    I have a suggestion / question related to the Tech Articles section.
    Whenever I go to look through the Tech Articles section I only see featured articles and then 19 tech articles in total. I know there's lot's more articles than that in there and unless I have a specific search in mind I find the only way I discover some very useful stuff is by someone dredging up an old article because they have posted a question or comment about it. Is there some other listing link I'm missing? What I was wondering is if there is a "master list" or an index somewhere of ALL of the tech articles? I think it would be a great addition or enhancement to the site, assuming there isn't one somewhere I'm not seeing, if we could view all of the articles via links from a table of contents, subject listing or historical listing in the Tech Articles section. It seems to be limited to just what has been viewed or commented on recently and I think some of the great stuff that was done by early members is being missed out on. I think it may also cut down on the number of commonly repeated questions if it was more 'visible'
    Thoughts? Comments?

    There are currently 97 threads in the Tech Article forum. Can you see them all? There are 5 pages of threads.

    :hmmm:

    "There are currently 97 threads in the Tech Article forum. Can you see them all? There are 5 pages of threads."

    Figured it out thanks...had to change my "display options" at the bottom of the page to get them all to show.
    Still I think the idea of an index or grouping by type of article might be beneficial. May be more trouble than it's worth but just a suggestion.
    Thanks

    Good! Glad the problem is solved ........... :clap:

    Yes, it would be nice if there was an index, I agree. Don't know if that is possible, maybe Stefan can look into it for future upgrades to the board.

    :)

    Now that there are enough articles, I will create categories for them.
