Brad,

I think that you should add a poll on the main page for everyone to participate in. One should be "What equipment do you like better?"
Wite "Christie", "Simplex" and so on!

Andrew: Been there, done that!

There have been quite a few polls taken on Film-Tech regarding projectors, platters, sound processors, etc. Obviously, things change (and hopefully improve) with experience, and everyone has their personal favorite equipment, but in general, the "creme de la creme" rise to the top of the lists. Look for previous threads that say: "What is your favorite...?"

Polled discussions via the forum are ok (so long as you don't start blasting us with them), but actual poll programs are too easily altered by people clicking and clicking and clicking on what they like better. They are not accurate and they do not allow for people to express the reasons as to why they like or dislike a particular product. I guess what I am saying is that it would be a waste of my time to set it all up and would not provide anyone with anything they do not know already or has not already been discussed many times in the past. Just do some searches for what you are looking for. There is no need to fire up that same old tired discussion thread "which projector is best", etc.

Brad,

Do you think that's it's possible for someone to delete their own post? Like, if they made a mistake, and didn't want the reply posted, they could just go to edit and click delete post, and it would only delete what they submitted...

This would help where people might get into something and want to get out, why couldn't they just delete it?

Look at the line at the top of your post where the date is. There are three little icons. Click on the third one that says "Edit". It has the litte picture of the pencil.

You'll go to an edit box where you can change what you posted. There's a check box on that page that'll let you delete the post entirely.

1) It'll only work if YOU are the one who made the original post.

2) You have to click the edit icon above the post you want to edit/delete.

It's as easy as that!

The self-delete function is disabled, for there was a couple of threads in the past where the originator asked a question which he felt was "stupid" and decided to try and cover it up by deleting it. The problem is that it deletes the ENTIRE DISCUSSION and in the two instances I am speaking of there was very valuable information passed to newbies later on in the thread.

Please leave things alone. Invariably there will just be someone else come along in a few months who will see this thread and stop before deciding to start a bunch of polls. Even threads that don't go the way they were intended do serve a purpose.
