Just a few suggestions as I come across them.

* [ URL ] tags should open in a new window when clicked.
* Submitting a reply should take you to your reply (rather than the first post in the thread)
* I'd like to see the style for [ QUOTE ] blocks a bit more obvious. at the moment it's just indented.
* Also the ability the quote a post, or even quote the name of the person. eg: [ QUOTE=mike ]blahblah[/QUOTE]. Then, when submitted, it comes out as "Originally posted by mike. ... ".
* The New Topic/View Unread links change places in the Quick Links depending on whether you're viewing a forum listing or thread etc.
* When submitting a new thread, the button should be "Submit" rather than "Save".
* I think it's been requested already, but a "Preview" button would be nice.

Of course these are all just my opinion only

All of these are now done except:

* Submitting a reply should take you to your reply (rather than the first post in the thread)
* I think it's been requested already, but a "Preview" button would be nice.

Those two will be done as a part of some larger forum changes I'm working on.

Note that there is now a "Reply" link next to each post in a topic. Clicking that link will "quote" the post including the posters name...

Now slightly more bruised than before.

Thanks Mike.

I'd like to see a "Mark Forums Read" link, so that I can turn off the new post markers.

Have added "mark all as read" links to the forum which turns off the new post markers for all unread topics...
