I have a few suggestions, but let me say that they are extremely nit-picky, and the forums really are great overall and I am very appreciative. 1.  When you are looking at different topics, why does the author's name appear in the center above the topic name?  It's said off to the right, and just sort of clutters things in my opinion, but I thought there was perhaps a reason for having it twice. 2.  It might be nice to have the PM/ Profile buttons (on member's profiles) off to the left under their avatar or something, as it sort of blends in with their post. Again, really nice site. _________________ www.ipetitions.com/petition/geaugalake Top 10 Coasters: 1.) El Toro 2.) Maverick 3.) Millennium Force 4.) Goliath ~ SFoG 5.) X 5.) Raptor 6.) Deja  Vu 7.)

There's already a cell with the topic starts name so having it again above the topic name is useless and kinda cluttering. _________________ "Despite low attendence at Cedar Point Amusement Park, CEO Dick Kinzel decicded to close down its sister park, Geauga Lake, in hopes for more attenence."

Right now I see no way of changing it. I am looking into it and if possible I will make the change.

I know with remotely hosted phpbb's, it's hard to change the color of stuff. Also, how about a personalized header and have it link back to the main forum page? I'm so used to clicking the forum header to get back to the front page.

As far as a personalized header there is not a lot of customization available on this forum, although I have been able to change quite a bit. I think the tree at the top of each reply and forum is a good way to navigate through the forums. It might not be the same as other forums but I think it is definitely usable.

If I wanted to I could go to my computer every hour and reply to posts. I also like the feature that shows who is online. At first I thought that everything was a little bright but now I'm used to it and I think it is a ton better than Geauga Guide.

I know it will highlight the topics that have new posts, but as far as I can tell, you still have to skim through the posts to find where you left off.

I get those too because I forgot to take the check off. _________________ On September 21, 2007, a historic 119-year old amusement park had been secretly murdered. Never forget it.
