hi nigel,just a thought,if possible how about putting on top of home page all the names of people online now,mike

Good idea....and maybe a chatroom?
Don't shoot me if everyone hates that idea.

nardoni, that's a good idea. The new Casio forum does that. You can see who is logged on to the forum. It also has a pretty cool PM feature.

While we're at it, how about the number of times a post was read. We have a lot of lurkers here and it would be nice to know just how many and what topics are most popular!!

The only thing I'd like to see changed is
NEW Background COLORS instead of Maroon, Dark Green, Gold.

My 2 cents worth:

I like things the way they are.

And maroon, dark green, gold matches my underwear. (sometimes)

All right, maybe thats 3 cents worth. I'm feeling generous today.

I have no idea why that would be of benefit. I've seen that on forums. Why would I care who's online?

Anyway, I suggested something many months ago but the answer was this software is what it is. I was saying it would help immensely if you could see who posted last to a thread. In fact, I kinda got shot down by some people, like "Why are you bitching, we like this place." I wasn't bitching, I was suggesting. I didn't know an upgrade from this version would be a big deal. I love the forum but new versions do have some very helpful features.

SemiLive,
I don't think you're bitching Being able to see who posted last is really nice. Personally I think the Zone is a great forum. I've been here for just over four years now I belong to a Casio forum too. This one has some cool features. You can see who is logged on, Send private messages, and who last replied to the topic. They're very nice features. I don't want Nigel to think I am knocking this site because I'm not. I'm very grateful that he has provided a place for me to post and discuss keyboards for the last four years. I've met some interesting people, shared ideas, sold, and exchanged a few things, and even bought from members as well. It's a great forum to belong to.

I agree 100% with you!
This forum wouldn't be the same with different colours, viewer or poster information.
I believe in the slogan "don't mess with success"! Period!

While it would be nice to be able to add new features the software that I am using doesn't support it. Without abandoning this BBS system completely and restarting from new with new software there really isn't a way I can add this to the current system. You can always include Yahoo Messenger names in your profile interests and use that for a live chatroom with other BBS members.
