Just a thought...
Could we make it so the forums had a favorite [persons name] of follow [persons name] setting so that you could find your favorite posters.
also I was thinking of a reply alert feature so you could know as soon a you log in if someone has commented on one of your posts.
+1 if you like
comment for suggestions
thanks
the follows # would not be seen by the person being followed so that people wouldn't compete for follows [ like they do in many forums with follows]
