The two posts above are mine, too, sorry: I'm on a different computer and didn't remember!

Peter Laban: There's a lot to be said for allowing (a limited) time to edit posts for typos, inserting images, easier to handle link insertion etc. Most forums allow you to see (more) quickly where and how many new posts have been made, how many people are actually reading the thread, which is useful.

It works as it is, yes, but that doesn't mean it can't move with the times and work a lot better.

Exactly. and I believe that's ALL that most of those who are pro an update are looking for....and a simple, functional search facility, of course! I'm astounded that stuff I search for here, using several of the options, and often with very specific wording, doesn't show at all, yet a more general query on Google will often flag several Mudcat items at the top of the listing. In fact, I go to Google first now!
