I understand but they are very handy. I have used them on other sites like xs11.com for my xs1100 and they sure are nice.
I don't think many people realize that you need to send a private message for someone to see your responce to a question without constantly checking their post for replies.
Just my two cents worth. Jeff
Jeff,
It used to be where you could subscribe to just about every subject, but that was bac when this forum was relatively new. It worked fine when I was a newbee at 2500 members, but now that the site had just about 10000 members and growing, Carknee wants to keep the site running relatively quickly.
I know the software Carknee is using to run the site is not the newest on the block, but he originally set this site up as an experiment and it has grown into what it is today. He doesnt have the money to put into it what everyone would like all the time, but he does entertain requests on a regular basis.
I suppose if he wanted to charge membership dues, we could get everything we wanted.
Trust me, I liked the convienience as well [/emoticons/emotion-1.gif]. But seeing that its a free site with donations at the members discretion, its worth living with a couple of downers like not having the subscription service available any longer [/emoticons/emotion-2.gif].
