praise and suggestions

[Jim North]

Hi All,

First of all, I'd like to say how much I enjoy this board and that I have learned much in the short time I have been on it. One of the most important things has been the general tone... it is a pure joy to be able to post a "half baked" idea and not get slammed!

Now the suggestions. I'm not sure of the correct terminology for the:<pre>
[Register] [Edit Profile] [Edit Your Preferences] [Search] [Zero Replies]
[Private Messages] [Memberslist] [Active Members] [FAQ] [Logout]</pre>


... I'll just call them links. I would like to see two more.

Many times I feel, because of the volume we have, that posters can't find their original post to see if they get a response (when they don't check the "notify me by e-mail"). I think we should have a link that does something like "show me the posting I have initiated". Yes, I know there is the search function, but this would be quicker.

Next, (and yes I know I can do this via search) I would like to see a "show me posting I have been active in".

Last idea (or opinion), the "notify me by e-mail" should default to YES.

Thanks again... this IS a great board.

>>> the biggest downfall of Bill Jelens site [this site ] is the easiest question ive ever seen on this board to answer and one no one will disagree – its success, traffic is so high its almost impossible, I get letters re older posts and chase email, I have a book with EVERY post I post to, and I re track my work, its hard and tires me a lot, I just try best I can.

Next, (and yes I know I can do this via search) I would like to see a "show me posting I have been active in".
>> this is covered in enter you userid an all you posts are there, or profile will allow post by user, that’s how my work is tracks as much as it is, so im told

Last idea (or opinion), the "notify me by e-mail" should default to YES.
>> sure I understand


I truly hope that has offered some answer’s
