One of my passions is for the macintosh computer and I'm a daily poster on my favorite mac forum in my home country. I'd like to suggest an important feature I've first seen on that forum that might improve interaction between visitors on the ADDforums. I use it a lot and it makes a more in-depth discussion of certain subjects easier to maintain.
- Make it possible to check on posts in threads people have started or contributed to. For instance: on the starting page add the choices: my messages, messages since last visit, unanswered messages. I miss this option - especially being ADD I don't always remember where I've been.

When you sign in, just click on "view new posts" at the top right.
then it lists all the new posts since the last time you've been here.
The search feature works well too.

The "subscribe to this forum" or "subscribe to this thread" allow you to get notification on specific additions via email. This works very well for conversations that are ongoing and immediate.

I think once you find your way around you might find this board has many of the features that many find useful.

I belong to a number of boards that use this software. It is very popular with users and administrators alike.

Check in your "user cp" for options and features that you might want or not want enabled. The suggestion by imatotalmess about using the "view new posts" on the main page for the forums is a bonus. I use that feature a lot too and it's a heck of a good way to see what topics are active since last checking.

Cheers! Ian.
