We all love the Reader Forum Al, but as you know it’s currently at +133 entries and counting… Needless to say, if one is checking the latest postings from their fellow Jazz Collectors on an iPhone (etc) because ones wife is monopolizing ones laptop, having the oldest post first makes it very difficult to check and post a comment. Is there any means of perhaps adding some type of date button at the top similar to the price guide so we can select newest to oldest entry or vise-versa?

Thanks, Japhy. I will look into the Topic solution. And thanks for the kind words. It really is my pleasure to do this, quite literally, because I really get a lot of pleasure doing the site and it’s a great way to be part of the community and do something creative at the same time.

Al, does your program/site support the creation of a “Topic”, which appears on a main level, and which readers can then comment under specifically? You’ve all seen this; as comments are added, the topic becomes collapsable/expandable with plus (+) and minus (-). (A.K.A. a “Tree”.) That’s a nice way to maintain order and organization and for the reader to easily scan all the main topics, then expand and comment only on a specific one. Just curious.

By the way, this is the perfect time to say thanks, Al, for all your work in building and maintaining this great forum in which we can all gather and “talk shop”.

That’s a good decision, Al. I always found it unnatural reading the comments from buttom to top. By the way: Congratulations for your excellent site! I only discovered it some months ago and have enjoyed visiting it almost daily since. I live in Zurich, Switzerland, and have been collecting jazz records for 25 years (I’m 38).
