343, I like these forums. They seem well thought out, and are very clean in their presentation.
That said, there are some minor improvements that can be made.
Currently you have a “Quote” and “Reply” buttons as the options to place a post. Is it possible to combine these and have the option to quote in the post itself?
Polls. Is it possible to add a polling option for OP’s? Sometimes a simple poll is easier ask, rather than typing out a full response.
Text Editing. When we hit edit, it shows our posts in pure html. So paragraph breaks appear in code. Can that be dialed back so we can see something like our post?
Right click in the post field. It may be my browser (I use Firefox) but right clicking only brings up a editing menu, which disables spell checking.
So, for me at least, I submit these 4 things as improvements. Over all though, I do like this site and forum.

At least explain the link instead of just dropping it as a reply. You’ll come across being less arrogant and more helpful.
Op, that link goes to the Forum Improvements Suggestion thread.
Um… you know I didn’t mean it that way.
How do you make named hyperlinks again?

If anyone saw the madness before, this is frustrating.
Any ways…
oh, never mind…

Hey here’s a link
I use an easier way to link.
The #1 thing they need to do is implement control over multiple posts that happen. Too many people create a new post when their question or speculation should be added to the thread that already exists.

Point taken. But they should also improve the search bar mechanic, so we can search a little easier.
