They should have used the pianoworld format for forums. From Bob Maret ..

Regards, Bill Most of this discussion mirrors my own feelings about the new system. At first I was just astounded at how difficult it is to use, and to view messages on line, etc. Once I started using it again as an e-mail list it became less onerous, but it still has strong limitations that bother me. However, some of the criticism written recently is overstated, mainly because some people have not taken the time to wade through the instructions to set up the new e-mail subscription. Which is a pain. Once the plain text e-mail format is set up, the new system will function mostly like the old, except it needs to be in plain text format, and you cannot simply attach files to messages. Of course, there are other limitations – but overall, it does work. But having said that, it is very clear that the new setup is disliked by a large percentage of past users, and that the on-line web based version is just plain dumb and disorganized in function. To me, it is all but useless. I checked some of the other companies (all non-profits) that the software vendor advertises as using their software. It appears that all of them have the same semi-dysfunctional format instead of a logical, threaded forum -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
