a strong suggestion
I suggest you add a HTML forum, why not?
HTML is strongly related to php.
when i have HTML questions, i have to go to other web-sits.

We can't have individual forums for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java, VBScript XML etc etc... we don't actually get enough posts in those areas to warrant it. If we do start to get an excess of posts in a particular field then we could very well have a unique forum for it. If it runs in the browser then it's running on the client and is therefore client-side. Client-Side fits very nicely IMO. We do however, value your opinion and your input 
Does anybody else think we need to have separate forums for this?

Actually, it means exactly what it says: Client-side. It lists the items that are included in that category, and we have over 700 posts in that category about "HTML".aaaphp000000 wrote:if you mix many to one, actually it means nothing.
people do not want to post questions on a mixed forum, trust me.
Clearly, we don't need to "trust you". People already do post questions on that mixed forum, and it does mean something.
You made a suggestion. Several people have disagreed with the suggestion. The posts in that category disagree with your perception.
I'd say there isn't much more to discuss.

right, it is exactly what I want to say: of course, HTML forum includes CSS+JAVASCRIPT.I don't think so... imo, 'html' as a forum topic would be too narrow, too simple. HTML+CSS+JavaScript maybe, but definitely not HTML by itself...
java should not be mixed to client-side and even not server-side, it should be just "java" or with sub-forums - but you do not need sub-forums because you focus on php issues.
Imho, there is nothing mixed. php development is usually done in a server/client environment.aaaphp000000 wrote:if you mix many to one, actually it means nothing.

1786 posts till now.. Isn't that proof that people _do_ want to post there?
Imho there is a serious difference between Java Applets (typically run at client-side) and Java Server Pages / Servlets which typically run at the (server-side). Therefor i wouldn't advise to place them all together in one forum..aaaphp000000 wrote: java should not be mixed to client-side and even not server-side, it should be just "java" or with sub-forums - but you do not need sub-forums because you focus on php issues.
My €0.02
Which is it?
At the end of the day, the only question is whether people are posting in the right section already. They are, so clearly, people understand the definition of client-side, AND are comfortable posting in a mixed-topic forum section.
Plus, the mods already said it wouldnt change.
End of discussion.

Client side is HTML + CSS + Javascript (like YOU said above), and also includes other clientside technologies like flash. You seem to be totally fine with mixing multiple topics in a single forum - you just arent consistent about which, or about the definition that is already being used successfully here.aaaphp000000 wrote:if you mix many to one, actually it means nothing.
