I guess I come across as ITT police, but its not because I don't want to hear what people want to say. I love reading about the problems people have with the IT, because I have some of them too! The only issue I have is when people start out new threads to rehash something that has been defined before. I understand "noobs" doing new posts but I think that for maximum efficiency its best to limit the number of new threads about something. For instance if you want to talk about Modest failures there is an "Official" Modest thread where the developers of modest or those that care about Modest would probably peek into to see what issues people have. GeneralAntilles suggestion to go to bugzilla should probably be taken seriously by those of us who clamor for beta and alpha software to install and tinker but for others its *much* easier to go into a thread and post the issue.

When a thread gets really long its easy to use the google search link I provided to find specific posts in a thread that will help. Last week when the Youtube plugin came for Canola, there were two different posts about it, this resulted in information getting spread into the two threads and the same things being posted multiple times. I don't think Handful and those guys mind all that much but being able to see what their users are saying in a single thread is obviously a better and more manageable situation.
I belong to another forum where the mods will ban users for posting useless info and for duplicating threads or remove new posting capability, (that doesn't need to happen here because its such a small community) it maintains nice clean functional threads packed with a wealth of information.
