Hi everyone

We're looking for your thoughts on what you'd most like to see and not see on the redesigned forum.

Please come over to the Marry, snog, throw off a cliff? thread to let us know.

Even if you've said it in this thread could you join in on that one so it's all in one place.

Thank you

Andrea

that's very clever and interesting

will join on that one, thanks

A seperation of the forum and main site might be better, there are just a few links to the forum on the front page of the main site but the forum is littered with links to the main site on the forum pages.
I know that one can't live without the other but I would prefer to see fewer ties to the main site on the forum pages, it might go a long way to reduce the 'clutter' and give more space for what the forum is actually about, the threads and posts.

Is there any way that threads like this can display on multiple boards at the same time for more feedback? eg could you have a Sticky or Sticky All option?

I very rarely go to the site feedback board, I stumble across these threads by accident usually, if I am skiving and they show up in the Todays posts.

make that drop down ^ from those sub headers vanish please, it is very very sensitive and adds on to the clutter when it keeps popping up

I hope that when the mobile version is set up, there will still be an option to use the desktop/full site version. I use my mobile and I can't get on with the mobile single view.

Lose the big blue thanks, quote, report etc buttons in favour of something more integrated please? They are a bit cartoon like.

I know that might be difficult to combine with still having them easy to find/identify, but some forums themes do mange that better than this one.

As can be seen on the previous two posts (and this one?), a reply of just a few lines currently leads to a lot of wasted/unused space because of the length of the left hand side 'box'.
I wouldn't want to lose the avatars, but the 'Deliciously Dedicated ..." stuff, the medals/rosettes, and particularly the new 'badger badges' seem like superfluous flim-flam.

i'm vain i like all those medals and rosettes

however the thanks counts etc need to be refined a little more, and kept to absolute minimum
