Forum improvement suggestions

[stevens]

I am a newbie here, but still brash enough to suggest some minor tweaking to the layout of this forum to make it a bit more user-friendly.<br /><br />1) How about numbering the posts in a thread so that it is easier to reference a specific post above?<br /><br />2) Could we perhaps have an indication of how many are online at any given time and, if they are registered, who they are?<br /><br />3) Could we have some indications of how many times a post has been read, in addition to showing how many have replied?<br /><br />What do you guys think?

Hi Stevens,<br /><br />I think that a forum like this is good, because it's so open and friendly. Some forums - you state your mind and you're out!<br /><br />Speaking only for the way I personally use this forum (other guys might use it in an entirely different way) I ask myself - what real benefit would I get from your three suggestions?<br /><br />I can't see any real benefit. But others who use the forum might reckon your ideas are great. Be interesting to see the responses.
