Here's my request for an "improvement" to the forum system.
The most annoying thing I've seen so far is that I have to click on each individual reply on a thread to see it, since they are all "collapsed" and not readable.
THIS IS VERY ANNOYING! Why can't this place work like a real forum and have the replies visible by default?
If there is a way to achieve this now, then please do tell me. Otherwise, that is my suggestion for a better forum experience.
EDIT:
FINALLY figured it out. The "Options" link on the top of the topic area is defaulted to "Outline" view. I changed it to "Standard" and now I have the traditional layout.
So enlight of that, I would suggest you have "Standard" view enabled by default! Outline view might confuse some newcomers, better yet, just remove it. Who the hell still uses it anyway!?
