Suggestions fest! I go first:

Why not implement a Back to top button either under each comment or at the bottom of the page? Some threads are starting to be quite long, and people may find useful to have something to instantly go back to the top of the page. Well I know I'd do. Laughing out loud

Take a look at the bottom left corner of this post. Or any other, for that matter Tongue

Or do you mean article / band / release comments? I could look into that.

Don't know if it's in the works yet, but the indicator for free downloads isn't visible in the Releases section of the website. Might be useful to have it there too.

good call. The release section could actually use the same kind of overhaul that the bands section received recently. Unfortunately I won't have much time for this in the coming weeks. I'll see if I can add the indicator to the table for the time being.

I have not read everything on this site so maybe this has been asked already. But it would be nice instead of just one guitar to thumbs up an article, you could thumbs down one. ( it would be pointed down. towards hell. hahahaha I crack myself up ) This idea is probably not easy because it takes resources and you'd have to average out the pluses and negatives. And I'm not a coder either, just throwin it out there.

It's actually not that hard to implement, but we decided against it. There's enough negativity around here as it is already. If you don't like it, don't click it Smile

Perhaps we should also give coloured names to people whose music is featured in the database? That might encourage musicians to join up, knowing that they will be easily recognizable, and encourage other users to ask questions and such?

Worth trying, but the key issue there is to assign an 'artist' role to these users dynamically. Currently, all roles with 'colours' are assigned manually. I don't know how feasible it is to automate this. I'll look into it.

Maybe theres an option to make a feature on here where bands or people can post tabulatures for guitar / bass / drums w/e. I know I could browse the internet to find some, but most of them aren't that accurate / often turns out there are none of the more unknown bands on the web.

There are alot of peoples out of these progressive metal bands on here also, so maybe it would be a good idea haha. Easy to have all the (ACCURATE!) tabs from bands with ''djent'' on one website.
