i really have had no issues with the forum software, whether posting, quoting, adding images or searching, and i will certainly paraphrase Brandon's statement that whatever issues Alex has had, a post count of >1400 indicates that communication isnt one of them :)
Look, I dont stand in the way of any improvements to anything, but some folks dont understand the realities of business with limited funds, scarce resources and challenging priorities but if Cakewalk is going to spend R&D money, quite frankly i would be highly agitated if things were left buggy/unimproved/un-enhanced in Sonar simply to provide some folks with a better forum experience.
