Personally, having had experience with Page Plus and AF Publisher, if the AS Publisher is not much different, I'd stick with Page Plus, especially with 124 pages, unless there is something in AS Publisher you want to achieve that Page Plus can't do.

I think that one needs to ask 'What does a user with a problem want when they go to a forum?'
They are agitated enough by the problem and may have bald patches or no hair at all.
I have been on many forums where it is impossible to find the right section without lots of searching through, only to find no answer and give up and go back to pulling out the remaining strands.
So I think clear signposting on the landing page is important - rather like what is now fast disappearing - a department store. Gentlemen’s floor One - they only need a small section of one floor for all their needs it seems. Ladies: Floor Two lingerie, Floor Three Shoes etc.

I like Ali's suggestion, but agree with Alfred about the General and Cross Product 'floor' - why bother having three distinct floors if all the buckets and mops are mixed with the beds and sofa's, shoes, make-up and perfume, cat litter and dog treats on the Ground Floor, or even the Basement.

Affinity Publisher, for example. could have sections, perhaps:

AF PUB-
           |_Mac OS
           |_Ipad
           |_Windows

and the same format for the other applications, so with a couple of clicks one would find oneself on the right floor with a list of the current queries, a quick scroll or search (limited to that floor only) would soon have you reading an answer, or in the absence of such, formulating ones own cry for help.

That's my sixpence worth, or should that be 'tanners worth', anyway.

A small edit.

Alfred is too much of a gentleman to mention it I am sure, so to avoid all the throat-clearing, tie-straightening and shoe-shuffling
and general prevaricating and beating-about-the-bush, may I suggest a discreet 'Donate' button to help with the defraying of costs that are likely to accrue with this additional rise in traffic and administration? I know, I know, but it had to be broached, forget I mentioned it, but there it is.

This is true, and I have rescued files in this way when the DPP or whatever file became unopenable.

Not had it myself, but ones like it in the past. It's Heinz and they are usually pretty good I find. I imagine the predominant flavour is tomato with basil in the background. It doesn't look lumpy, and if it is whizz it up in the blender?
It is new, the blurb states that they haven't made it before.

It is a cunning device to prevent - by choice - people thinking, learning to spell, do arithmetic, learning to research in books and look things up for themselves generally. It tells you things and shows you things, it will write your speech, your essay, the newspaper article you referred to. It will tell you what it want's you to know, that is what your masters want you to know.

It is a crutch for the brain to get used to, and like legs that rely on such will wither away, so too will your brain.

Your thinking will be done for you, it will make your choices:

Now-
Person: "Alexa, what shall I have for breakfast?"
Alexa: "You could have eggs and bacon or toast and marmalade, or cornflakes ... etc."

Soon-
Alexa: "Your breakfast is ready, eat it now."
Person: "I will eat my breakfast now."

In short, people are being dumbed down to follow orders, to accept - without question - what they are told, do what they are told.

At the moment it all seems so wonderful and whizzy and people love using it - saves all that brain power for surfing, game-playing, TV watching et-al. But slowly and surely people will give up independent thought, critical thinking and decision making and become Borg-like automatons. A good read is E M Forster's 'The Machine Stops' for a glimpse into the 'almost there' future.

I've just seen this. Am I too late?

I'm still traumatised by the removal of Button 'A' and 'B' phones; cut off my source of sweets revenue that did, as well as the mounting excitement as you approached the phone box, will it payout today?

All this technological advancement is all very well and convenient, and I use it - mainly because there is no option, but I don't know, somehow the 'instant-on', 'instant communication', 'instant gratification', 'Instant Information', 'tap'n'go' the supercalifragilisticexpialidociousness of it all seem to drain something out of life.

E. M. Forsters 'The Machine Stops' (1909) seems to be where we are heading. Well worth reading or listening to:

And no, the irony of providing the link is not lost on me, but what can you do?

More moons ago than I care to remember, I was installing windows 95 on a friends computer, it would go so far then say it couldn't find the disk. After 8 hours on this problem - doing what what we did back then, disassemble, unplug replug reassemble etc., etc., it dawned on me to copy the entire disc to the hard drive and install from there. Which I did, et voila! A perfect install.
So I recommend copying the disk to your hard drive and trying again.
