Not sure is this is the right place to post this, but it would be nice if we had an area to post suggestions to improve the forum.

My first suggestion is to add the option to browse one's unread posts.I have seen this option on other forums and it helps one to keep in touch better than trying to view each and every area,

I am not sure what that is supposed to do. It said what all notifications would be marked as unread. Like I said, on some other forums, I can just get a list of unread POSTS.

Hack, try the Quick Links menu in the upper left corner. There's a selection for "Unread Posts". See if that's what you're looking for.

Do we have the ability to post polls on this site? I've seen it on other forums.

Yes, just start a new thread and Poll creation is an option in the same area under the text box where you would post pictures from your computer.

I'd like to make a suggestion and I'm not sure if it's even a forum thing or on my computer.

When I click on links in other forums the websites open in new tabs in my browser. When I click on links in this forum it opens the link in the current page. This means in order to go back to the Henry forum I need to click 'back'. Not a huge hassle but it would be better to have the links open in a new tab. Can someone make that happen?!?!?

Links open in new pages for me but that is how I have my computer set up.

OK that's how it works for me in other websites just not this one. I'll see if I can figure it out.

JCN, I added something that should open links in a new page. It works for me. Click on one of the sponsors on the top right to test it quick. It should work for everyone.
