• A better help section.
• Opion for users to choose a theme.

Well if we are going to make suggestions, mabey a spell checker for our posts

–lee

Firefox has spellbound extension option and you can have English UK spelling too.

Lee, IE and its clones (Maxthon, Green Browser, Avant…) have a plugin for it (IESpell).

Other suggestions:

1. Non-read posts by the user and the option for choosing which boards you want to ‘subscribe’. With one buttom, the user could see all ‘non-read’ posts in avast forums togheter.

2. Possibility to hide: avatars, pictures, signature, etc. Will help the dial up users.

3. Themes.

4. Send the new post contents in the notify email

5. Possibility to block IM

Guys all of this is avaliable in the Simple Machines Forum. Just convince pavel to download it

I know MAC, and it is my understanding Alwil will switch to SMF as soon as the official release comes out. (expected at the end of this month according to the rumours)

I asked this as a “How do I do this?” question ages ago, and at least a couple of others agreed it would be handy if the new software will permit it.

If you’re in a forum and hit the “Mark as read”, how about getting moved back to the “parent” list at the same time? “Mark as read” presumably means you’re done with that forum for the time being and want to move on to others.

(Edit) Thought of another one, that a lot of boards have – show date and time of your previous visit to the forums.

Here is my wish:

If it’s possible, it would be great to have FRIENDS LIST or BUDDY LIST close to our INBOX.

Right now, having IGNORE LIST in our INBOX preferences is great feature, but we are missing BUDDY LIST…

Sometimes, inside these forums, it’s very hard to search for some people to whom we want to send IM. Having a BUDDY list would make it a lot easier and lot faster IMHO.

Thanks !

Here is a tough one.

I would like to see the board to be cleaned up.

Too many threads are having the same questions and answers, makes it hard for novices to find things.

That feature would be great!

Another idea just popped in my mind (now my head hurts ;D)

Don’t call the personal pictures avatar but avastar ;D

Is this for the Avast forums? ???

Nope, for the new Avast board. (forums are only a part of it) ;D

Cool

I read in another thread (see I can’t find it) a suggestion of having some threads with known issues, suggestions or help that are probably relevant to many. There would be no way for anyone but the original poster, moderator, or those “in the know” to post to it. That way the information doesn’t get cluttered with so many different folks problems or questions. It wouldn’t prevent a person from responding to the information, but their post somehow would not be seen. All moderators could use those outside posts to further give information to the said thread.
I know I often start reading something of interest to me and buy the time it gets on down to 3 or 4 pages, I have no idea what’s going on.
But don’t do away with individual posts either.
Easier said then done I suppose.
Well, just a suggestion and I know I do my own amount of cluttering.

I agree with Eddy’s …Clean Up the Forum idea.

I started discussion on this one:

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=9256;start=30#msg77624

That’s for sure best idea on how to keep all information regarding new program updates in one thread… many boards have same threads, why not we ? I also posted some screenshots, so be my guests, take a look in there… please, read every single word till the end of the thread…

Many people already supported that idea, so I believe we definitely should have a thread like that one…

Sasha, I knew I read your idea somewhere, but I would never have found it again. lol
Now, I am real good about giving the ideas and directions about How to Clean Up but sure don’t like to do the work. Same thing here at home…that’s why I have a husband.

Don't call the personal pictures avatar but avastar ;D

Now this idea I like!

SMF 1 is final. Can we expect Avast to switch to it soon?

Yes, a beta version is already done as far I know.
For some reason, that I ignore, it’s not only yet 8)
