[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1615064, member: 438800"] I agree. One apparently small point, but of great importance over time, is the sophistication of the software and the settings chosen by the administrators. It is easy to use but has some unusual options (in my experience). Two of those would be: (1) Being able to change the title of a thread. (2) Being able to edit a post afterwards; most fora allow this, but often for only half an hour or so. I also find that the moderators have a light touch, compared to other fora. It must be a really hard job given the seriousness of the subject matter. I sometimes wonder about the profusion of sub-fora here. I think, on balance, that is an excellent idea but it is under-used, especially by newbies who will ask a question for which there exists a whole sub-forum. I also think the "New Posts" column at the right of the main forum page is a mixed blessing because it makes it easier to jump into a sub-forum without context, but that is really something that forum members should take responsibility for themselves. I do wish more people would use the paragraph key! I think this must have something to do with people using smartphones (I don't own one). It is a fantastic place. Well done, diabetes.co.uk. [/QUOTE]
