I find myself using other people's profile pages and MyWebjunction as my primary access points for WJ content, which I think is part of the intent of the more social functionality of WJ. I find my way to content through the people who interest me.
However, I find that many links from others profile pages and from MyWebjunction will take me to a specific discussion or document that really interests me, but when I try to figure out if the specific discussion or document is part of a larger top area or group area I am at a loss to find out what those might be.
Today's specific example is:
In my updates list, I see this entry for 8/28/08:
Michael Sauers created the discussion thread "Troubleshooting WiFi".
I know that the link for "Troubleshooting WiFi" is bad (see recent post in
Help & Support Discussion) so I follow the link to Michael Sauers personal profile and get to the correct link for "Troubleshooting WiFi" in Michael's Activities list.
When I get to
that page I assume that there may be something on the "Overview" or "Documents" tabs, but when I click on them, I end up on the WJ global homepage.
Perhaps this has something to do with how and where Michael created the discussion, but similar things seem to happen to me when I follow other links in personal profile activities lists of others as well. The same goes for following this link in Laura Crossets public profie:
Laura Crossett replied to the discussion thread
"RE: Welcome to wp4lib!". Maybe what I am experiencing is a bug rather than a missing feature, but either way, I want to be able to make use of personal profiles as a means of navigating not just to specific items of content, but to areas of content in general.
all the best,
Sheila
