Yes, a preview for image and link pastes, formatting, etc.

This is minor issue, the nesting of the replies is much more of an issue for me personally, but probably also one that cannot (at this point) be changed . . . oh, well.

Okay, I'll include that in the email I'm sending now. In the meantime, once you've posted a response to a forum, you have 15 minutes to edit what you've posted. All you need to do to change it (if a link appears broken, etc.) is to click on the text you added and a text-editor will open. I understand that's not completely intuitive. I'll add it to the FAQ.

I agree. At the present moment, the discussion going on re: Merle vs Dylan vs Parton etc for best songwriter is a mess. The discussion isn't; it's probably the best discussion so far on ND. The visual chaos of the replies is a mess.
One almost has to become a forensic thread doctor and slowly piece together the replies to get a sense of who is talking to whom and when.

In a recent "upgrade", Ning seems to have reversed the order of comments on blog posts so that the most current comment is at the top. If you're just tuning in, you have to go all the way to the last page and read backwards, basically, on that Merle post. Given it was a conversation starter, it may have been better served in a forum discussion, but alas. We'd rather let people start discussions however they see fit - whether in blog comments, groups, forums, or in the comments on a video if they want to.

I definitely share your p.o.v. on this and am sending an email to the Ning folks. Thanks yall! Keep it coming!

I passed this on to Ning and they're taking a look at it. In the meantime, I've switched the order comments will appear on blog posts, so that if you're new to the discussion, you don't have to go to the last page and read comments backwards. Hopefully that'll help with confusing reading at least a little bit until the next fix is made.

I would suggest a better "chat room" design. I have posted stuff the past couple of days and never get a response. Also, The Devil Made Smokes thread "everyone post your music here was a gteat idea. I was excited to get some feedback from people with similar music tastes, but again not one single response. Although, that seems to be the case with most songwriter feedback forums.

Thanks for the feedback, Moondog! The chat function is a comparatively new feature that the Ning folks added a couple of months ago. It could use some better functionality and we can pass that request on to them. Any thoughts on what you think would make it better?

Thanks again, so much, for the note!

I heard from Ning about the chat function this morning and they're working on it. We're not the only network who's requested that, so hopefully it'll come soon. I'll keep you posted!

Not sure if its just me. Alot of times when I click on my page link or forum link, it just opens another tab of the home page, and I end up having to try 3 or 4 times till it will actually open the correct page. Again not sure if its just me. Not sure if this will help but Im using firefox 3.5 and windows vista ultimate.

If you click too high on the top nav, it registers as you clicking on the logo, which opens a new tab of the homepage. Just click a smidge lower :)

I guess, I'm what you would call a late bloomer. I'm 57 years old, and music has been my life, since I first saw Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, in 1956 or 57. In October of 2002, I was in need of something that would put a spark back in the music I was playing, in a band I had put together a couple of years earlier. My wife was born and raised in Leavenworth, Kansas, and we had flown out there to visit her folks for a few days. One day my wife and her sister wanted to look at some sort of special fabric, which could only be found in Lawrence, KS. Lawrence is only about 15 miles west of Leavenworth, so we drove to Lawrence, and while the girls looked for fabric, I toured the city's record shops. In one of those shops(one like I had never been in before, and it scared me a little) I browsed the newsstand, and found a magazine, I had never heard of called, "No Depression". It had a picture of Guy Clark on the cover, and on the back was a full page ad for the Johnny Cash Tribute album, "Dressed in Black". I bought both the magazine and CD. As soon as I got back home to Georgia, I subscribed to No Depression Magazine, looked forward to it every two months, and was all but totally devestated when the publication of it stopped.
I don't think I have to say how glad I was to hear that it would be published on line, and have all these different features, including memberships and even pages for members!
To tell you the truth, I can't think of one thing, right now, that needs changing, adding, or anything else. I'm just very glad to be a part of it! It still provides the spark I need! Thank you very much!
