Maybe I am missing it, but I can't figure out how to filter posts to show only threads that I have contributed to. Very useful in cutting through the new threads to see if followup is needed on a prior post. I have been doing this by forum search with a blank search field by author me, but that is way tedious.

I think the most elegant method to do this is turn on subscriptions in your preferences, and then you can easily jump to a list of threads you've posted to by mousing over "Forum Menu" and choosing 'Subscribed Posts'

Hi Willy,
 Regardless of my complaints... it's obvious you are working hard and taking this task seriously. Hat's off to you!!!

best regards,

I haven't read this whole thread, so this has probably been mentioned already. But it really thucks that thubscription and forwarded emails don't contain the full text.....

EDIT: And it thucks even more that all pre-update links, in posts and  emails, no longer work because the new URL uses tm.aspx instead of fb.asp.

I don't get email notifications of posts to a thread I've started...until I post in it again. 

yeah -- the email in the text for sure needs to come back

I don't get email notifications of posts to a thread I've started...until I post in it again. 

Haven't noticed that action, or any notice of that possibly happening in the email notification. A couple of other forums I participate in are setup such that you only get one email notification of a reply in a thread until I visit the thread again (TC Powercore for one). Hope that doesn't happen here. And one forum I participate in doesn't do email notifications at all - Sony for Soundforge and Acid and there's no option to have email notification either.

I think this is the only forum I participate in that uses the aspplayground forum software.

Other things that need to be fixed (some of which have been mentioned, but bear repeating):
blank emails
no 'in reply to' in a thread response
the silly notification wording for a message that has been edited
slow cursor movement when composing a response

The overall slow performance of the new forum is just intolerable. I think until they get the server up to speed, they should banish the sticky section of the Sonar page. I spend 15 seconds waiting for that section to load every time I go there to see what's new. I bet if the administrator does a before-and-after analysis of the post volume, it's way down since the migration just because it takes so long to navigate.

why is there still the Preivew bug?  when I choose to Preview my post, it sometimes gives me a blank window, right after the preview.  i then have to rewrite my post, because i didn't use Copy.  for any future post i will just submit my post without opting to preview since this has already botched a couple of my posts.  btw, i'm using the newest version of Firefox.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but any link to a topic on the old form no longer works, even links within posts on this board.

This is a real pain.  I have seen a lot of board upgrades, this always seems like a must.  There are 1000s of posts out there with links to other posts, which makes the search even more useless when you get a result with a link in it.

Hi Rod-

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but any link to a topic on the old form no longer works, even links within posts on this board.

It has been mentioned, and yes, it's a huge PITN. You can get to them if you manually edit the ".asp" part to ".aspx" or ".ashx", but I really hope they do something about this.

Hi Susan and Rod.

I've found that if you edit the old links and change fb.asp to tm.aspx, they've been working.

I just found a new one Willy.
I tried to explain to someone that they need to arm a track for recording using the [M] (S) [R] buttons.
Notice that I had to use ( ) for the S and not [ ].
If I put the S in the [ ] it will not show the S and will strike-through everything after it

[M] [R] Like this line here. It should show M S R in brackets but only the M and R work.

Well that sucks. I used to use the []'s on the old forums but I guess that they didn't have this PGD thingy.
  Thanks Steve.
So what is the PGDCode for anyway?
When I click on it all I get is a blank screen.
I guess I have to watch what I type. Does this code only activate when you use [] or are there other symbols I shouldn't use while typing on the forums.

BTW Willy, some of the Links at the bottom of the page are not working, some that I found are "Audio and Midi Interfaces" under Record, "Windows Vista for Musicians" under Learn, "Pyro Audio Creator" under Products, "Audio Mixing" under Produce. Wow, hate to see you guys having to fight these fires, but I guess that's Life in the Digital Age

Yet if you click on those same links on the main Cakewalk page (not any of the forum pages) they all go to the right place!

I'm rapidly losing patience with the web people on this stuff - no wonder Sonar gets little love from the mainstream music world.

Edit for additional material: you know how in the old forum you could stay logged in even if you left the forum and closed down your browser (at least I could)? Do that now and you get logged off - Firefox 3.0.12 on a Mac.

The reply preview worked in IE8 and IETab in Firefox.  But it's working for me now in Firefox too!  I just love solid, stable, totally repeatable software!
