WOW! That would be a great thing to have.
Suggestion for the board -
I have noticed that many times I get notices of posts from several different sections of the board that I have an interest in. When I go to the board I just use the index to move from one section to another and checkout all the new posts in each of the different forums. After I get done and return to my email I then delete all the notices that are in my box as I have read ALL the new posts. After that I Never get any notices that new posts have been made. Is there a way to keep getting notices even if I did not use the latest notice for that particular forum?? Perhaps something could be added that allows the user to get updates on a forum even if they have not visited it since the last notice went out.
yeah I agree with mdwalker
a like button would be great
when someone uploads a dxf and a the downloads begin to climb there is allways some one that comments that allot of people have downloaded but not said thanks
in most cases I have to download to view the file and don't like to clog up the thread
so maybe a "THANKS" button would be a good thing

Post an explanation for the different symbols at the left edge of posts. And always have the new post or addition to posts at the top of each category on the form. Some reason under “Tech Tips” a new post may be half way down the page I can see that there are different symbols at the left edge but don’t know why??

I would like to also suggest some sort of download restriction only allowing members that contribute the privilege of downloading. I guess my main concern is the freeloaders that just download and never contribute. I know that there are new comers that need a few files to get started but the number of people just grabbing files seems to have increased a lot over the last year. If anything would get me discouraged enough to leave Plasma Spider I think it would be whats happening rite now in the sharing forum.
Just ran across a post with a pic of a cool idea but no files to share. The idea was that members would "help" out and put their own touch on said project and post the results. I think a board for many different kinds of projects like this would be a welcomed addition. Thanks.
One problem that seems to come up with new posters is they ask about a problem but do not give the info about their system. It seem like many do not know about the signature function so why not add it to the questionnaire for the new comers that includes their system info and automatically puts that info in the signature area. Many of the first replies to questions for help are what system and software do you have.

I would like to see every file posted in the file sharing have an actual pic attached. I have downloaded many files and thanks very much for that but if there is no pic the only way to see what that file is is to download it and see. I feel as if I am mooching the system. Some of the files are incredible and when downloaded do require a cudos to the original poster but I am probably only using one file in every 10 or 20 I download. I can draw basic stuff and text after practice as well as some trace but I find it disapointing to myself to download a file I may have been able to draw and its probably disappointing to the OP to have the file downloaded multiple times with no thanks. This is only my opinion And I hope nobody gets upset.
Thanks Mark

Oh that's a good one get more people involved ... I like it
THE DXF FILE SHARING FORUM IS A GREAT SOURCE OF DRAWING FOR PROJECT, IF IT CAN HAVE A SECTION "READY TO CUT FILE" TO AVOID THE PART FALLING FROM THE METAL SHEET OR GETTING 2 PIECES SEPARATE...
A different forum I belong to has a world map with the locations of different members. Its kinda cool to see locations around the world and may be handy for people to see their neighbour down the road has a table too.

Thanks to all everyone who submitted a suggestion, we will sort through them and see what we can do to improve. At a glance it seems as though most would be happy if we just left it the way it is!
