bubbles69: I dont think its the level of difficulty thats bothering people, its the abundance of garbage that is being displayed. This is a singles site, not a photo album or juke box.

Because my internet connection is dial-up, the videos take forever to run on my machine.
I don't have that kind of patience and I don't run them.
Hence I can't enter the discussion about the video.
The pictures make the forum too much like StumbleUpon.
The html seems to confuse a lot of people and the learning curve has been slow. That puts a lot of senseless typing on the threads.
With all this picture/video stuff and the general clique atmosphere on the forum, I find very little to post to...and I am not bothering to participate....I just read my mail and leave.

Its not happening is it? We are just being shown music vids. I can listen to music on my Ipod or watch MTV. Id rather "Talk" as thats the reason I joined this site.

and .... (just for the record....) what are we doing right now??
we're conversing, aren't we?? (i'll be going out soon so....) not for long though
With all the new video and photo features, why can we not e-mail any photos to other members????????? Giving out our private e-mail addresses is not always an option or a good idea.... I really do not like this new quote feature....
foreveryoung1: agree, if i want to watch vidios i can find my way to u tube, i do like the extra emoticons tho, some pics are ok, but some are sick, but is detracting from chatting together, this is a singles site and not 'watch (or listen) to this its great, site
People have different ways of expressing themselves.. some do it with songs that say things that they themselves might no be able to say..
Some do it with pictures, and what those pictures represent.. and some do it with both.. The way I see it is we now have more ways for us to express what we feel through resources that were not avalible before.. use them to your advantage..

It really works well if you know how to use it.. and now there is a quote button by the reply button..
Why not provide us with the ability to embed Links in the Message to lead to You Tube or some other Site or to a Picture. Would free up a Hell of a Lot of Bandwidth and no one would feel crowded. Then if I want to look at a Picture or Video I simply click the Link provided and be done with. Could live with the rest of the Formatting,since it does not get in the way.
if you don't like the new additions, then don't use them. there are still plenty of threads without them.
if you don't want to view a video, (i don't care for them myself) then don't, if you don't want to add or see pictures, then don't, what's the big deal?
the only thing i don't like is the new quote & reply feature. the cutting & pasting can be a bother, but it too is not all that difficult.
good words and thoughts! But whenever I see the TV icon, I just pass it by!. Yet they are taking up so much space...it's hard to find a good thread to yalk in now! Maybe a youtube section?, mods??? Leave the threads as they were?
I do understand what you mean dear. I personally do not have a problem so much with it. When I posted this poll, it was for everyone else and their thoughts on the issue. I was seeing people post feelings on this issue in just about every thread, so what better way to put it into one and the mods can decifer
I am a newbie here. And for the most part have enjoy the conversations. They are the better part of CS. Sure meeting others via im and messaging is good as well.
The new stuff.....video and music....are to hard for me to access. Dailup here. Just to slow to download.
Maybe if they had a old CS section and a new CS section? The old section for straight test and the new with all the gizmo and techie tricks?
But maybe that will confuse and fustrate people as well.
I voted for the new ways, as I like progression when I'm not in my dinasaur mood
The only thing wrong is that people keep posting crap videos and boring pictures
That could soon change though when I learn how to post a video cos I'll post 100s of 80s music videos... Considering everyone loves 80s music in the music poll
I like the quote thing better too (now I've got hang of it) as we can select the best part of the posts we want to quote
blue_eyed_blonde: ya just gotta love all the videos....fun fun
I'm thinking about starting a website dedicated to playing music 24/7. That might satisfy that yearning for music. I'll spread the word on CS, when I do...
