Many of us discovered great bands and albums on this site, but, naturally, we don't have time to listen to every single of our discoveries right after we found them. While it's completely comprehensive to simply list the band/album in a .txt file, why not instead incorporate a bookmarking functionality on the site? It would be rather simple, and useful to many members. First, the developers would create a table in the database, very simple stuff, foreign key and such. Then, you add a line below the "Write a review" with something like "bookmark this album" and a little star, which upon clicking, would be colour-filled (just like you do with a review). Pretty simple AJAX stuff. Then, it'd be added a line on the "log in" page - below "edit your old reviews" saying "check your bookmark list". In the list there would be the band and album name and the genre; a "remove this bookmark" button in the extreme-right and a 1-5 star rating (similar to how there's on the album page). Upon being rated, the album would be removed from the bookmark. So, what do you guys think? I believe that one programmer can do this in, like, one day, even less. |

Thanks Quinino! And to any mod/admin reading this, I might even add I myself would volunteer to do this.

Why it's not enough to add bookmarks to a folder in your browser? ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

Haaaaa, Eugene, it might be "enough" (clever optional suggestion, btw) but surely not so elegant, we have to concede that |

Jose, you know M@X does not have much time to fix existing bugs, I don't think he'll implement new non-essential features. Even if at first glance new feature looks like "very simple stuff" in reality it needs not to be only implemented, but tested as well. New features often lead to new bugs, so I guess forget the elegance.  ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

But wait, Eugene, that's all the beauty in life - the nonessential, superfluous, not expected, innovative ... As I think about it, it's like the @ in M@x, so I bet our friend could well surprise us on this one, you'll see |

| Would he be accepting voluntaries? I'd gladly program this little feature because it'd benefit both me and a lot of other people (as I expect). Putting into perspective this site is rather big, I think it's difficult for a single lad to need to worry about all its bugs. |
