Forum – Marry, snog, throw off a cliff?

Options
Now we’ve got your attention, we’re looking for your thoughts and opinions!

We’re starting work on a Forum redesign that we hope will improve the look, feel and the way you move around it, making it easier for you to find the information you’re looking for and, when you do, showing it clearly.

So with that in mind we thought we’d have a bit of fun.

In no more than three lines and in this format can you tell us what on the forum you’d marry, snog and throw off a cliff eg

Marry: Multiquote button
Snog: MSE and Martins’ Twitter feeds
Throw off a cliff: Smilies

Keep on topic please

Please keep this thread to just the above "Marry, Snog, Throw off a cliff" format without other discussion so we can easily scan what you tell us. If you want to discuss the Forum Redesign in general you can discuss it on this thread: Forum Redesign Discussion

We can’t promise to get rid of or keep a particular forum item based on this, but it’ll help give us a general idea of what kind of thing is popular and what’s not with forum users.

Please be patient with us, even if you think we’re wrong!

All we ask is when you feedback to us you are courteous, constructive and remember there are real people working hard here who genuinely are trying to make things better. You can tell us in the above format what isn’t working for you, and why that doesn’t work. No problem.

However, if you simply come onto the thread to moan, disrupt, be rude to other forum members and staff and provide no value to the discussion other than “you’re all a bunch of talentless idiots who are ruining the forum for us forever”, we reserve the right to prevent you discussing on it as we simply won’t win you over, and we’d rather hear from people who have something salient to say that can help us shape the forum’s future.

We're going to leave this thread to run for a little while and come back to it when we've reached the relevant stage.

If you haven’t joined the forum yet but want to join in you can join the forum then reply to this thread by clicking "post reply" below.

Thanks in advance everyone

Andrea :)

    Throw off a cliff: Large amounts of clutter around the forum that I sometimes click on and end up at another page. Would be good to keep most of the links on the first page.
