I get what you are trying to do.  it's just messy how you did it.
it doesn't work. tradional users will be confused because it's not something they are used to, new users will be confused because it's so convoluted.

Did you ASK your users? perhaps you need to have it organized by network and then have an option to send them to 'computer help' msg subs. it's easy to do

YOU think it's a logical way for users.  it probably confuses them.
go ahead and do what you want to do,  you obviously can't take sincere criticism.
