Forum Improvements

[tbradshaw]

I thought I would just make a couple quick forum improvement suggestions.
The (New) indicator on new threads is nice, but traditionally existing threads with new posts since your last visit are also highlighted in some way.  This would be a great addition as it helps keep existing threads alive and highlight those with interesting conversation.
Also, listing the threads in reverse order of creation is okay, but--again--traditionally threads are listed in reverse order by last-post.  This reinforces conversation for active threads (with an adverse effect of encouraging "bumping").
I think these common forum traits would enrichen the forum experience here on rockbandgame.com.

We are well aware.&nbsp; There was a bit of a rush to the finish on getting the site up and the forum software that was part of the suite blows (we actually can't order by most recent post without heavily editing).&nbsp; We think we may migrate to new forum software in the near future that will also run a little faster and suck a lot less.&nbsp; Thanks!<br>

Ah, right on.&nbsp; I'll just be patient then. <br>

It may come as early as this week.&nbsp; We know the forums are important for a kick ass community.&nbsp; We're testing some stuff right now and we'll update soon (I hope!)<br>

The thing I hate most about these forums, is. Not only are they slow, but they seem to get slower each time you open a new page...

We are hoping to have the new forums on Monday unless there is a big weird bug in it - which of course is possible.
