For Webmasters of AW
Hi...
I'm just wondering if AW is planning to switch to a bulletin board software in the future (like many other web forums are using)?
The only issue I have with the current software is that I cannot "bump" my posts to the top - the sorting of messages is based on the date of the original message in decending order.
Therefore, a user may not be able to see my message if my message is only 2 days old, unless the user goes through the first few pages (given the high volume of usage of AW, it's not surprising that a 2 day old message may end up on the 2nd or 3rd page).
This will surely affect the probability of my message/question being answered. In order to have my message seen by new users/visitors, I'll need to post another message asking the same questions in order to put my post at the top, which I don't really want to do, because I think this is a waste of storage space for AW.
