Welcome @Notanaudiofile!

I limited editing again due to abuse. I'll turn it back on so you can make changes.

Thanks. We're still discussing this. The more feedback the better.

It's a valid concern, but obviously Sound Rooms are not intended to distract from the Main forum. What they do is give some members the chance to start a focus group where like-minded like-interested can gab about, while not consuming the main forum with chatter. They can moderate it themselves as well, and carry on with their interest without having to deal with uninterested chatter. Another way to look at it is a place for things like CarverFest to live. Multiple topics can be created about the event, and even add dates to the Sound Room calendar and files and galleries all related to CarverFest. This also gives the coordinators of the Carverfest a place to set the agenda by having full moderation of the topics and membership, and create an atmosphere totally dedicated to their event. I must clarify something about Sound Rooms: Private Rooms, that is, Sounds Rooms that are hidden and members must be invited, are NOT ALLOWED. My idea is more closely related to Sub-Forums, and not to be used as a tool to exclude people.

The Recently Posted In is a start, and when there is a lot of activity, you can still miss things. The very best way to stay plugged in is to use the Activity Stream. You can create your own streams as well, even activity on Sound Rooms that you are a member of. That way, you won't miss new topics. I'm hesitant about feeding Sound Rooms into the Recently Posted In because then it kinda interferes with the greater forum activity.

You should follow content you are interested in. You can manage your followed content anytime in your profile. It's a super powerful feature of this website. Understood - that is what this test room is for! I'll make you a Leader so you can play with more of the tools.

When you enter the Room, you see the Activity Feed at the Home screen. You can click on one of the activity items to enter the room's forum (if it was a post), or you can go to the Room's Forum tab, in this case it is the 'blah blah' tab. Basically this is its own forum, it just displays a little different than the main one.

Happy Birthday my friend!

I don't understand what you mean by where to post? You are posting inside the room right now... This topic shows up in the Recently Posted feed, but that can be changed so that Sound Rooms don't do that.

That's because it is an 'open' Room - you can see its contents, but you have to join the Room before you can post. Yes.

Sound Rooms are clubs for members to join. It creates a place for members to dedicate to something - especially for vendors. They can be 'open', like this one, where any member can join and see it, or they can be 'closed' so that members have to be invited, or they can be private, so that members have to be invited and only members can see it. And of course there are 'public' sound rooms where anyone can see and participate.

Welcome to Sound Rooms!

Happy Birthday! (I fixed the age thing).

If you go to 'Edit Album', you can change the default sort order.

And just for laughs...

Thanks for finding that. I fixed the font color so now you can see what you're typing. lol And the square is the mouse over area to display the text. So the text doesn't display until you mouse over the area.

Just a reminder - this topic is not about your favorite format - this is about what kind of file format to store on the server for downloading/sharing.
