So, thank you for cooperate to direct all your other questions else where

Having said that, Here I am with my idea

I was hanging out the "Web Design and Development Forum" under sub-forum "Website Design" and "Website Programming" and I was very disappointed that there is no maintenance being done in that two most important forum.

Website Design is totally different with Website Development/Programming, in fact they are two different job as well. A website designer and a website developer! I consider myself more onto website developer since I code a lot then designing my site. But I do design my own site as well...

Design = will closely related to CSS, Selecting Theme Color, Graphic, Page Layout, etc...
Develop/Programming = mostly related to programming languages like ASP, PHP, .NET, HTML, XHTML, JavaScript, XML, etc...

Ok, to my point!
I am suggesting that we have to separate each of the programming language and create their own sub-forum like this:

Program Your Website - (WMF - Website Programming)

ASP Forum
ASP.NET Forum
PHP Forum
JavaScript Forum
XML, RSS & Atom
Java, JSP, Cold Fusion
Perl, Python, Ruby and Others

Design Your Website - (WMF - Website Design)

HTML Forum
CSS Forum
Flash & Multimedia Forum
Graphics Forum

This will looks much more professional and structured, don't they?
Cheers..

wow, great suggestion there monie

i think for the reason why the section was not being done so specifically is bcoz still not much ASP, PHP, Perl, RoR etc those kinda programmers in here "yet" to aid or even to ask question.

TBH I think that WMF is one of the popular forum in Malaysia.
I dont think Programmers/Designer have no question regarding that programming langages

We can start by structuring out our forum so that people will enjoy staying here!
I don't know how the layout of this forum before this, and I know this is your new skin and perhaps a new layout too. But if it is the same structure as before, we can do much better

Sorry... currently the forum is messy! You can see a lot of diferrent question in Website Design that are not related to designing a website! Same goes to the Website Programming as well!

Example for UNRELATED question in the Website Design Forum:
