Thanks for all the other information its great

Ditto with Rusty Submarine's thoughts. I agree with your frustrations, especially after a few times spent trawling through pages of dead topics trying to find something you know's out there. Heaven knows I've started a few topics myself, asking one question which was answered straight away, then the thread died.

But I don't think there are any forums on the internet that aren't like that. And as forums go I think this one's pretty well-organised - eg. you can set the list of topics to cut off anything over 2 months old which keeps it nice and clear for me, and there is a decent team of active moderators who keep a close eye on a well-picked and small number of stickies.

What would you suggest to improve it?

(Damn this ambiguous form of communication - don't misread that last question as sarcasm or a sneering rhetorical question, interested to hear what you reckon).
