Advice from the Pros is open!!!!

Perhaps the new section will prove to be more useful for the novice than the general section. In the general section a question is answered by many members and as we have seen we all have different opinions and many of them biased. If in this new section the person asking for advise receives only one answer it could be possible that that particular person will be better served than when many answers are received which invites to more confusion.
Time will tell how useful the new section will be.

Why?
I made a post to the "Advice from the Pros" section and wanted to make a change to that post.
What if I have to answer a Question from the Pro. Is there 2 way communication?
Just a thought.

That hurts. I'm sure it will be worked out. Were it me for now at least, I'd send a PM to "someone". they could then post your answer to their question.

Thank you for creating this new section! Hopefully, I just successfully subscribed. This site has taught me so much over the past couple years, but this section will be perfect for me (and others). No fear of snarky comments, just professional advice/help!
Thanks!
Patty
Thanks!

I enjoy the occasional, well-worded "snarky" comment; I hope the pros will contribute in that respect as well.

A very important thought.
As I understand it, there will be no exchange of ideas or clarifying questions permitted--except from the pros themselves.
That, I consider a less than fruitful arrangement.

The person who originated the question should be able to further post in the thread in case the "Pros" need more information to answer properly.

I have a thought! If this forum isn't set up to your liking, don't visit. Pretty simple and a hell of a lot more civil.

Yes and this is my case. I created the thread to ask the question. I have a response that said he doesn't understand. I can't post another to explain.

"Please note that by default only mentors and moderators are allowed to reply to a thread."
In the usual UHH forum thread one gets: (1) expert advice (2) strong conflicting opinions and (3) completely wrong answers, all for the reader to sort out.
This will be (1) without the others. It is a great idea.
Allowing follow up questions to an answer would be good. Perhaps a method to send a PM follow up to the mentor, and the mentor can post it and reply?

I said I would visit the "forum" and read it daily.
But, as you have demonstrated, an exchange of ideas, is valuable.
I see no reason to fix what is not broken; by exclusion.

It's detrimental to divide a forum like that. Advice given by members in the main section is now considered 2nd tier advice.

Apparently.
The pros are disingenuous in the Main Discussion; and need to be more honest in an alternate forum-where they cannot be questioned.
Makes sense to me.

Ron, don't know if you're taking suggestions for mentors, but one of the best, most knowledgeable and helpful posters is amfoto1. Another is burkphoto.

Where were all these complaints in the seemingly endless threads leading up to the new section??? That was the time to complain!!!
