What do you think about this idea for the FORUMS??

i'm sorry to jump a-little aside from that topic.
there are a large number of things that must be done to improve and there are some negative things have been done so far while i'm using this site.
-- somehow audiogon became much slower than it used to be. it's even it is noticable with 750kb/s DSL.
-- an ultra-long waiting time for moderation someway blocks us to speak to each-other. it certainly disorganizes responces.
-- i still do not understand how the moderation works here. is every post being read manually by the human or it just goes into the sytem?
-- i loved the separate section of the virtual systems and the way it used to look and do not understand why it had been re-arranged here.
-- to generalize the author's proposition i would create a profile section for all members.

Marakanetz, good points. I also liked the way the systems were before, but I like the picture option they added. It was nice to see the $$ total of the system and of each component without having to click on each link. I think they are trying to save bandwidth? Text sure doesn't take much bw so why not have it all come up in one page?

While we are "wishing", I'd love to be able to tag thread to be followed without having to post in that thread.

I agree it would be useful to *see* where the other person is coming from regarding discussions, etc.

KP, what I do if I want to tag a thread that I haven't posted to is put it in my favorites. My audio section of favs has over 200 links. For example: http://audiogo5.iserver.net/cgi-bin/fr.pl?gmusi&976325372&openfrom&1&4#1

Excellent idea indeed. We have made some changes to the information that appears when you click on any writer's username. It will now show any Virtual Systems posted. Also, each member's entire forum history is now viewable, in what we think is a pretty interesting manner. Try clicking on some Usernames, and let us know what you guys think.
