BS: If you had one wish here

I wish that the name of the starter of a thread appeared with the title of the thread on the opening page. Also, similarly, that the name of the last poster appeared with the thread title on the opening page.

As one whose posts are not often read or responded to, I understand that this would further limit my participation here. But the turnabout would be worth it -- not having to open threads to find out, yet again, that they are started or perpetuated by folks whose opinions I have heard enough of (and already know what they think -- which is very little).

I agree, the actual subject in the title line, and no guests.

No dogs allowed either, like on the beaches around here.

Peace, Mooh.

No need to exclude Guests from the music section,
It is in the BS dept. that GUEST regularly abuses the hopitality of his host.
It would serve him fairly if he was excluded. The level of debate could only improve.
My wish.
Keith.

I wish I may, I wish I might...

...be able to select the "trace a thread" link from within the thread, without having to close it and trace it via the Forum page.

---------------------------------------------

But if I could wish BIG, I'd wish for a simplified, more concise, more comprehensive FAQ, so we don't have to have those little sidebar discussions (on music threads) with newer members about how to do this-or-that on Mudcat. For example, recently katlaughing and I answered Azizi's question about linking to specific Mudcat posts... on the Songs & Rhymes That Mention Snakes thread. Now, granted, we could have told her to go post her question ON the FAQ, but could the next person with that question find it in the FAQ? I didn't even bother to look to see if the answer was in there already, because the FAQ is so cumbersome to deal with.

Just thinking if we excluded guest from the forum, what would the member who supports his own thread do ? Or lacks the balls to put his name to his posts then do ?

If wishes were horses, there would be an easy explanation for all this horseshit. However,--

Inasmuch as this forum has sucked all the juice out of rec.music.folk, I wish I could read & write to it the way I can to a newsgroup, that is, I wish it had a tree structure with postings attached to other postings and not just mixed in in chronological (or, in many old threads, random) order.

Also, perhaps even less reasonably, I wish it would support w3m better.
