board suggestion
i just had a question about the style of forums we have here. the way they're set up are a bit of a pain to read and to sort through, what with the thread titles being listed instead of just showing the post itself. it makes it hard to tell which posts are new and which ones are not, it just doesn't seem too user friendly to me.

lol no worries, i've been using the view that shows threaqds with the most recent replies first, it's just a little confusing because i can't remember which forum i was just at so i go through all of them again to see if there are any new replies. 🙂 thanks anyway 🙂
