I cannot believe that - you must be experiencing what I call AOL weirdness -
it is their HOME PAGE with links to all sorts of stuff like the advertisers
who finance the site & want people to go places other than the forums - here
are links I use to some of the individual N4 forums

http://news400.com/Forums/Index.cfm?cfapp=52
This is their Y2K forum - which I mentioned in the BPCS User Groups posting &
also earlier in another context - my BPCS conversion postings there started
around November I think

http://www.news400.com/Forums/Main.cfm?CFApp=55
This is the forum on CL tips & techniques

http://www.news400.com/Forums/Main.cfm?CFApp=56
This is the forum on deciphering the weird & wonderful world of DDS

http://www.news400.com/communities/rpgprogrammer/index.htm
This is their HOME PAGE for the RPG Community in which there are individual
forums on the various flavors of RPG - I generally hang out on the Green
Screen RPG area in which it is a bit heavy with RPG ILE & IV stuff when I am
still struggling with RPG III, but when I preface my questions with RPG III &
V#R# I get more focused help - they also have Visual RPG & other varieties ---
there's also a great Style Guide

This is called "User Group Announcements" but my guess is that User Groups do
not know that it exists & many new visitors to N4 do not know what a User
Group is

http://www.news400.com/forums/Main.cfm?CFApp=53
This is a forum for people who are in the business of providing AS/400
education & they have technical issues for each other like certification

http://www.news400.com/forums/Main.cfm?CFApp=9
This is for general technical questions that do not fall into any of the
special forums, but the stuff here is all over the AS/400 map

Notice how the URL is very similar except for an App number on the end - yes
you can get from one to a directory of the others for cut/paste/bookmarking
into your AOL Favorite Places or whatever ISP tools you use - but you have to
get to one of them first.  This is not a complete list of N4 forums, just
those that intrigued me enough to bookmark them - and I do re-visit from time
to time, but I have been on MC forums of late, which I will place in a
separate posting.

I hope that this format of my sharing possibilities helps some BPCS_L folk
connect to some place that is meaningful to you.
