It's the difference between the fraction of a second's click of a mouse, and a passing Googler thinking "Hmm I wonder if there's a members page somewhere? Now, where would that be?" ... then them actively searching for a members page, discovering it and accessing the desired members info ... meanwhile most internet users are long gone off to somewhere more clickable.

CS - any mudcatters who want to use the site for gratuitous self-publication have never had problems doing so.
Some of it is up-front - SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION THREAD...
Others just use every posting they make as an advert for themself - Dick Miles is a current master of the technique.
Others on the forum welcome the security of relative obscurity, and the fact that we can tell people where we will be without also advertising to burglars, the fact that our home may be unoccupied on a specific date.

Geoff,

a) Sure, long term regular users may know of the SHAMELESS thread which you have to choose to specifically access (not really the way advertising usually works). I've been here over a year and only recently noticed it, and probably won't avail myself of it too often. But casual passers by, interested by all the Google & Share Thread addititions stuff won't be aware of that thread.

b) The security comes in the free choice (available in all forums) not to divulge personal info!

Woof ;-)

Said this before: I'd like to see what you get everyplace else on interweb, and that's a PROFILE PAGE immediately accessible by simply *clicking on the posters name on any post they make in any thread.

The reasons this would be beneficial to all the folk musicians posting here on the biggest folk music forum on the web - with all it's Google and "share thread" stuff going on - aught to be utterly self evident. But just in-case it isn't, it equals instantaneous international advertising for anyone here who might want to include a link to their personal musical biography, their MySpace, or YouTube or their CD promotion site.

I really feel this site lets it's membership down here. Any other site on the interweb has a profile page offering such options as an *automatic default*. This is the only forum I know, that doesn't offer it as a standard feature, immediately accessible to any mildly curious party just happening to pass by.

Being on dialup, and hating having to learn about new software and things all the time, I like things to be kept simple. Also, I know it makes life easier for Max. Into my fifteenth year with Mudcat I've never ever missed anything very much. It provides an easy way for folk enthusiasts to communicate. Everything else is extra - not quite superfluous, but extra.

Please don't mess with it!

Having said that, I of course second any and every of catspaw's suggestions ...

Thats the Issue with me- I would feel better about contributing if there was a downloadable DT that operated independently of the servers.
I would have no problem using a dos version. Yes it may be archaic but getting it out there in any form even a large text file would accomplish an important function.

Before I joined Mudcat I knew nothing about HTML but I got onto the various HTML practice threads and learned heaps. I even made a Word document with them all in it to sit in a very accessible place and have sent it (along with the URL to the Blickyfier) to others with similar voids in their knowledge and I am still experimenting along lines that Joe once suggested.

I was taught to be careful with anything I composed for public attention and have learned to live with my errors. By and large, the current Mudcat does what I ask of it.

K.I.S.S. is a wonderful principle.

"here is the kicker, photos, video, music ... they take space. Max would have to pay a much higher rate then he does right now to house all of that stuff."

Correct in principle, but it's usually bandwith, rather than storage, that's the dominating cost factor.

I'm with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" brigade, with a couple of qualifications/comments:

  • A project as old as Mudcat can wind up with code so complex, because of all the tweaks and additions made over the years, that it becomes difficult to maintain.
  • Whereas CMS (Content Management Systems) were quite hard to use a few years ago, they are becoming easier to use and more reliable and functional than they were, and many of the are free.
  • Some desirable new features might be easier to do (available ready-made) with a CMS.
  • For the DT, freely available web-linked database technology is possibly far better that whatever is being used now, which I believe is quite old software.
Against that is the enormous overhead of converting everything to a new system...

Leave it alone.
Mudcat works cos it's run on a shoestring.

I don't know how Max and his helpers do it but they do.

There's hardly any advertising or pushy pop-ups; it's a nice (commercially) clean site.

Sure it's quirky, but all the more interesting for that. I don't want another Face book or Twitter or Bebo.

Mudcat is easy to understand and like it.

"...some visually impaired ... find it much easier to read than upper and lower case."

The better solution to that is either enlarging the entire font size (in Opera, you can specify size & font for every area of the browser!), or using an area magnifier.... after all, most folks are not going to type in caps, and reading your own typing won't help much....unless I misunderstand the issue.

All the new-fangled features tend to increase load times--usually without any appreciable benefit. You, with the lastest and fastest teen toys, may not see much difference, but a great number of us would.

Furthermore, glitz features invite abuse. For the most part, I'm quite happy reading messages that consist only of text, without gratuitous "personalization" or foofiness that serves primarily to gratify the poster's need for attention--attention which is usually undeserved--not to assist the reader. If the latter were a priority to posters, they might take more care with their spelling, punctuation and capitalization, and avoid the trendy-but-distracting textese abbreviations.


There are only a few features that I would find desirable here:

* Allow one to upload/archive scans of scores. This should be a moderated feature, and messages should contain only links, not embedded images, so message load times remain unaffected and messages remain uncluttered. You usually only need to see an image once (if at all), or on demand.

* Similarly for sound recordings/MIDIs. As others have said, there are other services which support this and which can be linked. But there are folks (like me) who don't care to set up an account on these other venues just to post a sound clip now and then. One can email a MIDI to Joe, but it would be nice to have more automated support, and lots of folks don't know how to properly create ABCs or MIDIs of the tunes they know.

* Allow one to specify the input encoding for message text, so that text posted in foreign languages or from word processed text appears more reliably as intended.

* Have the 1-day message listing actually encompass a full 24-hour period (better still, 27). I nearly always have to switch the default search to 3-day to reliably see the new messages. Really, I'd like a 2-day setting, and for the time period setting to be sticky from session to session. It would also be handy to have a marker indicating the dividing point since your last listing.

* Provide a link in the message header or footer to the message itself, so one can more easily copy the link location of a message one is viewing for cross-linking in a new post. Currently, one can note the sender and date, scroll to the top, and copy the link from the date field of the corresponding entry in the list of messages, but a more direct means would be appreciated. (In fact, I only just figured this out this moment--doh!) One can also copy the "Printer Friendly" link, but it's more useful to others to have the message in the thread context, not in isolation (without even a link back to the thread).

"

I see the ones you refer to, but I doubt that the solution is to 'automate' everything...I don't even know how much of the necessary HTML could BE automated. I know 'programs' which can do a lot of it (like Word...or even free programs like some of these... and clever little programs that will colorize your text
like hfc font colorizer ....and the wonderful live spell checker TinySpell ...or even sHTML for step saving.)

And.. I DO understand that some with learning problems like dyslexia do have real difficulties with spelling and related areas, but it makes me sad when folks will not even BOTHER with things like normal punctuation and capital letters...(OR WHO USE CAPS FOR EVERYTHING)...but Mudcat already does more than some sites.

...(and, as a side note, Max did experiment very early on with the idea of allowing folks to edit their own posts...for about a week. Then it became obvious that it would lead to various abuses. There are moderators who will correct serious errors...or, one can just C&P their post and correct it, and a mod will delete the bad one soon.)

Sorcha, you don't ask - you condemn. If you ask HOW to do something, we can figure out a way. If you ask WHY the search engine isn't fixed or why the graphic is missing for the photo buttons, what answer can we give you?

Basically, the answer to your "why" question is always the same - Max is overburdened with a lot of things and doesn't have the time he once had, and Jeff is gone completely. So yeah, things get broke and we can't fix 'em - but we CAN figure out workarounds, and we like doing that.

Maybe Jeri or somebody will have time to put photo buttons in the FAQ or somewhere. I'm tied up this weekend. Maybe we should have a PermaThread of Mudcat workarounds. You'd be amazed at the things that have been posted over the years. Hint: many are in the FAQ, particularly in the first ten messages.

I have recently learned in a thread that we all need to be be more open and that we need to share with those we disagree with. I think Ron Olesko and Don Firth will back me up on this.

Thanks for your responses. A few points in reply:-

Apologies - I wasn't aware of the existence of Member Photos. It seems a good facility, but I would suggest that it could be highlighted when new members join, and that a link could be set up from the "From" line, similar to the "PM" link. There don't seem to be many of the "Mudcat regulars" on there though.

I personally do not have a problem with "blue clickies", but from the number of postings with URLs in that do not link, a lot of people do.

Similarly, I don't have a problem with HTML, but others seem to, judging by some of the comments I have seen.

As for spell checking, for long postings, I usually do them in Word first, spell check, read them, post, and then preview. There's always the odd one that gets through though!

Mudcat ain't old enough to go through the change.

No need for HRT.

It is what it is, and it does what it does because we all like it that way.

This subject comes up a couple of times a year, and the vast majority say "We don't give change".

If eveything on my PC were as lean, and mean, it would work at ten times the speed.

Try using one of the more advanced forums on a dialup, you could die, have the service, and get cremated before your info got there. One of the nice features about this forum is that our dialup users can still access it and post ...

There is an elegant beauty in simplicity.   I develop pretty robust java web applications for business. They are great for business use but not for the general user.   I would not change a thing other than maybe fix the search when time permits ...
