Scratch

I like everything.

Again, people, sparks is more looking for likes and dislikes of the forum system itself rather than the community and its users.

I mentioned above, everyone, that I'm looking for positives and negatives about the current fora's features more than the current fora's user-base 

Anyway, since I'm here, I may as well put my two cents in. I dislike the forum blocks (which are ancient, though I understand the Scratch Team not updating them) and the fact that there's no Preview button on the quick reply box. I also would rather the new posts that I read be marked read as I do so.

I +1 all three of these.

I dislike the fact that there is no way to appreciate posts that users have done. That's why I made my like button system a while back.

I +1 this too. 

I gave several comments over on the forum dev thread, so I'll just copy some of them to here. 

The boards could be split into sub-boards, for even better categorization. (I love virtual categorization.)

On topic list pages, I think it should show the topic title the way it currently does, and the first x characters of the message (newlines and spaces reduced) in a smaller font. This could be disabled though. The icons next to the title could be improved. Gray for closed, black for no-posts-in-over-a-month, blue for last-post-by-scratcher-or-new-scratcher, and maybe green for last-post-by-admin-or-mod.

We don't get enough time to edit topic titles.

I sometimes want to see what a post previously was, before it was edited. A user could choose whether to allow past viewing or not.

I'd like a bigger sig, maybe another 25px.

I'd like more themes.

I dislike:
Users that like to post provocative topics to get attention.
"I quit" topics
Spam preventatives
Minecraft topic floods

I like:
That the most part of the users are friendly.
Intelligent responses
That everyone on here knows how to spell.

I vote for everything on both lists. 

I don't like it when people write like this:
