    2 annoyances

    1-I don't like that you have to click a quote to activate the quick reply box...seems like an unnecessary step.

    2-The defaults for most of the forums seem to be only to list the threads that have been posted in today. Why not go back at least 3 days so we get a full page, and threads that aren't brand new get hits?

    2- still tweaking things, I'll add it to the todolist. lots of forum defaults got reset in the upgrade.

        Interesting... If you link to a post, you only get to see that post (not inside a thread).
        Then, in the top right, there is a link that brings you to the thread; however, once there is quite difficult to find the post again (have to search manually) in that thread (and this could be useful te see to what it was a reply, for instance).

        (I know this sounds a difficult explanation, but just give it a try, you'll see what I mean)

        Can't the postnumber be added to that topright link?

                I more want to give them time to play with threads to see if they want to keep them

                  OK, I'll give you a user's opinion: I don't care for threaded or hybrid view, it makes reading so much slower. Thus, I don't need or like the click-to-reply, too

                  Maybe we should make this a poll in a week or so, when everyone's had time to play?

                    That was my intention. But people do need time to play - I will also investigate to see if there are any hacks to make it forum based, atm its board based.

                    Most of our forums don't need it, but there are a few locations that it would be useful

                      One more thing: When in advanced reply mode I have finished typing my post, I hit TAB and expexct to be taken to the "post reply" button. Now, I have to hit tab twice, which is a little confusing because I only have to hit it once in quick reply - could this be changed somehow? That would be nice
