We still have the speed issue between posts, actually seems slower, Am I correct?

Ditto over here for the speed issue.

Another suggestion for the forums would be to have a section for misc. Software
ie: Real player, MSN, ICQ, Quick time, Win zip, Zone alarm, Internet downloaded programs, tweak Utilitires. etc..............

I didn't notice but ther is already a section for this under Applications called other apps. Sorry.

Another cool Idea would be a list of the Members with their total posts beside starting from the most posts to the least.

Just to see where we stand in the 30 000 plus mambers.

If you're missing the avatars, just put it in your signature.

I am so glad you got rid of the stupid stars. Hated them demeaning things.

They shouldn't be demeaning they were ther to show your Dedication to the Site along with the posts. and the Avatars were for those that dedicated them selves to helping others over 200 times.

I see no problem with the stars . It's kind of like getting a sticker in grade school for doing a decent job.
I'd like to see the Custom/Mamber statuses come back also.

These things are a benifit to the site it keeps peole coming back. I don't think I would have came back if there were no stars/posts/avatars/status when I visited the site for the first time. now it doesn't matter as much because I've grew to like the Site.
But at first if I had came to this site and saw a boring old Forum I'm sure I wouldn't still be here.
For those who don't want them then ignore them, just post your questions and answers and quit complaining. [not directly pointing to you].

I tend to agree with DANIMAL. The first time I visited here I immediately got the impression that this is a serious forum and that members are skilled people, not just lamers hanging around. Most other technical forums available on the net are bland and boring. This one stands out, because of additions such as Member Status etc. It somehow has a sense of professionalism and control around it. I'm sure that, although it is not their primary objective, most members are proud of their status and the fact that they are part of the forum's success.
I feel a sense of belonging is important, and that's why this forum has 30000+ members.

I never even noticed the one you all seem to be talking about....always used the link on the left edge under Forums myself.

Always liked the improvements to the home page.Stupid question time,did you change the icons on the advance search page for Microsofts benefit,or Windrivers?All the new icons on xp,and the advance search page,kinda like brain freeze.
