well - i too would wish for a modernized forum software. i suppose this forum dates nearly from last century... i just would find it very convenient to have functions that are quite normal for forums these days, like a link which lets you jump directly to the last/newest posting in a thread, instead of clicking first in the thread, then having again to click on the "last page", and then scroll down. or the function that shows you if there have been any new postings on a thread since your last visit. things like that.
BUT i'm going to keep coming here even if that never happens. it's the users who make this forum good, the software is just a framework.
