one thing I am lacking whilst reading XDA have been cross-forum postings, i.e. when posting one message and it fails into different categories (of XDA Developers) I need to make a decision where I need to put it, and I can put it only in one place at a time ... as there is virtually no possibility of sending one message to diffrent forums at a time, when any response arrives it is visible in all the forums at teh same time

different forums have been read by various people, some spend more time on let's say "general" and much less on "using it" but actually knows exactly what I have been looking for, but I misses the answer as he rarely visits other forums ... hmmm, I am curious whether I am expressing myself clear enough, heh :roll:
utimately I'd love to see the same functionality newsgroups have, when I post a message to 3 forums (A,B and C) ... and when one answer to my post has been made (make it newsgroup A), it is visible on groups B and C as well

anything that can be done with respect to that shall increase knowledge sharing (at least that is my impression) :idea:

no, rather to make all the forums look more transparent .... not just attached to one forum where the message has been originated (written) but let's say ... having a choice of placing the massage in either one forum or up to three, because:

1. it is not always clear where to put them :wink:
2. not everybody read all the threads, not all the groups :?
