What Features Would You Like?

Instead of emailing or messaging the Admins or Mods with technical support questions or comments about the site, we prefer you check here to see if someone else has had the same difficulty or has made the same suggestion. What you're after might have already been posted and addressed here or within the FAQ. If not, please post a detailed description of the problem/suggestion and someone from the HST team will address your needs shortly. If you can't login/post and are unable to reset your password on your own, you may contact us directly.

Thanks, Greg. And sorry about that, folks. Should be working now.

Greg, I just found a cool feature in the admin area where you can copy the permissions from another forum over to a one just created. Pretty slick new feature! :)

When you are logged in and on the "Board Index" page click on "View new posts". That will bring up all of the threads with new posts since your last visit.

I know this is an old thread, but I figure this should be mentioned. I want to mention something I I would not like.

Please don't ever use forum software that allows for members to rate each other so that you can take away or add to someone's "reputation". I belong to mtbr.com and it's useless in my opinion and stirs things up.

Just my two cents.

I have no interest in developing something like that. I hope it's obvious that we're a pretty low-key community. The Admin/Mod staff here have always shrived to keep things on topic, informative and respectful. A rating feature, I think, would provide nothing of benefit to the culture of HST.

The ability to "Thank" a post would be nice
