This is a silly enough place to have fun. It should have a lengthy lifetime.
Some ways to make the forum even more user-friendly, thus getting more folks addicted.
1) Make sure that the email notification messages work. - Ability for users to subscribe to a thread and to a sub-forum. - Instant, full replies with the email notification - "Someone liked your post" is annoying. Make sure that the user account is mentioned, who liked the post.
At some point it's nice to click the link and see what did really happen, but at the end of the day it's simply annoying. This will result as ignoring the forum.
2) Reduce the size of all the avatars and forum icons by 50 to 66%. Those are not really interesting. We are here to talk with each others, not interested to see the icons.
3) Only one pinned topic per sub-forum. No exceptions, what ever happens. Preferably there are no pinned topics, ever.
That's all for now.

I see that you are having your own identity crises 'MJP - on admin duty', but it's good to know that things are getting fixed. :D

It's so no one gets confused about who they're talking to. Streetcowboy made a great suggestion and it solves an issue of me having two accounts because of the root admin thing.
No more confusion.

Oily ki, we are just hobbists, so we are trying as much as we can to improve it.
My first computer was an Acorn,.....
I think I might still be stuck that phase

Not to worry. I'm just giving some ideas.. and having a bit of fun at the same time. I know it's not so easy to make things perfect at the first go. This forum is very new, so all the changes, even to worse, are welcomed at this time.
You have already done a lot of changes, for the better, which is great. Keep on doing, trying, sometimes allowing to make mistakes. The end product is what matters.
I want the end product to be a fun and silly lounge for a good laugh and chat.

I'd better get down Home Pro to sort out all these improvements.
We need a pergola.

Can't see any clowns on here, but the village has lost some idiots. I mean that respectfully.

To be labelled the village idiots is a proud moment for the Big Mango. In fact it's given me a kernel of an idea for a motto.
