Dave, I am quite happy with the layout of the forum as it is as far as navigation etc. As a couple others mentioned, I would like to have an indicator to which threads I’ve posted to. I forget sometimes [:I] [;)]. It would be useful and easier to track a thread down especially after it’s moved off the first page, or if I’ve slept since then. Also the tree at the bottom as Robert mentioned would be nice too and I think you’ve already got that ready to go.
Again, y’all are doing a great job, especially in trying to make the forum what we want of it!!
I’m with DJ on this one. I also like the idea the folded tree at the bottom of the page and some kind of indicator to let me know where I’ve posted.
This is the only forum I visit so I really have nothing to compare it to, but it doesn’t stop me from visiting every chance I get.
I just though of something. I would like to see a clock with the current time where you are so that when I look at the time that I or someone else posted I don’t have to do math
I’ve only been a member of the Community since Aug this year and have found the forums to be excellent. To me it has been a good tool and information base to see what is happening in the rest of the modelling world, I like to think of it as a world wide modelling club.

Dave, I think this is a great site y’all have put together, sure has helped me come along alot. As far as improvements, of all the forums I have ever used, this is the bst as far as lay out and looks. I agree also about something to mark places I have posted, other than that keep up the good work and maybe I can get away from here to get some building done.
Hi and thanks for the forum,i visit it every day if possable. there’s nothing that i would change really other that i would like to see a wanted forum, if you have it so that we can post requests but they can’t be answered on the thread, only by e-mail that should mean that FSM has no comebacks if anything should go wrong with a deal that someone is making as the deal wasn’t done through the forum i also would like to see a vacforming/resin thread, also we all have membership no’s is there any way of finding what mine is? or maybe having it in our profiles?. again a big thank you to you and the rest of the team for this exellent site. Greg
I have noticed that some of the type formats and a few other non-essential doohickies seem to be somewhat Mac unfriendly. At least on mine.
And I know this is an expensive request, but what about asking Santa for a new server for storing members pics? Y’know, add a members photos topic and allowing everybody one small pic that they could change from time to time. Might make it easier for dolts like me to explain what just went wrong with my model. -ie “hey Bob, did I just glue the wings of my mk I on upside down?”
Other than that, I’m very thankful for this site. I’ve learned more here in the last year than I have in my last 20 years of modeling.[:)]
Hmm…I’m beginning to worry about the upgrade. Everyone seems happy so far and here I’m going to go changing things on you all. Not good…I wonder if I can get away with saying it was Eric’s (erush) idea (inside joke). [;)]
In regards to membership no.'s – we really don’t have or have assigned membership no.'s. There are id numbers, but those are record id’s, not really meant as a membership no. If your curious though, your id # is 7291. The id # isn’t a secret or anything either. If you look at the link to a member’s profile, you’ll see the id number.
Mac unfriendly? What OS and browser are you using? I’ll check it out.
the ability to post photos with no need fot external host site…just copy and paste…although there will be space availability problems. Agreed with chat , pitty that msn seems to suggest that most of the chatters are paedophiles or terrorists.
When I click on the format buttons it just adds gibberish to my message but it dosen’t show up in the post. ie: clicking on the bold button adds to my message but it dissappears when I post it.
Might be all the Pop-Tart crumbs in my keyboard.[:p]

ps: How about some new smilies that look like little tanks and planes and stuff. [:D]
Hello Dave,
All of my comments that I made in my Topic Thank You FSM still apply. If anything I’m even more thankful now for such a wonderful place to voice my opinions and listen to advice from other people who are as serious about modeling and aviation as I am. I agree we need a clock on this site as one day last week I spent 6 hours on here without realizing it! I would also love a chatroom if I can get this dinosaur diguised as a computer will handle it. I have been in other chatrooms that froze my computer and I would have to completely restart everything. Thanks for giving us modelers a voice and Thank You for including us in your plans!!!
Really nice job Dave!! I noticed you incorporated almost all the changes I can remember someone asking about in the new layout. Thanks for the hard work!!
