Default For Webmasters of AW

Hi...

I'm just wondering if AW is planning to switch to a bulletin board software in the future (like many other web forums are using)?

The only issue I have with the current software is that I cannot "bump" my posts to the top - the sorting of messages is based on the date of the original message in decending order.

Therefore, a user may not be able to see my message if my message is only 2 days old, unless the user goes through the first few pages (given the high volume of usage of AW, it's not surprising that a 2 day old message may end up on the 2nd or 3rd page).

This will surely affect the probability of my message/question being answered. In order to have my message seen by new users/visitors, I'll need to post another message asking the same questions in order to put my post at the top, which I don't really want to do, because I think this is a waste of storage space for AW.

Default AW moves faster than days.

If your post has an answer, it will be answered within 30 minutes or so. Most people here prefer the AW format to others, I know I do.

Default Didn't believe me in my post to you in A6?

This has been thoroughly hashed out on several occasions. Please read the threads<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/feedback/msgs/17876.phtml">here, and get some experience with this forum software. Then get back to us.</a></li></ul>

Default No. The members of this forum collectively HATE bulletin board style forums.

Kawf is the only thing that keeps me here.

Default

users can have posts collapsed which effectively does the same thing. I like AW's version better.

Default Learn how to use the forum software.

The track thread feature eliminates the need for bumping. There is NOTHING worse than the forum software that bubbles threads to the top.
