I don't like the way this forum is setup. I think it could
be much more useful.
Since it only shows a very limited number of entries on a
page, some of the old posts that are very relevent get
forgotten. It is annoying especially if you have an
unresolved issue that nobody looks at anymore since it's
buried 8 pages back.
My suggestions:
1. Hide all the responses to the original post and just put
a number beside the post indicating how many responses
there are. It is totally unneccesary to list the responses
individually.
2. Make the list longer. Scrolling is not that hard. I'd
much rather have to scroll down a long list then only be
able to see 10 at a time. I'd rather see 200 at a time on
one page than have to wait everytime I want to see the
previous posts.
3. Have a way to get from a post back to the tree. I always
have to hit the back button on my browser numerous times to
see the list again.
Sorry to complain, but I'm a web designer and it drives me
nuts when there is an ineffecient design getting in the way
of a web sites usefulness. And I think you have a great
forum here that's not being used fully because of the way
the forum design works.
