Default THE FORUM NEEDS A NEW FORMAT!!!

Sorry for the caps. I love this site but the message boards layout stinks. The posts move so fast it's hard to keep up. A topic should move to the top once a replies been made. Just my thoughts.

Default This is the best forum format that I've ever used.

If I want to see a topic with a new post move to the top, then I'll track it myself. It it moves to the top automatically, its wasting my time.

Default Strongly disagree (as do LOTS of AW members). I hate the UBB format. You just need to know......

how to use this format.

Start using thread tracking. The AW format is in almost every way superior to UBB.

Default You guys ever think of packaging it and selling the code?

Might be a good source of revenue...

Default putting my check in the box: "Strongly Disagree". One thing I really like is....

that at the top of each forum page, you are going to see 1.) Threads that you wanted to be tracked (by clicking "tt" or by posting in that thread with the auto "tt" when replying feature turned on) and 2.) New threads. On other forums out there, people post useless info within a thread so that it can be moved to the top (I think MTT is common? [Move To Top]). I don't want someone else controlling what threads are at the top of my page - I want the ones I'm concerned with as well as new posts. This forum rocks!!!

Default Right, and just because everyone else wants to talk about their clear taillights.......

doesn't mean that I do - with ths format, all the stuff that doesn't interest me gets washed away.

Default Stongly disagree

While you may not catch every post even if you scan backa few pages to catch up, you do have other options. You can tracka thread so that when a reply is made, it will come back to the top. Also, since much of the content is OT and AW just added an OT box for posting messages, you can opt to not see OT posts.
