Nice, glad to see this site finally made it to beta. We should probably populate it with some of the more commonly asked questions and answers to help get it started...(I'm going to go look back at some of the questions I've asked in the past on Dgrin)
@AndrewMaiman - During the beta phase we specifically do not want to add the common "basic" or "easy" questions. We want to try to ask the hardest questions this week! If you commonly get real hard ones, bring them on!
@rfusca I think we need you in meta too plz :)
@RebeccaChernoff - Who are the other mods? I can't figure out where that info is.
@dpollitt Yeah, I saw the thing about not posting "easy" questions. How about this one? It's something that a decent number of people might want to do, but it wasn't particularly "easy": dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=50788
For that question I would agree that isn't particularly easy.. seems like it would be just fine here. I just don't want to see a bunch of super easy questions already answered by the existing smugmug help. Stuff on dgrin is probably for the most part OK, as the actual smugmug help is pretty basic stuff.
If Don wanted people to hop over to stack exchange he could have just tried to shutter dgrin :) that would have got them on board hehe
There was a bit of a rumble on photo.se a few weeks ago, I think it was with shog9. Along the lines of editing some homepage code that one of our mods worked hard on.
@rfusca Yea I thought photo.se was cutthroat on closing questions that were off topic. then i started to try to ask stuff on superuser. they just closed everything i was asking without any discussion. all mod closed almost instantly. i gave up lol
Even mods sometimes ask too broad of question... I'm working on narrowing them in a bit more, but I still need some work...
It's just driving me crazy that I've forgotten what questions I was going to ask here, and I'm struggling to find some that will make the site better. Well, I'm succeeding in finding some at least...
