My pet peeves with the Forum software:
1/ cannot keep a copy of ALL posts locally to permit searching without internet access
2/ does not keep track of what I displayed before I selected "mark forums read" (usually "New Posts")
3/ does not allow me to open a Forum tab in my choice of display (usually "New Posts")
4/ intercepts and discards some browser control keystrokes, esp. those which switch tabs
5/ does not provide user-selectable default font (it had had a user-selectable default style before the move, which is no longer available)
6/ the cursor controls "word-right" and "word-left" during editing are not symmetric - if a word follows a quotation mark, word-left stops between the mark and the word, but word-right stops before the mark
7/ switching fonts for part of the post and continuing to type sometimes it switches to the non-user-controllable default font, at other times it contines the previous font, according to rules I have not yet discovered.
Anybody else?
