I'm, just curious here, how often do people here visit the Knowledge Vault? Please respond with a percentage of visits to the XBoard. |

I go to the KV when I want to research a particular problem. That would be once in a while. I go to the XB board when ever there is a lull in the computer work, to see if anyone has come up with anything interesting, or has a question that I might be able to possibly help answer. |

Probably 90% XBoard and 10% Knowledge Vault. I'd go more but so many people post their problems/answers/etc. specfic to the XB on this board so I always ask/look on here for anything. |

The knowledge vault's interface is not as user friendly as the XBboard - so I'm afraid I visit it very rarely. But what the h**l are the "Quickboard", "Stormfronts" and "Old school"? (Message edited by lenb on July 25, 2006) |

I don't think I have ever found what I was looking for in the "KV". I have tried several times on different subjects and have the same results. The rest of the board works great for me. I don't know how to make it work better for me, so I go there as a last resort..........Charlie |

It really depends on if anything comes up on the search in the KV that I have something to say about. For pleasure I cruise primarily the quickboard and the XBoard. |

There is a knowledge Vault? I go there once in a while but end up falling back to the XBoard and Quick Board for most of my browsing needs. I hit storm fronts more often than the KV. And Blake has made me feel ashamed.......................![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/joker.gif) |

Let me answer my own question.... XBoard 98% Knowledge Vault 1% Everything Else 1% I like the concept of the Knowledge Vault, but it is difficult to keep up to date on the latest with its stratification of subject material. I visit BWB probably 4-6 times per day, often for only a few moments each time. I just don't have time to work my way through all the sub-topics in the Knowledge Vault. So if it doesn't get posted on XBoard, I probably won't see it. That is, unless I am searching for something specific and it just so happens to show up in the Knowledge Vault. It would appear to make more sense to have the Knowledge Vault serve as an archive for retired threads that contain specific technical advice or information. Of course, this would require someone to parse through the old threads and decided what goes where... a laborious task indeed. |

It's worth pointing out, if everyone used the KV from the get go, if they have anything of technical merit or similar to post there, whatever is fresh posted will always be found if the 'search for new messages since I last searched' facility were used by all every time we come to the BadWeB. Putting fresh KV stuff in the right place is of major importance too. Using the search facility, I find remembering 'key' words from certain past threads helps, but a certain amount of patience and time is often required. But then again, there's a lot of information has passed into the archives in 8 years. Rocket |
