José Luis Sánchez in avemundi continues his series of learnings since the release of Cuaderno de Bitácora (version 6) and el Puchero (version 4) last November.
error #3: Poner unos foros en la web sin integrarlos correctamente. (Putting up forums on the web without integrating them correctly). When he launched the new web site, José Luis set up a forum using phpBB. Unfortunately when users moved from the web site to the forum, it appeared to them that they were leaving the web site and going to some other site, making them confused and giving them a poor impression.
