After I realized that upgrading is good I was thinking about an idea for the forums.  Some forums have a quick reply feature at the bottom of the topic so you can type a response without having to load the "reply to topic" page.  This would be a great benefit to topics that receive alot of quick messages, and would make things easier for those on dial-up in particular.  I am aware this is probably hard to implement so maybe it is not able to be done.  Just a suggestion.
