Just a couple of suggestions for making the staredit.net forums awesomer:

1. Put a view count on forum topics. This is just sort of nice to see how popular a forum topic is.

2. Using the quote thingies, make there always be a link to the original post. This is just infinitely better.

Yeah they aren't imparative or anything, just add them to the to-do list if you think they're worth it.

They were both definitely in v4

I certainly hope it gets put on the to-do list, but I think broken things getting fixed should get (and are getting) higher priority.

Link to the original post would be splendid.
The other one would be good too.
Fixing everything that doesn't work sounds great to me as well!

Perhaps I can make a BBCode similar to IPB's snapback that provided the link for us in a little button and have it automatically add with quotes.

Coding a views column would be a bitch... and beyond my ability. Otherwise, I don't see it as necessary. What I would like to do is be able to click the # of replies for a topic and have it tell me who has replied and how many times. That was a useful feature back in v4.

I never even knew that existed O.o

Yeah, that was a cool feature. I think it also showed you who posted attachments in a thread, as well, so you could just click there as opposed to scanning through a topic.

I would like that as well as view counts Code them!
