Sometimes you can work yourself into a corner....oops.

You can turn Chrome's tracking off.

That'd be like trusting google to not collect other informtion while it's filming the planet...

HATE HATE HATE the forum software these days. (And I used to "live here".) On Firefox 18.0.1, even though I ALWAYS click "save my credentials as a cookie", I have to sign in at every "first launch". NO other websites refuse to save my sign-in. And when in Firefox, it refuses to recognize carriage returns. Using HTML page breaks is my only recourse. IE - forget about it. Freezes constantly, doesn't allow me to reply to posts, just a non-starter. And I don't want to use Chrome. Frankly, a potential new user who wants to check out the forum before deciding to spend $$ on Sonar might just walk away. I am sure that it has lost Cake $$. Really frustrating sometimes. GET WITH IT, CAKE! (PS, it used to work perfectly ... kinda like Sonar 8.x) PS, if this appears as one block paragraph, DON'T BLAME ME.

Even when I use the forum in Chrome and it sort of works kind of well, I hate it. It's so Web 1.0

I've found that a few sites constantly log me out even though I check whatever option there is to stay signed in. Gmail is one of them. I'm forever having to enter my freakin' 20 character password because it's just randomly signed me out without me telling it to. It's my computer, my email account, my responsibility, just keep me signed in! Let's face it, the entire web is full of bugs and design flaws and annoyances. 

I am very happy with Opera. It works just fine here and elsewhere. 

John's right. Opera is ok with this forum. I'm not having any issues with the forum in Opera. That said, Opera is such an obscure browser, that many don't use it, and it's a discounting of customer-base to require them to download, install, and use browsers like Opera for one forum. It's not a win for the Roland/Cakewalk customers.

Opera IS a good browser, though. In fact, and I cringe to say this, it's great for Torrenting, something Cakewalk would want to sway people away from.

I prefer to use FireFox, but don't want to have to go back to Version 5 to get the formatting abilities

 
You said it all just there,  There is nothing wrong with the forum, it works perfectly in IE and used to work perfectly in FireFox untill they changed FireFox...
 
It is the job of a web browser to acurately display the contents of web sites. If it doesn't then it's not the fault of the web site.

What are you basing this statement off of?
It's always the developer's job to keep up with how browsers are working and walk that thin line of making things works more-or-less as intended across all of them without having things break down entirely.
It's the job of the website to work as intended across all current (and most legacy) browsers.  If Cakewalk has outdated software that works poorly in 2 or more current browsers, it's time to update or move on to a forum package that works for the user-base.


I have to manually enter linebreaks in FF.  It works fine if I do.  It won't quote anyone's messages though. This is not the user's fault.  I do not expect that everyone will know to do this.

I use Firebug in FF constantly for my job, so I use FF.  Comfortable for me.  It doesn't matter if you use Safari, Chrome, IE7-10.... it should work mostly as intended.  If it doesn't, it's not the user's fault unless the user has a seriously outdated browser (IE7 is starting to get there).

I would think the quality of the forum software would be a factor is someone making a decision to buy/upgrade their music software. Cakewalk needs to take the plunge and upgrade their forum software.
