Adding to my post, above:

9. Do not automatically subscribe to threads in which you have created a reply. (If this is a toggled feature, I don't know how to untoggle it. :) )

10. The reply window should filter out unprinted text commands, like line-feeds and page-breaks. Currently, they are still being detected and included when pasting from certain formats. ie:
    commands

For the auto-notifications on reply, right underneath the reply box is a yellow bar with a toggle "Notify me when someone replies". Uncheck that before you post.

Where is it in the Hivewire forum because that little feature is really starting to p*ss me off. I think that feature on ANY forum should be defaulted to the off position.
