It may help increase interest in cert bends, if the current cert lists were more visible. I realize we can go and click on the individual wrap category and then style, but if there was some type of "spreadsheet" view, were all could be seen at once that would be nice, that way you could see all the standings on one page.? Also, I understand the reason for the approved cert thread being tacked at the top, but the individual threads were nice, some certs may go unnoticed in one big thread. The individual threads gave people and easy place to comment as well. Just my opinions. Thanks

I thought about that but it would require a html, css, or php website / page and that would take 10x more work to upload - we do the lists right on the forums.

We could move every single wrap, style, and length list to one long post but I don't know if it would work. I can try it one of these days but not right now. I've got work tonight till 2am and then tomorrow I'm packing to take my girls floor hockey team to the divisional games and I will be gone from the 3rd to the 6th. I'll see what my staff and the members think about it and what can be done when I get back. I personally think our current set up is good because you don't have to scroll through one looooooooong giant topic to find whatever list you're looking for.

No, I agree, your current situation is good, I know nothing about computers/internet so I wasn't aware it would change things. However, I do think each approved certification getting it's own thread would be nice, or maybe we could add it ourselves. The tacked thread of approved certs at the top of the unbraced section is nice, but it's also nice to see the Congrats to "your name here" threads. Again, just my opinion. Thanks.

I'm quite happy with how the lists are organized. It's definitely a great way to do it in my opinion. Very organized. Maybe in the distant future a webpage can be made for our certs.

As for the congrats topic. I agree with Andy. It's definitely annoying to have everyone thrown into one topic. If you want to compact it a bit, have it so that each person has their own thread (if they make a new cert, the congrats will go in the same thread as their last) but not have everyone in one thread. I understand that this is a little cleaner but it's definitely going to get some peoples certs ignored.

New topics are too much clutter, even guys having their own threads, still too much clutter and they are just unnecessary.

And no ones certs will be ignored because their names will be on the lists ---> checking the new replies and looking for the youtube URL's posted and people will see them in the current thread. Clicking the thread topic when the topic icons are lit up red is no different than checking an entirely new topic. This saves space and keeps the unbraced section clean. I made the decision to put everything together and I think it's better this way.
