@frank are there things you think that would make the site better for you? Is it functionality? Is it that the place is new and there’s not much content yet?

Hello Peter,

First of all, congratulations and thanks for the new page.

I had the problem of finding the save button when changing my avatar. I searched in vain for the save button until I pressed the crop button.
An automatic save – similar to changing the background – or a clear label for saving would be helpful here.

@frank The reality of doing this on a budget of $1,000 US is that I’m using all off the shelf sofrware / scripts / plugins and the tool your using is pre-configured by a developer and I’d exceed my $1k budget with changing one feature and there are literally hundreds of them. I’m actually amazed what can be pulled off on that budget. I realize…Read More

I had to check “it’s just alright” at the moment. The big thing for me is that I can’t jump to new posts when I click on a thread yet. Most sites have this and it makes it super easy to see new activity instead of scrolling to get to the new posts. This, along with a “new since last visit” are pretty much dealbreakers for me as far as a regular…Read More

@release Can you post a couple of links to forums that do what you’re describing to that exact point who you feel get it right so I can better understand what you mean. While forum software is pretty cut and dry, I can always see if there’s anything and put the question to the team that developed it to see if there’s any customization I can do…Read More

Gearspace.com. “New Posts”
Bandlab has “Unread Content”

Sorry, it return and I didn’t realize that also means “post thread”. LOL.

VI Control has Latest Posts

A lot of them also have a link in each thread to jump to new posts. On KVR, it’s red. Bandlab was a white dot. Gearspace has a green “New Posts” link. It just makes it much easier to get to the new info quicker.

Again, I have no idea…Read More

@relase LinkedMusicians forums have new posts, read/unread content and subscribe to be updated when new comments are made. So the functionality exists. Were you aware or did you use it and it just wasn’t to your liking?

@release As far as adding functionality, it’s about the scripts and plugins that exist and how up to date they are. The reality of the situation is that all those other forums are for profit businesses that bring in 6 figures or better. I know Mike Greene and what he uses, which like BandLab is a SaaS and, no doubt, a for profit a SaaS is going…Read More

I have a script for unread posts that I want to try out. I realize it’s an important function for many people. If I implement it late tonight or tomorrow morning and tag you in another post in order to get your thoughts and invite others to share their thoughts on the new script, would you be open to it? That is, can you commit to trying it and l…Read More

Thanks, I’m probably not explaining it very well and I’m talking about 2 different things so I apologize for the confusion.

For viewing new posts within the threads….If you go into the Deals forum, (DAW, VI etc) and click on the “Pre-Public Launch Site Issues” thread, it opens on the very first post, and that’s expected….. even though I’ve…Read More

@Release There’s no question that the forums your talking about use forums that have that kind of functionality off the shelf in the platform for that functionality and the one I’m using doesn’t (unsurprisingly, I wish it did). So I have to go and look to see if there’s a developer who wrote the scripts or plugins that provide similar…Read More

I know we’re asking for things that just aren’t there, but it can’t hurt to ask. Feel free to reach out anytime.

I know how this can be overwhelming. I’m sure it’s consumed you for months now.

Like I said, thank you for doing this. It’s a LOT. And we’re all appreciative of the work you’ve done so far.

As far as you’re asking for things that aren’t there, don’t stop. I appreciate it. I’m grateful for your taking the time to go over this. It’s very helpful. And I’m definitely looking to make improvements on the read / unread function. I’m just trying to be candid that I’ve tried four different scripts
/ plugins and I don’t think any of them…Read More
