Dennis, as you know from past lively discussions last
summer and before regarding charting that the forum appears (at least to
me) to be more effective than the Suggestion Board. This might
reflect the fact that many add their "2 cents" in contrast to the Suggestion
Board which many do not look at.
So, Tim, I encourage you to look up the old threads on
the subject which contain many specifics. There were many good ideas in
those messages and what they need, I suspect, is a way to present them in a more
structured manner. Grab the bull by the horns and you will be
surprised how many jump in the pool with you. Maybe we should have an
AB-Charting board for the chartists.

5.22.0 BETA released
Tim,
Please use the requested feedback page for
suggestions. That way the
rest of us can see what your
suggestions are and they can be supported
if they are desired by
others. Tomasz has said that this is the only
way he
will consider additions, so improve your chances of success by
following the requested process.
Many suggestions have waited for
years to get to their turn --
depending on how hard they are to do, and
the number of users who
support them.
Of course it is
different if Tomasz is inviting comments on the board
about a
specific feature he is working on.
You can also use the board to say
specifically what you need.
Sometimes someone knows exactly
how to do a thing and will share it.
Plan for success by
casting your net wide. You never know when and
where the fish
are hiding.
Best regards,
Dennis
