SUGG: Get rid of email address on home page

Damian McGrath · September 2009

I know that Logos 4.0 has been purposefully designed so as not to function like any other windows program, thus inspiring serendipitous discoveries, BUT the presence of my email address on the home page is annoying.

In other Windows' programs (yes I know its not meant to be anything like any other Windows program), the presence of a hyperlinked email address is a sign that one can send an email to that address.

I really did wonder when I first hovered over my email address why I would need to send myself an email from the program when I could just talk to myself here and now (something which I've done a lot of lately during reindexing) or even pick up a pen and write a note on the back of my hand.

I discovered that clicking on my email address opened My Home: the place on the web that one day in the future will offer me unimaginable delights. Why not just stick a link on the GO bar that says "My Home"????

While I agree with you Damian, I believe it serves as a help to tech support. When people call for help (and you know they will by the thousands) all the tech support person has to say is, "What's the email address listed on top of your home page?"

Yeah there are other ways of doing it, but I think that's why (FWIW).

Thomas, that actually makes sense. It's sad but it's logical.

Alas I may have to live with the annoyance - or they could remove the hyperlink....

L4 is actually suppossed to be designed to reduce those support calls but I think you are right, there will be thouands....
