1) The "Create New Topic" in the message pages is kind of redundant and unnecessary. I've clicked that accidentally a few times when trying to make a reply.

2) When browsing the a particular topic, a link to the last page would be useful.

My 2 cents.

This. Also, sometimes when I'm browsing I'm randomly logged out and forced to log back in? o_O Not to mention sometimes I have to log in twice before the boards accept me.

And it would be nice to get a list of numbers of pages, even if we couldn't click on them and be brought automatically to that page. It'd just be nice to know how many pages you have to scroll through.

More stuff, but the recurring "Logging me out randomly when browsing" is really getting irritating, but only because it leads to my next point:

It'd be nice when, for some reason, we're not logged in, some things were fixed when we tried to post.

Currently if you're not logged in and you try to post, you're just led to a page where you're told to log in. Upon doing so, (which sometimes takes two times, for some odd reason >_>) you are led to your account page.

What this means is you now have to either (1) Click Back on your browser to get where you were, or (2) Start from scratch from "Forums".

This could be fixed by sending the unlogged user immediately to the login page when they try to post, and then once they are, take them directly to the thread/post he/she was trying to comment on. Example:

(1) User is not logged in.
(2) User attempts to post.
(3) User is redirected to the Login screen.
(4) Upon logging in, the user is redirected to the thread/post where he/she was trying to post.

One more thing:

/Jackie Chan's uncle

Whenever I finish editing a post, it takes me to a page with the option: "Go to reply" or something like that. I was under the impression that it would take me to the page where the post I just edited was.

Imagine my surprise when it takes me instead to the first page of the thread, if it's a multipage thread. So then I have to backtrack or click my way through.

Mind you, this could be fixed if threads showed all the pages...>_> but whatever.

Hm, I think I've pinpointed where the problem is. Whenever I finish posting a reply, and I'm taken to the first page (instead of the last page, where I should be taken) and I click on the name of the Subforum (Like "The Trashcan", for example), THAT'S when my login is erased.

Don't know if it's like this with all forums, but it's for the Trashcan, at least.
