankfully AOL preserves the last web page so unless I close
AOL I get here as soon as I log on.   And, in fact, I am still logged in!


So, all in all, I have no complaints - but I am curious about what you noted and what I noted.


BTW - I noticed some of the discussion forums are not posted on often - while this one is one of the busiest forums on the list of discussion forums.


I also noticed that when you look up Jehovah's Witnesses you get our community and welcome sections but not our discussion section.

When you look at the forums, at the top left, you'll find this...


Hot Topics: Politics, Religion Debates, Money, Morality, Sexuality, Creationism, Animal Rights


If you click on Religion Debates you'll see this below...(just  part ,but DJW is right there!!!) There is no problem at all navigating right to Discuss Jehovah's Witnesses.


I'm locking this now...so send any more questions to me privately and I'll be happy to discuss problems.
