i voted for thought as the best bit cos it is really even if i cant work out the searches. i come here mainly for the forums but the thought bit is well handy when i dont understand or am trying to make sense of something.

Why isn't "The British one" an answer?

I wouldn't say it was the worst part of the site, but I reckon the history section has grown considerably worse over the years, mainly because now it's a bit more difficult to navigate around than it used to be when you had all the articles arranged in different catergories and they were all linked to on the same page, as opposed to now where the section is split up into about fifty pages with links to only about ten or so articles on each one. The search function is great if you're looking for something specific, but I used to like spending time just browsing through the articles.

yeh, i want to be able to browse categories too. i keep thinking that there is a way and its probably right there in front of me, but i just cant find it..

If you make urls like this:
http://libcom.org/history/tags/strikes
http://libcom.org/history/tags/uk
then you can view history articles by category, hope that helps!

Yeah history section is hard to navigate and hasn't been kept up like library. A lot of the history articles have awkward/grammatically incorrect phrasing and structure. I think a group effort to update and clean up the history section would be a good idea. Perhaps have certain portal pages for various major subjects like the "revolutionary wave" that's in progress now, 1936, the 60s, syndicalism, etc. Though that could be history as well as library/factsheet territory.
I'd also like to see "the everyday manifesto" get finished. I think that would be a pretty useful propaganda tool. A nice little booklet we can hand out at events, marches, pickets etc.

S'all good John. All the site sections are useful and helpful etc etc.

Look at my tears. I mean just fucking look them. There's one over there, another one there - i think there's one rolled under the fridge as well.

You gotta post a photo Reevey darling, otherwise I can't see them. Not the one under the fridge, though. Don't photograph that one, at least not if under your fridge looks anything like under mine. Actually, do. Do post the under the fridge one, then I'll post a picture of mine. There's a name for that game but it slips my mind just now.

Depends on what you mean by the worst. Least useful? Least entertaining? Most NEFAC?
I probably use the history and thought sections the least, but I find the bits I do bother to read pretty interesting. The organise section is a bit boring, but it has some great advice. I enjoy the forums (and every so often something good does come out of them, but you have to admit it's rare), but they're not all that useful. So yeah, it depends on what you're after.

I think thought, probably. Just a little pointless, really. I guess it might be better as just an organised set of links to relevant articles in the library, altho that's just off the top of my head.

I don't think you should be offering up the top of your head tbh. 
can i say which i think is the best? i like the libcommunity bit in the forums the best.
the shittest bit is the thought bit with all the articles, not because its all crap or anything, but just because i cant work out how to search by subject rather than by author or title. its a bit annoying.
