frankly I found some of the complaints on the testing board too finicky for me, especially in light of the fact the board was new and obviously there were many things to be worked out and would be in time.
No one actually has to read all the posts here to keep up with special requests. Whenever Midnite or I post a special topic, we're always sure to draw attention to it by either including asterisks in the title, moving it to the top of a board, highlighting it with a flag or a star burst, or some combination of all of the above. It's true that there's often a lot of useful information posted here concerning forum upgrades or posting features. But sometimes they're made in response to a question or a request, so those things could be harder to spot right off the bat. However, that sort of stuff doesn't really have much to do with the current discussion, which has more to do with people who've read the topics we've started but have chosen to do something contrary to what either Midnite or I have requested.
As I mentioned in the "Reporting Problems" topic at the top of this board, the forum's system compiles a lot of information. So, if need be, it's very easy for us to check who has opened a topic that we've started as well as how many times they've opened it. And it's very hard for someone to argue that they didn't open a topic when we know they, in fact, have - and exactly when they did so. And it's also very hard for them to argue that they didn't at least read the first post that we started the topic with.
