    Great initiative.

    I responded in the survey that I use the green skin but I have used the blue when I first came here! I wish the question had allowed for some kind of 'both' answer because at the moment I've still spent longer on the blue than the green.

    Would love to help out! Whilst I'm loyal to the forums, they really could do with an update and becoming more usable! Another one here who uses both skins so couldn't answer the survey 100% honestly - the blue is more readable day to day but the green is needed for certain features around thread manipulation!!

    Things I'd love to see:
      Ability to use tables/table tags
      A far larger editing pane in the Advanced screen (fine to have a small one within the thread for quick responses)
      Better editing options, even if only for Board Guides - the system is so clunky for what should be quick tasks, much better to have some kind of GUI interface rather than all the tags;whilst I'm fine with them, some older generation or less tech savvy people do occasionally struggle with them, so either an editor that allows visual formatting (think Notepad++ style) or that at least makes tags bold to help them stand out, or as complete GUI interface with option to revert to tags in an advanced screen
      A better way to include pictures, whether it's hosting an image server or what, I don't know, but it's a pain right now and very outdated when you see how easy it is on other, newer, social media
      Emojis/text colour boxes - on some screens/platforms the menu for them disappears up to the top of the screen for some reason which is annoying at best... also veeeeeery dated looking! (but they are quite unique so that's nice!)

    That's off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more I've thought of and didn't keep a note of!
