I'd love to see some new features added to the forum or old ones put back. Here's my wishlist;

Who's online - A list of all current users searching the forum and how many lurkers/guests.

Latest threads - A list of the latest new threads added, like the last 10 posts list.

Search - To be able to search keywords through all the threads on the forum. So people like @ngel and Garin can find posts where I've mentioned them, a lot easier.

Polls - I love polls, I could probably create a few dozen right now :) starting with whether you think Bush should step down 2 years early.

Font Colours - Okay maybe not a whole raindow selection, but one or two knews might come in handy, like a blue.

More Forums - For Mods I mean, allowing us to mod more than one forum, but then this is mainly because we want new forums. Although I think people like pb would like to encourage activity in more threads not just Creative.

Last 10 posts - This use to be in profiles, I used it quite a lot to spy.. I mean to see when people were last online posting.

Profiles - Apart from the avatar and the stats there's not much else :( I would like to see the profile back to normal so we can list more things about us, like our favourite movies, songs etc.

Favourites - The ability to add threads to a favourite list so you can go back to them quite easily without having to go back 10 pages trying to find them again.

I'll think of some more :) anyone else got any features they'd like to see?

I'd still like the CODE tags to allow showing of properly formatted code as well.

You mention us pretty much every post so dont really need a search feature for that. You really should try to moderate your obsession with us though. ;)

How about a delete button and being able to post pictures.

Actually pictures isn't a good idea because they'd need to be approved and that may take some time...

Ah but the forum have been getting new features for years, surely you remember where there was no CODE, and links were always CLICK HERE and there was no Ignore ability.

This forum can stay unique by not allowing avatars, signatures and smilies :)

Sorry Sunny

Then wouldnt it be just like any other forum! I mean this hasnt got any of the cheesy stuff like other forums. Ok for most it might not be interesting. It does its job!

Plus we wouldnt like to make the Staffs job to hard! Wouldnt want them to break a nail, or over do the brain to much. :P
