It depends on what you mean by see on the forums. I would like to see a thread of random funny pictures. Hmmm maybe I'll go do that

well, you know how ubuntu forums has that drop down list where you can pick " my last posts" and it shows you a list of posts youve made..that could be handy.

I would like to see the Quick Reply box styled in a more typical fashion, where the text is aligned to the left, and not centered. I'm really not a fan of centered text, I find it somewhat distracting when I'm trying to type something, especially longer, more serious replies.

I'm using Opera on Ubuntu and it isn't centered. It's aligned to the left, like it's supposed to be...

I'd like the option to be set so that you don't have to click the "quote this post in quick reply" button to be able to use the quick reply field.

Why? Because as it is now Firefox doesn't automatically spell check the field unless you consciously right click and tell it to spell check.


(And yes, just fyi, it is an option in the vB Admin CP )

===

I'd also like to see "code" tags for Ruby and Python. That way when I type, for example:

[ruby]puts "Hello, world!"[/ruby]

I get some nice syntax-highlighted text instead of:

Code:
puts "Hello, world!"

I'd also like a "Programming Talk" forum or something like that.

I don't really see the need for this in a social discussion forum? But, maybe you have your reasons...

We have forums for exercising, a particular television show, gaming, and "entertainment" (which apparently doesn't include Music, Television, or Movies since they all have their own forums, therefor leaving... what for entertainment?)...

So, uh, why not?
