Myself, I would never look at a user forum section that is not on the same
version that am currently running even if the problem is hardware or OS
related. I think that this is the reason why the versions were amalgamated.
Possibly with the 2D software the user base is much larger than the 3D user
base. I really wish though everyone posted their system spec's and version.
This would greatly reduce the thread sizes as previously noted.

Further to which, with all the versions are blended, it takes so long to
go through the postings that there's no time left to make a contribution.
Many's the time I've gone through 75 posts and I could have answered 4
of the 30 that apply to my version, but I don't because the time was
used up wading through the other 45.
My preference has always been separate newsgroups.
