An important point to be made here, is that this is possibly the last chance saloon for many people with either landline connections, or very slow broadband, to make any kind of meaningful contribution.

For that reason alone, the current text only format is ideal and should remain.

It's all very well for those who, like myself, have multi megabits/sec to demand more modern formats, but many of our members are so far from exchanges that their downloads and uploads work in geological time.

I say "Leave it as it is until it becomes impossible to avoid changing it".

Just my two cents worth! YMMV!
