I thought i'd come with some suggestions to improve this site. What annoys me the most is the seach function on this forum. To only search within the topics is really crap! I used to be able to seach for any word within a discussion, but after that was taken away, so did i basically.. I think this forum is so comlex as it is (too complex really). See how nice progressiveears.com is for instance - it's easy to find everything, and you can seach for anything you want. So please get a proper seach function! |

 You know, you stand a much better chance of being heard if you tone down the aggression. Putting a request in the terms you put yours is just a tad rude. |

I do like the review-section on progarchives by all means, but i just get lost by the 50 (or something) various forum-sites there are here. |

| I am a member of ProgEars too, and finding a thread once it's dropped off the front page can be next to impossible. However, their members like things that way, and we like things the way they are here. Personally, I prefer to have sections rather than all the threads lumped together, but that's just me. |

To seach in the body of the posts use the Google search from the main PA front page and select "forum":  ...it's not perfect, but it works. ------------- What? |

Because you never search for song or album titles in order to play all those games in JFF ! |

Personally I wouldn't have minded the forum to contract a bit - to put the categories grouped together below here to one part of the forum. And to have a prog lounge and and off-topic section (General Discussions) shown in a manner inspired by Prog Ears, by for instance letting the 20 most resent posts be show below the header on the "frontpage" of the forum. But that's just me I guess. ---------------------- Prog Music Lounge Prog Bands, Artists and Genres Appreciation Prog Recommendations/Featured albums Top 10s and lists Prog Polls Prog Blogs Interviews Live Performance Reviews Books and Miscellaneous Reviews Prog Gigs, Tours and Festivals Prog News, Press Releases News from Official Prog Suppliers Prog Tribute Bands and Prog Radio Get The Word Out Unsigned Bands Featured Artist of the month Suggest New Bands and Artists Proto-Prog and Prog-Related Lounge Tech Talk Music and Musicians Exchange General discussions General Music Discussions General Polls Just for Fun I Have A Question For You......? Internal news Welcome newbies!

That's because it's a fairly new facility. I only found it a few months back, too. |
