When I'm viewing an album on Progarchives, I enjoy reading reviews etc, but then when I want to move onto a new album by that artist, I have to return to the artist page and scroll down to find the next album, I know I open new tabs, but wouldn't it be easier if a small browser which was situated near the bottom of the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_floyd if you look at that, 'show' the browser next to Pink FGloyd at the bottom, see what I mean? Very useful for jumping from one album to another, or to a film, or a single. Just thought it might be beneficial to users. ------------- "Great spladdocks of crab!

We used to have the albums down the side...it was much better. You could jump to any album. sadly it was changed and now the site is worse for it. You got my support. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Thanks, shame I wasn't here to see it. At least I've got a 'special collaborator' on my side.

I was just pointing out that I mentioned it before and nothing happened. I wasn't saying anything else. Maybe this time though? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

| Yeah, it would be nice to be able to get from one album page to another directly. What I always do is keep the artist page open and open album pages in new tabs. |

Maybe, just maybe. I wouldn't blame you if you did say anything else, I should've looked before I leapt. NeverthelessI do open new tabs, but it clutters up the window with several open at once. If it had related artists, like solo careers or past bands would be helpful also.

I would also like hyperlinks. So if you are reading about say.....VDGG.....in the bio, and Peter Hammill is mentioned, you can click on it and go to his solo page. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

How about a poll? See what the users want.

That all sounds nice, but it's less of an issue than it used to be on account of tabbed browsing. Especially since I gave my firefox a tree style tab bar on the side, it's actually easier to navigate if I leave the artist page open and open all the albums I want to look at in tabs. But I can definitely see how it would be handy for lots of folks. Hyperlinks are a very good idea. Some way to establish better artist interconnectivity and stuff. -------------
