I just want to take some time to appreciate Willco and Cloud and Demi and anyone else who sets this place up as an awesome forum.
I've been frequenting the forums on TheKnot.com for the past six months or so to prepare for my wedding to Ecrofirt. The forum parts of that site SUCK.
Threads are organized by when they're made, not the last reply. So you can have a really great thread with lots of replies, and it gets lost in the shuffle of: how can I say "no kids" on the invitation? Can I throw myself a shower? How do I ask for money as a gift? I'm wearing an ivory dress, can the groomsmen wear white shirts or will my dress look dingy? Constantly.
The censorship is ridiculous. I'm not a very vulgar person, so I never noticed too much of it, until New Year's Eve. People couldn't talk about Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve, because "dick" is a censored word. Really?
They let posters have GIANT PICTURE SIGNATURES that take up half the screen.
There's this ridiculous "TheKnot TV" video that plays on the right side of most pages. I don't think there's a way to permanently shut it off.
You can't PM other posters. You can "page them to a thread' by making your subject line *****WILLCO***** and asking them the question in a public post.
Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty much in love with that site, but the setup is poor poor poor. My friend thinks they hired a 9-year-old to code the frames.
Whenever you think to complain about this place, think about how much worse it could be.
