Christine, While, I haven't had such serious gripes about the Exchange lately, I think thats more to do with getting used to the much more limited functionality than actually being satisfied with it.
I've heard numbers from MM staff that say stuff like "when we made the change downloads increased tenfold" (or some equally pleasing number... I forget what it was exactly). This may be the case but if thats whats being used to hobble the arguments for change someone had best take another look. The deficiencies are painfully obvious. I think I've left two or three requests for change on the feedback form. If there have been any improvements to the UI I missed them. Seems like if you really want action you have to start yelling on CF-Talk, which is understandable given the wider MM audience, developers present etc. etc. With all this in mind here's my suggestion list (most of it has already been made thru the feedback form, I think). 1. Put an Exchange-specific Search box on every single page. No exceptions. 2. Either enable New Window functionality in search results or make all results open a new window. 3. Make Search persistent. See 2. above. 4. Get rid of the surrounding UI on a search results page. Straight liquid html grid results, please. We all know users are results-driven. Bow to this until someone can figure out how to at least equal the light weight and speed of an html-only result set that, if necessary, spans the entire screen in a single vertical column. 5. I always felt naughty hacking the url at Allaire.com to get 200 results on a screen, but boy was it ever useful. If its a strain on resources, embrace the horror and let us vary the result set size, any way. Just me, piling on :D -- ------------------------------------------- Matt Robertson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com ------------------------------------------- -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
