I dont get what the big deal is about ID threads, I mean really, without ID threads what do you really have here?

Dear Lloyd, in two and a half months, the new version of the forum will be online, with a separate section for identifications. The new design is almost completed and our developer is working. Thanks for your patience.

I don't mind the id requests apart from the fact that 99% is really low end retro timber furniture or 50s common table lamps from thrift shops.
Nothing wrong with what people collect or id but I just find it disappointing to open a thread on DesignAddict and it's almost always nothing remotely designer about it.
Click on radar and we see some decent stuff but rarely ever see it here.
The point is that separating id's would be a great idea but for me it is critical that each id thread shows an image without having to click on anything.It would be far more efficient to scroll the id thread and if seeing something I am interested in or know I can choose to click into it or not.
In this day an age one unnecessary click on every id is an extremely laborious and time wasting task.

.
Without the ID threads I wouldn't be here. (Not that my absence would make or break the forum; I am not Aunt Mark). Many of them are crap, but some are very interesting. Like glassartist's pirate chair ID thread. That was a great ID thread. Best thread since then.
If you don't like ID threads, and can't learn to ignore them, then that is weak minded, and you should consider yourself very lucky if the world temporarily caters to your puritanical indulgence. Because it won't happen often.

Hi Leif,
I actually said I don't mind id's,not to do without them..
The fact is id,s are the anchor of what makes this forum and it would not be the same without them.
You state most id,s are crap which is harsher than what I wrote.
Can you honestly say you don't hope to click on an id and see something more than junk,something interesting or unusual you have not seen before.
Is it not more enjoyable to see someone id a piece only discover they have something special in their possession.
Can you honestly say that having a small image at the thread title of id's is not more efficient and user friendly for the majority.
Can you honestly say that you didn't just want the opportunity to write puritanical indulgence.
