Usability forum/thread

Is there any room for a usability section on php builder?

I've recently had questions about usability and ended up making vaguely informed decisions

Since phpbuilder answers 90% of my needs and since so many php developed sites are to do with creating interface type things, wouldn't it be handy?

F'r instance, what is good practice for re-sending a password?
Reset the current one and require email confirmation, like on phpbuilder?

Maybe just a sticky with recommendations?

good idea, cretaceous- I'll pass it along to the powers that be.

We could give it a try. If it bombs we can always remove it.

Hrmmm, good idea but then book sales would go down, oh won't somebody think of the authors!

It is a good idea but how many old dog will share their tricks. Not many seem to do that around here.

I guess it didnt get many responses - it might turn into one of those dusty never-visited places..!
Too many sub forums can diffuse things - damn here I am shooting down my own suggestion

I personally have nothing wrong with it, it maybe a good thing but my only concern is if we start having Usability why not HTML, javascript, css etc. Once we have one we have them all, its not like we dont have questions about any mentioned infact we have probably a lot more than usability. I dont want to shoot down the suggestion but its one of those "What ifs"

A forum which would almost certainly see a lot more activity would be "Can someone recommend a good Foo?" for various values of Foo. If I've seen n such threads here, I've seen n+1.

I'm thinking the subject of usability would be better handled in article form....

PS: Can anyone recommend a good Foo?

Try the Foo shop up the road

.. the Foo shop were right out of Foos and they recommended I try bars instead - but I'm not sure they'll work so well

I walked into a bar the other night. It hurt.
