Never heard of Safari.

There comes a time when we can't please everyone -- 99,5% of the Internet users are using either Internet Explorer or Netscape, so if the technology works for them, we're not gonna scrap a very useful tool bar just to please those of you out there who want to be fancy by using Opera, Safari or whatever program that is not "mainstream".

It should be Opera's and Safari's work to make sure their software is compatible, not ours.

The last comment obviously comes from someone who doesn't work with customers :nono:, or works for Microsoft... ;)

I never said that you should scrap the menu-bar, I just said that you could provide an alternative for those of us left in the 0.5%. My suggestion was a site-map with regular "a href" links, and/or regular "a href" links a'la the menu-bar at the very bottom of every page. This would satisfy the last 0.5% and turn the site from good to great, assuming that it is your objective to have a great site that is...

Explorer is a Windows-only product. Safari is the browser for Mac. I know we've been discussing Opera support before. I would recommend you to at least try the latest version of Opera, you may get hooked. If you don't testdrive other cars, you'd be stuck driving a Ford...

Don't worry, if the next version is indeed in .NET, it is quite fully compatible with everything, and the menus I would use are Infragistic's ones, I hope they did their work ok ;)

As for the site map, ever tried that link?

Yes, I use safari, I got used to the smoosh navigation bar.

Not blaming NOOl for my browser problem, just waiting for apple to make their browser more compatible with more sites. :)

Erhm, kind of hard to find it if the menu-bar doesn't work... But thanks for the link though, makes life a little bit easier...

Hum, not to bug anyone, but there is nobody yet that made a lot of comments on enhancements of the data model...

Meaning, what would you want to have MORE in each place..

Too many people focused on content, it's not a bad thing, but this has nothing to do with the next version.

Right now I'm talking functionailities and enhancements to the frame, not the content!

As for addings pictures, there are already tons of pictures on this site in the concert sections, don't forget about those!

Hi. Could you add an option in Song Browser.

by chronological order.

example: http://planeta.terra.com.br/arte/neworderbrasil/crono.htm

I think it is not hard to make it work since you have a database system.

Thanks. Carlos

I'd like to see: a "preview" button when writing replies, so that the messages can be previewed in full html-gory before submitted.

This have already been asked, so I'll add 2 checkboxes..

  • Preview (unchecked by default)
  • Stay in Topic (checked by default)

I'll probably store the preferences in the cookies..

When entering a thread with lots of replies would it be possible to have a button at the top that takes you to the first new post since you last visited that thread ?
