Note that "FC2 Test 2" is not a core release... it is a *testing* release 
in preparation for the actual FC2. The "core" releases are those which do 
not bear the "test" designation. Once FC2 is released, then both FC1 and 
FC2 topics will be valid on this list.

A large part of the (good and valid) reason for this is that the bugs and 
issues encountered in core releases vs. testing releases are entirely 
different, so it makes sense so show those comments and questions to 
different groups of people, those who are actually *using* the program and 
OS versions with which someone is having problems. It makes the chances of 
actually getting help much better.

If you ask about an up2date problem in FC2 Test 2 on this list, very few 
people will be using that program... most (nearly all) of us are on FC1. So 
you are not likely to get as much help, and maybe some people will waste 
their time (and yours) giving you answers which do not apply to you at all.

Cheers,
