overall i prefer this type of forum to the previous one, but i could do without items that just waste bandwidth: - avatars -- ok, so it personalizes the entry some, but please, don't make yours blink - giant smilies -- give me a break, are we preschoolers here? - quoting an entire post instead of only a relevant sentence -- KILL - large images in signatures -- KILL, EAT i expect the post bumping and marked-read update and search engine will be fixed, and most of the above is guided by community behaviour, so i am hopeful this'll end up being a more usable place.
