2. Some FS threads might change over time. Eg., the thread name might originally incl several items, some of which might be sold or not available later. Would then not be necessary to start a new thread, or have multiple FS threads to start, which just clutter up the forum.

3. Some topics change with time, and a name change could better reflect the current postings, again, without having to start a new thread. It is still nice to retain the original posts, to see where the thread has gone.
Again, another thing that I don't think is possible with the software. Editing is an all or nothing option, and All never worked out well. Perhaps Titus can look at available options for granularity in this area.

I guess you guys don't have access to the source code, or the ability to add macros, hooks, etc? Of course, I realize that is often not a good idea, with upgrades, testing, etc,...

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

1. Quick Reply
2. Cleaner advertising
3. More mobile friendly/App
4. Easier to post photos/have more photos. Not everyone wants a photobucket.
5. Sold button for Buy/Sell
6. Buy/sell based upon province/main cities
7. Less boring colors and layout

Ability to have replies to subscribed threads *always* be notified to e-mail (instead of just one, and then needing to visit the site to get more).

(might be a limitation on this version of the software)

It's a strange thing but I have noticed this behaviour as well. Sometimes I'll get EACH AND EVERY SINGLE reply to a thread that I've subscribed to emailed to me, but then there are times when I'll get NONE. Or sometimes I'll get one, and then subsequently posted replies I won't get. I suspect it's the algorithm within the software which gets buggered up. Maybe it thinks that it's doing you a favour by trying to avoid spamming you? I dunno.

Yes I hit that then it tells me to hit some other quick reply icon. With all this icon hitting it's not that quick. I should just be able to type in the box then hit post quick reply.done.

You're right, the post quick reply box does appear to be broken ! I've nver used it so never noticed but you can't just click into the boxx and start typing, then submit as you suggested. That's how it should work. Titus, fix it! Please and thank you :-)

Although, you're really only saving yourself from 1 additional click. 2 clicks to post a "quick reply" rather than 3 clicks to post a normal reply

Other random thoughts

Online store I would love to buy some Canreef trinkets(t-shirts, hats, pens, key chains and so on.....) might have to be on a trial basis though as it costs to do this

Newbie contest those starting up first time tanks probably would appreciate the notice prizes not necessary but just having their picture posted is pride enough only open to first timers though those who have been in it a year or more would have an unfair advantage

As social media is huge might be worth looking into advertising the site on mainstream but again is cost involved and is it worth it

Buy/Sell forum is one that has its use but at the same time seems to be a massive thorn in many people's sides I haved used the Buy/Sell before but its a forum I can also live without maybe look into linking it to its own site as it appears to fusterated a lot of people having a link to it's own site might be easier to maintain

Just my 5 cents(seeing as we no longer have the penny)
