Download section..

Many times i see a post that I know I've seen a download that helps them.

But I find myself having to scroll thru the whole list sometimes.

I thought It would be helpful when you clicked on downloads it then broke them down into (for example)

-White pages
-Tools
-Games
-Importing & Exporting Data
-Etc
-Etc

You know what I mean?

    Little trick:
    Use "Search the forum" and search only in the download section for what you want. Once you find what you need, click the link and you can download.

    I saw it was an old post of Luc. I think he didn't put the links in it yet, but you can solve that:

    [...]

    Remember there is also a Search-function on the download pages: http://www.mibuso.com/searchdl.asp .

    Whenever a new download is available, a new topic is created in the Download section forum and the link "Discuss this download in the forum" is displayed on the particular download page. I guess this procedure was introduced somewhere in 2003. This means that older downloads, don't have a topic in the Download section of the forum.

    This is an idea I already have for a long time. But the problem with these categories is that there are always downloads that belongs to more than 1 category (eg: a White Paper discussing NAS and Message Queue for use on the web: this belongs to White Paper, E-Commerce).

    And because this site is not (or should not be) only Navision-related, you would end up with:

    Navision -> White papers
    Navision -> Tools
    Axapta -> White papers
    Axapta -> Tools

    or

    White papers -> Navision
    White papers -> Axapta
    Tools -> Navision
    Tools -> Axapta

    I appreciate any thoughts on this subject. Thx for bringing this up.

    mibuso.com is more than just a forum. You can search for downloads in the download section of the site (http://www.mibuso.com/searchdl.asp).
