The purpose of the weekly poll?

I agree with you John about a list of things to do.
A site like this is a work in progress, so to speak. You have an Idea of a new feature, ask the users what they think about that idea, then set about developing it. Can't see the point in spending a lot of time and resources on an idea, only to have no one what to use or like it.

Motherhen, I use Fire Fox and use it's spell checker. Hmm, which doesn't pick up the fact that I've had a few ales and I don't see the under lined spelling mistake.
I can understand your frustration.

Hi Royce, Motherhen & Hairs,

I didn't mean to bring up the debate about spelling on this site again, just asking the question about the effectiveness or purpose of the polls.

If its just for marketing, or amusement, so be it.


I just feel it is misleading, when a change to a feature on the site is taken to a 'referendum', then forgotten about, or disregarded.

I understand that work on this, or any website is ongoing, I have seen a lot of changes in the relatively short time I have been a member, but a link from the submit button to the feature shouldn't be a big deal (forgive me if I am wrong, I did run my own music info website for some years, but I didn't have spell check on my forum).

Royce has pointed out a couple of pet hates, I have a few more, as I'm sure we all do, and the aggravation that the spell check feature causes Motherhen is a pain too, but as I said, this is not really the point I am trying to make, or get your thoughts on in this post.

Thanks for your comments, have a great Sunday

Dave
