Yeah I think that the forum would be better with a few enchantements.

1. BBCode- forum code
Implementing such thing as BBCode is a big feature to implement, but formatting posts is present on every forum I visited. Also adding BBCode inserters as buttons above the textarea on the post page would be great.

2. Encoding <, > and " as &lt; &gt and &quot;
I think that encoding <, > and " as empty strings wasn't the best solution for that problem. Replacing them with entities &lt; &gt and &quot; would display < as <, > as > and " as ". I have pleaded for this before.

3. Spice up the New Post / Thread and add a banner
Having a Meteor banner would make the forums better looking. Also the post page would be much better with some page padding and a larger "New Thread/Post Follow Up" (replace <b> with <h1>/<h2> for example).

4. Quick Post Follow Up
Having a small post-follow-up- textarea on the bottom of the posts table of threads I think shouldn't be too hard to implement. It is a nice feature that prevents you forgetting what you are replying to.

I know that James is busy but having these features one at a time would really spice up the forums a lot.

And while u'r at it, a 'delete this post' button should be nice.

1 if some one write's an not-so-nice post in a thread created by you, you are able to delete it.

2 if you write a post yourself in a thread and etc it is adouble post you should be able 2 dleet it.

1. Well would that take all jobs away from moderators?

2. This one could be handy
