I agree, there should be a relationship section. Im getting bored of seeing the huge stories 13-16year old girls are putting in the body and soul section

PLEASE [edited] PLEASE PLEASE can we have this. Was coming in to post this question as well, if i have to read one more ESSAY about relationships I will die. Thankyou please.

Hello. Please remember that you don't have to read (or answer) questions that you don't like, or want to read.

As discussed elsewhere, we try to keep the number of categories down in order to simplify things. When there is sufficient traffic on a particular sphere of human activity it gets a category of its own. The current crop of reelationship questions is a trend; we'll see if it takes on a life of its own.

Finally, any attempt to create a 50-word limit on questions would cause consternation to many users!

No agreed Ed but that's not the point we never used to have the WHOLE question on the front page, just the title and maybe the first couple of sentences - now we have Question part one and Question part two which is quite frankly ridiculous! Please can you either change it so that the long relationship essays don't take up the entire page or have a relationships section?

I think the agony aunt bit is a good idea or at least a section for relationships. Plus it would free up space for other 'body and soul' questions.

[bernardo]

I disagree. I just ignore the long autobiographies and scroll down the page to the real questions. I would not want a word limit on the question, or even on what appears on the list. It was frustrating when the list did not show the whole question.

[becks]

How was it frustrating? If you wanted to answer you'd have to click on it anyway, so I don't see why that would frustrate you. I agree that I don't want a word limit on the questions, these essays on boys are just annoying though.

Do like this, create a short question and detail immediately in the first answer. You could even rate yourself, then..

[bernardo]

Because deciding whether to post an answer or not depends on knowing what the question is.
