Easy wins / quick fixes

- Move the link for "My Threads" to the main navigation instead of having it hidden away in the control panel.: I don't know if that would be easy or hard to implement but it's something I've often wished for.

oh, good - somewhere to put the trivial point that bugs me so much!

I usually use Reply Post Notifications to know about thread changes.
Could we have the link in the email go direct to the new post the email was caused by?
I know the fragment is already referenceable, as I have seen it done before, so there is no extra work there - just change the email writing job to send a slightly different url.

twitter has recently been added as an icon below the username. add other services like facebook.

change 'report msg' to 'report post' or 'report message' or 'this is spam' to help clear up its use. Craigslist has made the term 'flag this post' mean something different that its use here, so clarity would help.

This is one of those "hot spots" visual studies. Where one decides if left/right or left/vertical or combination of both and/or ad inserts right v inline... Dang few of us will agree on most.

Biggest problem is that no site knows the browser width in use, and in these days of widescreen monitors, unless "totally fluid" in presentation, the site can get messed up really bad. Unlike TV or FILM the WEB still has no rules of dimension because the end user is not forced to receive the info in a fixed manner.
_{And can change their fonts/size/colors in browser...}
I'd opt for LOGICAL first. Pretty it up SECOND and do that fluid (are you listenin' Brett?).

There's a reason why bing and google and even hoary yahoo still look good and get the job done. And Webmasterworld, too. I also know that Brett and co. are working on customization (that was a promise when they took it away last year) and have no doubt that css/divs will be next rollout (and won't make a hill of beans difference in PERFORMANCE). But there is a LIMIT to begs for pretty (that's a euphemism for "bells and whistles" which is also a euphemism for Web 2rhea that I can live without).

Not looking for ajax, js... see no benefit for what essentially is a database driven forum. The only thing I WANT is a truly fluid css design I can zoom up, customize (colors/fonts) in my browser whether full screen/half screen, or even quarter screen.

THAT (my way of thinking) is real examples of how to get'er done.

Meant to address this:

change 'report msg' to 'report post' or 'report message' or 'this is spam' to help clear up its use. Craigslist has made the term 'flag this post' mean something different that its use here, so clarity would help.

What's wrong with "report" and forget all the other clarity? Saves a few bits of bandwidth and means the same thing. Let's not overwork an already functioning bell that has no whistle.
