Like a lot of forums I frequent, I expect a link to the first unread post in a thread. I also expect that having read the last post in a thread the display tells me I've been there, seen it. If you click 'Latest Post' it does not mark the thread as read.
I also expect to see in the forum thread listing, separated, the name of the OP, the date of the OP along with the name of the Final contributor and the date of that post. I also want to see how many posts in that thread are unread by me. Far too often I am visiting a thread where I was the last contributor, simply wasting my time.
The menu system is pants. Give us a menu that allows you to get anywhere from anywhere else. Gerard, you stated on November 27th, that navigation deficiencies were to be addressed. January 25th, 2 months later, I have to ask, when?
Cut the white space. I'm not that keen on all the scrolling, form has triumphed over function.
These have all been voiced before and ignored it seems.
