Placement of code snippets.

We know you have an opinion on how things should be run around here. These are suggestions for the forums, and the website.This forum is not a place to ask for suggestions to your own coding (or otherwise) problems.

Placement of code snippets.

Post by onion2k »

Note: I'm not complaining about my posts being moved. :)

Shouldn't specific code threads go into their most relevant folder instead of the general code snippets folder?

To me it makes more sense to put graphics snippets and functions in the graphics folder rather than the code snippets folder. I reckon a user coming to the forum to look for stuff about making thumbnails (for example) is much more likely to look in the graphics folder than code snippets for code to help them. Similarly, database code would make more sense in the database folder. JavaScript snippets should go in the clientside folder. The code snippets folder is best suited to threads of a more general nature.

I reckon. Maybe.

Hmm... I kinda agree yeah... hmm... not sure... doh I dunno :P

If we used something like vBulletin we could actually have subforums inside the main forum, for putting code snippets into.

I guess, since we have a code snippets forum it amkes sense currently that *any* code snippets go there :)

I don't think your snipplets belong the the Graphics forum..
that's like saying a mysql abstraction layer class would belong in the Databases forum...

I didn't think this would be an issue.. is it?
