    Favorites are one of the base features of the software (we didn't have to add it to the software.) You can favorite topics, then subscribe to your own favorites RSS feed.

    The posts from your favorited topics are put into the RSS feed in chronological order.

    ok...i just never seen the "my favorites" link before....

    I just feel like an idiot for suggesting a "my favorites" section earlier in this thread.

     What do you think about the organization of the Forum Topics? Which ones do you feel could go, are there any we should add? JB

    I was thinking about this. I am a FC Studio user. But in the forum list there is a DVD Studio Pro Forum and an Apple forum. Why not combine these two. I've noticed that most of the questions asked could pertain to both. It would be easier to combine the two. Especially since they are not viewed or posted to on a frequent basis.

    Are you guys planning to scrap this forum and replace it with another or just fix the bugs in this one? Frankly I'd prefer you replace this one. Even with a few patches and fix ups, it's still not very user friendly.

    Currently we're seeing what we can do with this forum. For example you can now subscribe to a forum topic and get email notifications of each topic.

    We're also going to be merging some of the categories together soon, mostly the ones that aren't well trafficked.

    We're also going to be working on a FAQ that tells you how to do certain tasks, like how to embed a youtube video for example.

    Get the Flash Videos

    (simply cut and paste the full youtube url directly into the text window)

    Interesting issue with the new format. See "pinkish tracking line on bottom of screen?" under Video Production. On my display the avitars and some text end up over the right hand column instead of main body of the forum chain.

    I think a simple upgrade to vBulletin would work perfect.  That forum software comes with all the features needed and an owned license is not much.  I have a bunch of them, they are the best to work with.  Just my opinion.

    Something of a new visitor here, I am unable to find this feature as of yet but the option to remove my post (as long as it's not the topic header). I have on a couple of occasions responded to one topic thinking it was another and the best I could do was edit the text out of the wrong post when I just want to delete that one.

    One thing I would to do is stay signed in unless I specificly log out. Some of the other forums I am on has this feature. One of them is only good for a couple of weeks or so but the others leave you logged in unless you log out.

    I do like this forum & appreciate the effort the powers that be put in to it.

    I appreciate the features of the site implemented thus far and tracking threads has improved greatly, however there are still alot of stupid inconvenient bugs.

    maybe wordpress is the problem?

    I agree with most of the suggestions so far:

    E-mail Post Tracking and Notification
    Spam Flagging
    Log-In Retention Cookies
    Forum Topics for Major Software Titles (Avid, Adobe, Apple, Sony, Grass Valley, Newtek, Autodesk, ProTools, Steinberg, Cakewalk, etc.)
    A Newbies Section

    I don't like the idea of being able to embed video or audio. I think that would get really messy. Many users would be posting stuff that they think is great, yet may not contribute to the usefulness of the Forum. The Forum would slowly morph into a "youtube"-like place. Links work fine.

    Just my thoughts.

    We've got a couple of changes made.

    • E-mail Post Tracking and Notification
    • Log-In Retention Cookies

    I see your point in regards to video cluttering up the page. A nice thing about the plugin we're using for video is that it's just a link to the video. When the plugin is turned on, the link is transformed into a flash embed tag (video will be shown.) If pages become too cluttered, we can turn off the plugin, leaving simple links in their place.

    I think having video here is a great idea, after all the site is a "videomaker" site. :-)

     How about a specific Videomaker Forum Feedback section?

    Where members can post bugs, issues they are having with certain access, suggestions for improvements, things they would like to see, new major topic headers, (much like this topic but under a major header). Then others could see if there were prior posts of thier issue/suggestion and not repeat (to some degree), or participate in a poll as to whether it is a valid idea. Videomaker could then reply with updates to those posts and, possibly, to the forum as well.
