A few suggestions......
On the top of the main forum pages I realized that when you highlight the links, on the SubSilver template(not sure about others) that there are no underlines for the quick links across the bottom for the Home, Gallery, Chat, Radars, Stats and Weather Cams. You have to actually press the icon corresponding with the description.
Another...I'm hoping in the coming future that all the templates will be accessible with all of the proper links as well. I noticed that using some others like Classic etc, that you lose a few of the links.
Another.....when replying to a topic or a thread, is there any way to also pin beneath the last reply what the topic is? For instance: If I'm getting an email to respond to a game...say Word Game #1, I click it and it takes me right to the reply window, but sometimes I have to scroll all the way to the top of a page to remember what the topic was in the 'headline'.
Is there the possibility of putting some kind of sports/recreation forum on? Since we all do not stay glued here and we have other things going on, like boating and going to the beaches and taking trips and so forth, it would be neat to have a separate area for just that purpose. Also it might be a great addition to have an area or forum dedicated to member's personal pics they'd like to show (aside of course from the Gallery and storm damage).
I have others, but I just wanted to shout out a few on the top of my head for now and see if I can get feedback on these or if anything is worth doing. Thanx Guys and keep up the great work around here!

Re: A few suggestions......
A couple of quick answers with more to follow as we get feedback:
1. On the templates: We are trying to get down to 4 or 5 templates and then we'll update those with all the features. I'll "Bump" the old poll or recreate it today to let everyone have their say on which ones we keep. The subSilver template is our default and therefore the first to get any changes. We will add the underline link capability to the new icons as soon as possible.
2. The "e-mail notification" on a watched topic is a core function of the standard phpBB board. We'll add this request to the "to be investigated" list but I can't promise we will get to it any time soon but we'll try and take a look.
3. As far as a "Sports and Recreation" forum, why don't you start a poll and let people voice their opinion? Maybe choices like "Yes" "No" "Don't care"
Thanks as always for the feedback [/quote]

Ok...well for the reply section...say for instance I'm replying to this message, it shows right aboive the window the breakdown as follows:
Storm2K Forum Index -> Board Suggestions
Why cant there also be a breakdown and add what the thread is? If this was possible it would now show:
Storm2K Forum Index -> Board Suggestions -> A Few Suggestions.....
See what I'm referring to now? Sometimes it gets confusing and I have to go back to scrolling to the top of the thread or checking email before deleting what the topic was.

I was wondering the same thing about the links above.
We need to click the icon for 'Home', 'Gallery', 'Chat', 'Radars', 'Stats' and 'Weather Cams', rather than the 'link word(s)".
I find the "Home" key for getting to the top of a site and the "End" key for getting to the bottom of a page very useful when there are no links to what we want to do next.

One of the reaons that we haven't moved forward with the 2.0.4 upgrade is that several of the Mods that we currently use are still in the process of being updated. The last thing we want to do is take away features that people use and enjoy. Before we actually upgrade the ain board we will also do a test upgrade on our development board. We like to proceed cautiously so that we can hopefully minimize downtime for the board. Better safe than sorry

Are you guys going to have the ability to expand sig line chars to more than 300? Not that I need a gigantic one, but I wanted to add color to mine and every time I tried to do it I was over the 255 ceiling. My sig pic alone has quite a few chars since it is long with the directory. While it would be easy to type a small paragraph with 255, I'm a picture/writer myself! Just wondering if there could be a little room there to drop in things but causes more space to be used.
