Originally posted by ZundianI curious as to why there even is a test forum. Everything can be seen on your profile page, so why the extra space?
Mostly to test out board features (hyperlinking and whatnot), test HTML code that you really can only see by putting it in a messsage box, and....I'm sure there are other things too that I'm not thinking of. But yeah, most of what people want to check can inevitably also be found just by clicking on their own profile page.
Also, the admins sometimes need a "public" forum to test stuff out - like, my last reply was REALLY so I could make sure the Y! icons were working as well as a chance for me to repeat myself (which I do love) so that was a two birds deal.
