Before this conversation starts too far down this road, I'm going to say that the features and functionality of the site is almost entirely dependent upon the forum package that is employed here. There is very little I can do to change it, and should I try, I would seriously risk the ability to upgrade the forum at a later date without a major overhaul.
As it is, upgrading is currently problematic due to some of the add-ons that have been applied.
So while I do not discount the fact that there may be improvements that can be made, the more appropriate venue for voicing those suggestions would be to the forum package developer's website.
Thanks,
