I don't know if you noticed, but I did make the words "Reply by:" an anchor link that will jump you up the page to the post that any message is a reply to. As with any anchor link, it doesn't work so great at the bottom of the page, but I was hoping it would help on long threads.

I thought that this was any okay way to help non-threaded users figure out the thread without adding to much clutter or overly intensive database calls.

Let me know what you think.

This is a test post to assure myself that re-registration worked.

Has there ever been any thought given to a Vegas Video forum,specifically for newbies, (like me), or would this serve no useful purpose?

When I have a question, that I've tried to find the answer elsewhere first, I vacilate, -- "to post or not to post? " How do the majority of them view newbie questions and do any of THEM wish we had our own forum? I wonder.

Having said all this I may, or may not, be posting a question later today.

Could we please be allowed to TRULY delete posts that we create that no-one has yet responded to? That would at least allow us to clear up any "Accidental" posts (like the many duplicate posts today for instance).

Thanks.

Far as I know, we all usually look at a post that suggests that we may be able to help, or we may well me able to learn something buy reading it (and then we usually give our 2 cents +/-)

As it seems that all is running smooth here in our happy little forum, I just wanted to reiterate my desire to remove the " " Last edited by " from posts. I, as others, have already expressed several reasons why.

Also would still LOVE to have the ability to use " sigs " as in other forums. Not graphics or anything quite that obnoxious, but a simple line or two as you see mine below. It doesn't detract or clutter things up and would make things a little easier.

My own opinion is - I prefer the "last edited by" stays. I appreciate there is a different opinion... but just wanted to make sure that it didn't seem as if there was only one opinion here. As a general rule - if I make a substantial change / addition to a post I will put a little explaination myself anyway... but nevertheless I personally like the fact there is a message placed there by the system.

One more request, that you'll probably ignore. How about putting a sequential number on the right side of the columm, so when I'm scrolling down, I can find where I left off in a second? I think it would really come in handy in long threads. Like this one.

How about a "goto post #" option on the SEARCH screen. When you get:

Displaying Matches 101 - 200 (18844 total)

and you know you are looking for something really old, you could, say, go straight to post 18500 without hitting "Next" 185 times.

There is ? . .. Isn't the line under the line ion the post page for this? Under the Forum List line? Isn't that the thing? You can go straight to a post number - if that is what you want - no?

Grazie

No, Grazie. NOT on the Posts screen - on the SEARCH RESULTS screen.
Grazie wrote on 3/15/2005, 9:41 PM
Yes, Edward, I did understand about the search screen, honest. But wouldn't this help you? No? Are you wishing for a kind of NNN <= X => NNNN search option? Wonder if you could make some code for this?!?

Seems a shame we got this in the screen I mentioned, and not within the other you mentioned. I would have thought it must be a simple case of duplicating the fields for that page - and maybe allowing for some kind of Boolean search? But what do I know?

Ok . .My wish .. building on Edward's Search thang!

Having just done a Search for Motion Blur, I was offered more than one page - no surprise there - but, and this has been galling me for sometime now, can we have the "next page" and "previous page" buttons repeated at the bottom of each search report page so I don't have too scroll back up through the 100 presented to then page forward or backwards. It would be a natural research process resulting in a simple enhancement to what is already a major asset for Sony - I thank you.

Grazie


. . . and yes, my edted post here waws purely about my ribbish spulling, and nothung elkes! And I'm nit buying parinood efer! KO? Good, I'm gled I clared that oop.

Sometimes I search just the subject lines looking for a particular topic, but other times I have to search whole threads that may have a subject line different than what I am looking for but still contain valuable info on my desired subject inside. Would automatically highliting the word(s) I have searched for be possible with the current forum design? Right now, I use IE "Find" funtion once I am inside the thread but that is cumbersome.

Netscape does this too. ;)

Today I logged in on another computer and, later, logged back out. This evening my normal computer was not automatically logged in (like it has been every use since the change-over). So when you log out on any machine it logs you out on all machines????

Apparently so. They must only allow one cookie to be tracked at a time.

Sony - I don't suppose theirs any chance that a thread starter could be given the ability to lock his/her own thread? just a thought, but it might put too much power in the hands of the users. Anyway - thanks for all you guys do, sorry if any of my posts caused more trouble.

yeah, apparently hotmail regards sony as spam, which stinks.

does registering our email addresses mean we're going to get a whole bunch of spam now? Is this a way to make money by selling registered email adresses, or is it to truly provide better service? maybe this will intimidate people who aren't really serious about the forum. (good/bad?) glad I'm finally back on now.

I wish we had the option to see threads that were responding to "Ignored Users" as there are often great tidbits of information in those responses.
