Keni, I'm not talking about how the forum is used so much as how the forum functions. It's bloody awful. I've been around since before the Internet and I've used a lot of forums, and this one of the worst ones I've ever seen. I also say that as a long-time Cakewalk user. I'm not here to troll, just to give my honest feedback. If I have to use a different browser just to use a forum, then the forum is clearly broken. A company of this size should have the best forum possible, not some broken junk that adds more broken to their broken X2 software. I'm so annoyed by X2 that I am actively searching to replace it with the competition, right now. Almost everything I use in X2 breaks in some way. X2 has gotten bloated and buggy and this forum is just more fail (not the people, the forum). I would be embarrassed to have a forum like this if I were running Cakewalk. If there's no line-breaks, that's just more forum fail for you.
Interesting...
I was very hurt by the X1 release and have spent the last 2 years finding ways of dealing with it and adjusting it (with 3rd party help)... But between these, X1 became very useable if not the fastest workflow (as with 8.5.3)... I am very pleased with the X2 release and I'm having no problems with it at all... I haven't even installed the quickfix as I'm not experiencing (yet?) any of it's issues...
I'm really sorry that X2 isn't working for you as (for the most part) it's bringing back much of the joy I've always had with Cakewalk softwwares over the years. I have yet to do any real/heavy work in it but the workflow feels much more to my liking and the updates in PRV/PC feel great!
I hope you find the problem in your system/setup as from my own testing, none of the competition beats Sonar tho some do admittedly give it a bit of run for the money... I still would not want to switch to them as they are not as good for me...
The forum software? Hah! I was against switching to it from the old newsgroup that it started as, but I very quickly have found it works just fine for me with a few issues (Search should be removed as it's more of a waste of my time than successful for me). I'm able to read/reply and browse as well as any other forum I've used... the biggest issues seem to be it's compatibility with some softwares, but there are many sites (corporate as well as small business or personal) which are optimized for one browser over another... Using one with the ability to run the other's engine invisibly when needed? Seems a nice solution... Auto-sensing this and switching automatically would be even nicer, but it's not far from that with FF15 and IETab V2...
If I remember correctly, there was a version or more of Firefox that had a similar ability built in!
