We need a COMMENTS SECTION for each file!

Postby topstatus » October 30th, 2006, 3:04 am

You know how every files shows the ratings, downloads, date, etc? There should be a link that allows people to comment on that particular file. The link would appear as Add Comment. Upon clicking it, a registered user would be taken to a page where he.she can type what he/she thought about the file.

Once comments have been added to a file, the Add Comment link changes to show how many comments have been added to the file since it's release. For example, if five people commented on a new file, the Add Comment link would then show up as 5 Comments.

This sort of feedback would be absolutely critical. Not only would such a feature be convenient for users, it would also provide invaluable information to the authors. :)

That sounds like a good idea to me, though I am not the guy who would have to do all the work setting it up.

That's actually one that's faily high on my priority list, I just haven't had the time to do any work on it.

Amen - this would really help in motivating file-makers to contribute more files and to improve their technique/sound/apporach... might also lead to more focus on the direct requests of the users.

Wow, that was quick. I think this should end up being a nice addition to the site.

If that were true, I'd have about three hundred wives right now.
