Does it make it clear that Aspose.Words is about Document Conversions, Programming, Rendering and Reporting?

Do you think it is suitable to have on the product home page http://www.aspose.com/categories/file-format-components/aspose.words-for-.net-and-java/default.aspx?

Hiding entire thread to focus on single post.

As a support developer, many times, I want the customer to see only a single post not the complete thread. Because, either thread is too long or it has many mixed up discussions, which can potentially confuse the new customers. Many times, confusion creates more confusion.

 

So, what I do is, I right click the post id and copy the URL to notepad e.g

http://www.aspose.com/community/forums/permalink/80171/80171/showthread.aspx#80171

  • and so on
