Sorry I got no idea how old this thread is,

and I haven't used cannabis.com for around 8 yrs (im back now though) and Ive grown for approx. 10 years. I personally agree that the sun drying method isn't advisable.
I have used the 'LIP method...'hang the whole plant in an aired wardropbe/closet and that seemed to work just fine. But the method I now use and find to be the best is air drying in the closet manner for approx 2 days (depending on air temp and humidity of the room) and then place the weed in either jars or plastic tuppaware containers.
I get a roll of new plain kitchen paper hand towel, and lay it in the square/ or rectangular tubs, lay weed one bud layer high, then lay paper over, and another layer of weed, almost like a continues 's' with the paper if you know what i mean. Basically keep the bud seperated by a layer of paper. I change that paper whn required (every 2 days seems to work fine) more or less depending on how wet the weed is.
This method 'slowwwly' takes the moisture out of the bud (as the paper obsorbs it obviously) and leaves the flavour and potency. The idea is that the weed never has the chance to become 'sweaty'. If you can avoid that then you're doing something right...and this method does just that if you do it right.
I have tried many methods from the idiotic (fast oven drys(when i was a noob myself) through various common methods and of course this that one I have just explained. There isn't one right way, but there seems to be a lot more 'wrong ways' then i care to think about.
Common sense really comes into play i think, basic rules like 'nothing thats TO fast or exposed to intense heat or light. dont let it sit musty and moist in glass or plastic as it end up tasting the way you DO NOT want your weed to taste, just use some good logical thinking more times then not, and you wont go too far wrong.

Good luck, and nice to meet you guys btw
