Feel free to use this thread for discussions of the posting format or other relevant forum activities. We will be trying to keep the test threads free of discussions to keep them more managable, so discussions in the test threads will be deleted fairly soon after they are completed.

Just to clarify, the accepted format for test posts is this:

subject: Media maker, rated speed, burn speed
body:
1) drive model, firmware, burn size
2) ATIP
3) brand name/speed of media, comments,
4) scan results

The reason for this rather strick inforcement will be apparent after you do a few searches for a test. there will soon be a sticky thread on how to search the tests, but if you do a search by posts (rather than by threads), you will quickly see why this format works. Also keep in mind that the search engine can not read images, the info has to be in text format to be searchable.

thanks for your patience, this is a lot of work to set up and maintain, but the results will be worth it!
