I have made this field mandatory. If any member has not filled in this field you will be asked to do so when you login.

I hope this helps!

Thanks, HiFiVision! That was indeed very helpful.

Good decision by Hifivision. It's better that this thread should stay permanently on top in Recent Threads column.

Good call.

Is there a sticky feature on this site? Most forums have and for a good reason.

I have made this a sticky!

ranjeetrain, I see that you have still not entered your location.

On the subject of a sticky, perhaps it would be good to have a FAQ on amps, speakers, etc. Esp, what info to provide while asking, what to look out for, and maybe even recommendations. It is observed that some questions are asked over and over - can't blame the one asking of course - but perhaps this will help avoid it. I guess most of us are too busy to contribute right away but it could be built up over time.

Great idea particleman!

Like you said we could have a sticky thread under the various sub-heads (amps, speakers, etc) and we could all contribute over time. Please start the threads under the sub-heads and I will make them stick.

Thank You.

I didn't wish anyone to try hard to conclude I am a lazy ass

Wrt to the previous discussion. I really like the idea. Many forums (Audioholics for example) do so. Whereas that is an useful feature, that also can reduce the traffic on the site, as a lot of smart visitors would find their answers from there, causing fewer new threads to be created. That would really be wonderful, but once the site becomes really popular and busy. At this point in time, I personally feel, we should not have those threads. Let us wait for hifi and hifivision.com to become popular enough.
