I'll be honest and say I almost never even click on the "Forums" button.  The stuff that's on the homepage is what's most important to me, and with my current situation I'm able to browse it frequently.  I rarely even scroll down.  The gallery pics are small and out-dated, and what's with so many Amiga owners having such terrible quality cameras?  ;)

At a glance, it looks like you've already gotten rid of useless forums like the electric cars one, and whatnot?

I will say that the Amiga Google+ group someone mentioned here the other day is kind of awesome.  That's pictures done right, if you want some ideas.  ;)

If we're putting things on a wishlist, I'd like the homepage to auto-refresh.  Like a scrolling ticker of new posts.  :)

I've never had the logout problem.  FIrefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, multiple versions, multiple computers.  I also run CCleaner on my computer every day to clean it, but I specifically have it set to *not* delete cookies for sites like this.  Huh.  I know lots of other folks have had that problem.  Maybe it's something to do with their ISP?  Don't you guys still filter/block by IP address?  Could be related to that?  No idea.

I'm sure AmigaKit is already regretting posting this thread.  ;)

But while we're on it, I'd like to see a forum for new games being released.  For example, you've got this great new game, very polished, and what does the link say?  "Check it out over on EAB". :(

http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=68278

Now I'm sure EAB is a swell forum.  I don't have time for more than just this one here, though, so it would be great if there was a place where info on new games was posted, so people could discuss them.  Like, a thread for each new game.  I know this is kind of "still thinking in the 1990's", when new Amiga software was released on a regular basis, but I feel like there's still a lot of new software being released out there that gets absolutely no mention on this entire site.  And that's just a shame.  :(

I only look at the coffee house to read about electric cars.:)

I own stock in freaking Tesla and I don't even read that crap here.  :lol:

User can select between Basic/Standard/Enhanced Interface in User CP -> Edit Options -> Message Editor Interface. The Basic one is mostly just a text box without any formatting tools.

+1.  All those features you've requested are already available!  :hammer:
