[quote author="jedd" date="1290230028"]I'm going to keep one in reserve, and for now just suggest ISO 8601 date formats for the list of threads page - that wonky US mm/dd/yyyy format consistently screws with my brain.[/quote]

Especially as the 'posted' date is so nicely formatted but the joined date is different. Consistency people!!!

Also spam filters. It's been said, but it's really really really annoying. Like people using 'really' too many times..

One more addition: it would be nice if the search results are ordered by date. Now old ones can be on the first page, new ones on other pages. Which means that you sometimes "mark as read" while there are new ones you haven't seen yet.

A lot of new users are not using code tags and not stating what

This should be a sticky.

How to use Post Reply and code tags to wrap their code.
How to specify the CI version they are using.
etc.

Search Thread Facility, trawling through some threads looking for the info you want sometimes takes quite a while.

1.) New users are not allowed links in their signature unless they have a minimum of 5 posts on the site.
2.) More moderators to combat other types of link spam other than signature link spam.

I feel like even though I report spam, it takes a while for it to be removed. I, and a lot of others on the forums would be more than happy to help as a fair few people including myself check this site thrice daily.
