Forum wishlist - please readFollow

Well, the allakhazam forum system (not counting the comments section) has been in operation for about 3 years now, and it's grown quite a bit. Illia, Danalog and the rest of the programmy types have instituted a wide range of requested features over the years, including the PM system, forum search, IRC linkback, etc. I would like to compile a new list of most requested forum enhancements. Please take a moment and compose a list of 1-5 improvements you would like to, in an ideal world, see in the forums here. Please limit this to the forums, not the rest of the site (site enhancement requests can be submitted to the feedback forum directly) and rank your wishlist choices in order of how much you would like to see them implemented on a 1-5 scale.

Replies here will be fairly heavily moderated, i.e. all off topic replies will be removed to preserve readability. If you have a comment about someone elses idea, please save it for the compiled list of potential ideas thread that will follow.

I will also be posting this in several of the other forums, and we will be compileing the answers in about a week or so.

Thank you for your time in considering this matter.

I think this is only about the forum Dirges, not other site features

Another forum I post in has recently put in place an ignore feature. It's a button at the bottom of each post which allows people to ignore individual users. It's designed to take the heat out of situations if people get peeved with each other for some reason.
Can be checked or unchecked.

The EQ2 forum is relatively peaceful but this feature could be handy for Alla's elsewhere

The "Forums" button on the left toolbar shows all game forums. Rename that to "All Forums". If I'm in the EQ2 Community page, I don't want to scroll through every other game to find my section. Mirror the EQ2 section to the main page (see comment below).

Ability to "mark all as read". Unless that's already there and I missed it.

A new section on main EQ2 Main Page listing the newest 5 threads, author, and title. It's already hidden under the "Forums" button, but it's also with every other game.

"...Discussion" buttons on left side, make them bold when the forum has new threads.
