Eric:
In English, that is a Shopping Trolly.
In American, it is a Shopping Cart.
FTFY 
The âcaddyâ the web page speaks of isnât actually the cart itself, but an accessory that fits on the cart handle.
So, strictly speaking, caddy isnât quite rightâŚ
But youâre right about the symbolâs meaning. No guessing needed there.
Jon,
Iâve got to go with RW on this one. As was pointed out to me, they speak English. The mangled mess we speak (you and I) is American.
You guys really have too much free time!!

I think the votes are in!
71% think that the âforumâ should be called âForumâ, whilstâŚ
22% think it should be called âCommunityâ

But 14 voters is hardly representative. On that basis, the rest plus seven donât give a monkeyâs. Or is it that the ones that didnât vote couldnât find it because it is called âCommunityâ? Now thereâs a thought.
Although the poll was closed off at 14 votes, I had assumed that the heavy lean towards âforumâ had been considered significant enough to demonstrate the preference of the community and the change to âforumâ was imminent.

The âstore - shopâ name-change was made with the same number of votesâŚ
I think weâre going to go with the half way house âCommunity Forumâ. Iâm afraid the âcommunityâ URL is now set in stone. I still really like the warm fuzzy connotations of âcommunityâ. I think there is benefit if calling the new forum the âCommunity Forumâ which creates differentiation from the old âForumâ.
At the end of the day the name doesnât really matter. Itâs how we use it that counts!
At the risk of proving unpopularâŚ
âWhy ask the community to vote, if youâre not going to follow itâs consensusâ
The âcommunity forumâ got just 7% of the votes, whilst âforumâ got 10x as many!

It would also be quite a contradictory term now and consequently not so âwarm and fuzzyâ.
The main concern is the navigation not so much the url, nobody will be typing out the url each time, but spotting a âforumâ link when hunting for the forum is important.
The words at the top of the forum pages are equally less important, you can call it anything at all once users find it. âCommunity forumâ at the head of the forum pages and âforumâ in all the links and nav bars everywhere else would be both functional and fuzzy 
If the users canât find it, it matters.
I agree with Paul
âCommunityâ is used by other sites (see Microsoft and Apple) so there is a precedent. Opening it up for a vote might have been a mistake (and a lesson learnt), but if @glyn.hudson feels the outcome is not right, then I can understand not changing it.
Forgive me if it sounds silly, but doesnât [quote=âpb66, post:33, topic:549â]

come before
because if the visitor canât easily spot the link, everything that might otherwise follow is irrelevant.

Disappointing, but at the end of the day G & T must make decisive decisions about the direction of openenerymonitor, because itâs what their livelihood depends upon.
If it goes against the advise of others and fails, then so be it.
If I felt strongly about an issue, Iâd have done the same.
IMO @Gwil 's post probably is a fair summary, âshouldnât of asked, if you donât want the answer!â

I have to admit I have been out voted on this one. We will use âForumâ when we refer links to this site from our other sites. I have updated the OEM homepage.
I find it hard to believe that a user would totally fail to find the forum if we called it âcommunityâ. As @Gwil mentioned many high profile sites are now using âcommunityâ rather than forum. I believe much of this change of name is due to the negative connotations attached to âforumsâ of the past e.g. old clunky php and vbulletin boards and overly corporate single dimension âsupport forumsâ. I like to think our new âforumâ is something more and deserves an updated title.
We will keep the URL and the site title as âCommunity Forumâ
