Search box and browsing new posts
Many of the suggestions I have made, including these, come from my favorite forum, SitePoint. It is also a vBulletin site.
So here goes:
* Have the search box be visible - there is the space in the header, and having it upfront will hopefully encourage folks to search for something before they post.
* For the Quick Links, have the ability to view updated, new or unanswered topics. The latter is a way for people to help when they can, and see what has not been responded to.
I have found all of these helpful in my work and building community.

Can we make the "smiles" off by default? I could not find that option in my profiiles. Instead you have to reply by "Go Advanced" and turn it off. As you know the template code is full of strings which make the smiles &mvta:parent:code; put a ton of smiles in the example code.Bill Weiland - Emporium Plus http://www.emporiumplus.com/store.mvc

I'd suggest using the code quoting box - it not only avoids smilies, but also preserves all formatting and makes the code better readable (especially if you use the HTML code box - it the uses color syntax). You do not need to switch to the Advanced mode for quoting, although the buttons are not available in the quick editor - simple enclose your code into {HTML}{/HTML} or {CODE}{/CODE} (use square brackets instead though)
Example (it works for templates code, of course too):
HTML Code:<MvIF EXPR="{NOT l.admin}"> <MvASSIGN NAME="g.pageID" VALUE="REG"> </MvIF> <input type="hidden" NAME="edit" VALUE="0">

Still waiting for a style sheet that uses scalable sizing...and hopefully one that has an overall denser appearance...(text only too?)
But, my real reason for this post is to ask others if the forum is causing problems with Firefox. Using 1.0.7, ever since enabling enhanced message formating, I can view about two pages before everything locks up...doesn't even have to be a page where the html formatting application is in use.Bruce Golub

yes, i know about that view, but it doesn't let you post. That would be a good start though for what I was looking for...just make sure the fonts use em sizing or percentages that can scale<G>.Bruce Golub

I've tested it out and it appears to be working. You can now subscribe to both Forums and Threads and receive an "Instant Email Notification".

Essentially I am trying to make it so you will receive an individual email, with the subject of the email in the header. The email should contain the post's entire contents.
What you won't be able to do is reply to a post via email, you will have to come to the forums to respond.
I am also working on the RSS feed.
In regards to the forums, these are my 2 biggest priorities. I won't be able to get to them before I head out today, but I will try to get these set up next week.
Thanks!

Forum wishes
Here are my wishes...
1. Two new top level topics, similar to Off Topic.
A. Other Technical Topics. This would be a place for questions about Javascript, MySQL, blogs applications, etc.
B. Ecommerce and Marketing. This would be a place to discuss general concepts, like upselling, usability, emailings, etc.
The reason I suggest these would be different than "Off Topic" is, Off Topic can then be for more "fun and completely off topic" posts, like games or jokes, that people like to post. The topics I suggest in A and B aren't necessarily Off Topic, because they have to do with the Web stores we're working on, which is really what Miva Merchant is about, right? I just think that
2. That this Forum Wish List be a higher-level topic where each wish is a separate topic, not all one humongous thread that is impossible to read after a while.
Oh, and I wish I had a million dollars, but that's not really a Forum wish...
