Wow, I knew my ears were burning for some reason, little did I know this thread was why! Hehehe

I just don't get why its that hard to see who the tester's are in the first post and then search the thread. Its why I started linking to all my posts, you see I'm a tester all you have to do is search and find my last review post to see them all. But, that's just me and my opinion as to me reading through ALL of the info is half the fun.

I get peoples points, I just don't think logistics are being thought through all the way. It sounds great to have each poster to make a sort of "table of contents" type post and I love that thought, but it has to be simple and easily manageable for all types and levels of computer knowledge and everyone has to commit to do it.

Just my two cents though! I love the discussion!

I too really enjoy following along with each testing thread from start to finish, but I think that just doesnt work for some people. And while searching the thread for a specific tester's last review post is useful, i think that action can be more daunting for a lot of people than simply navigating through a bunch of links that are placed in a tester's first post.

I dont think people need to put any extra work into making a table of contents in their first post or anything like that. Simply take the classic Jman Reference Links interface and place that straight into their first post.
Also, like linking posts now, this wouldnt need to be required, just seems like a good idea to me.

It would also be pretty important and incredibly useful I think, to have all testers make the first posts (after JB's ofcourse) That, combined with people placing links in their first post would give people the ability to open up any testing thread and have direct access to all the tester's "main" posts right there on one page. Now, if that is all they choose to look at they will miss out on a lot of great stuff that is bounced around by the testers and forum members (Answering questions, quick thoughts...etc) but they will get sort of a 'Cliff's Notes' version of the testing thread which I think would be very useful to a lot of people.

Anyway, im just thinking out loud now. I just hate seeing people get turned off by the effort/time it can take to follow along with these (sometimes massive) testing threads. My SPi instructor was one of those people! He just couldnt hang, hahah....
