When the apparant update occured, the forums had gone from a integrated, connected and organised social environment, to a what I can only describe as, a more basic and mediocre sucession.
Problems
The problem with the current format is simply, it lacks the user ability to create complex threads with theories and evidence of high-resident volumes, which sadly are overlooked due to poor organisational support; there is currently two main problems, a spacing glitch and the loss of the old extra features.
In terms of the spacing glitch, when posting I find I have to put a space and half (space and space-shift) between paragraphs, so when the post is published it appears as one space to other users, or otherwise it connects the conflicting subjects.
In terms of organisaton and post control, I am talking about the extra features like underline, colouring, sizing, fonts, highlight and the auto-organised polls (which are on top of a thread)… what happened? I find it difficult to point out large points in my posts, without overly complicating bullet-points, spoiler tags and quote boxes.
Improvements
To improve on the posting and organisation of posts, I would like to see the overlooked extra features return and this spacing glitch removed. Also a new feature, for the more new posters, could be a simple help, or text, box showing the basic coding functions like urls.
