ATG and Usability

I apologize in advance for this, but the ATG site is a usability nightmare. Searching is slow and never seems to find anything. The developer portal is nonsense, contains nothing and is not searchable. The navigation is different on the main page than it is on subsequent pages. And my favorite part - it's impossible to tell what licenses cover which products. One would assume this is basic information.

As bad as that site is, all of the related ATG sites (for technical help, etc) are WORSE! The default search on the ATG User Group doesn't search the forums by default.... what other useful content is there to search? Same can be said for the Dynamo Zone.

To make a bad story terrible, you can't search the forums (of the ATG User Group at least) without logging in. What does this mean? It means google or any other search engine can't actually index the content, so you'll never know what's in there, which makes it useless. Google doesn't know whether ATG is a software firm or deals with walking and cycling tours in europe.

So, I've started my own forum and am asking and answering questions as I go. It's a free, low budget forum, courtesy of Nabble, but might prove useful to someone someday. At least google can index the content, so people can learn from my mistakes.
