Ok, this is going to be my last thread to combine efforts to make a summary of what things should still be changed or rather "changed back" to what they were before the new look this forum now has.

Bear with me, but the most important issue for me as a moderator and member who spends HOURS on this site, is the register page, which now only asks for "username, e-mail and password". downer

It took us months to convince Christopher to add "gender and above all language proficiency and location" , and now these requirements are simply gone..confused So Now we are back to again to "please fill in your profile" on almost all posts, as one can simply not always guess where the person is from and what his native tongue is.

And second and above all: the SEARCH ENGINE, no suggestion has been considered as far as we know, please let us know if you are at least considering it.

Read this for possible options.

So the first point on this list:

FEEDBACK THREAD ONE

FEEDBACK THREAD TWO

Please add to the list and give more feedback!

Latest activity, can be found under the "users" tab, this should have an extra tab or be somehow more visible.

1) To register on the site you are only asked for username, e-mail and password. NO username information is required. It is impossible to know the language proficiency and origin of the poster.

2) Search engine needs urgent change to be more userfriendly . (please see posts below and threads opened by Izanhoni, webdunce or pesta's suggestions and many others)

3) Codes and formatting do not work, no graphics are possible

4) Quizzes and Spanish site need corrections.

5) Reference section is difficult to find and should have a special link under the "learn" tab.

6) Comments are so small they can hardly be read. FIXED

The links for edit, author or post, time etc, also clearly marked now (underlined), FIXED

7) Avatar cannot be changed FIXED

8) Acronyms cannot be written in caps.

9) On dictionary the gray doesn't allow to read the options properly.

10) No clear separation on PMs as there used to be.

11) Join date is messed up, shows last night for everybody

12) When writing in caps no warning is given, like before, the question or answer is simply not posted.

13) Moderators should be clearly marked as such next to their names on any post, like on the old site.

14) The category of the question does not appear on the Question and Answer page.

15) The tab "Q&A" should be changed to "FORUM" , the forum is now hidden under an unknown accronym.

Please ADD suggestions or things that don't work for you!!

Also write DIRECTLY to FEEDBACK!

I think this list summarizes perfectly the users' highest priorities. It would be great if Chris and his team could use it as a guide for their improvements schedule. - Gekkosan, Feb 8, 2012
