I want the front end to be essentially the same. However I want to post pictures easily.
I want to address directed responses easily with an effective ALL.
I want views counted again
I want the sidebars to work and not derelict.

Hi Chickensoup! Point-by-point...

> I want the front end to be essentially the same. However I want to post pictures easily.

-- Posting images only requires knowing a trivial bit of HTML, but that does throw some folks, despite the HTML Tutorial pages.
-- The FR site does not have storage space for images, so they have to be linked from elsewhere on the internet, either the original/source site, or a copy on an image-posting site.
-- Providing on-site storage space is WAY out of budget. -- So I suspect posting images will remain a minor hassle.

> I want to address directed responses easily with an effective ALL.

-- Spamming everyone on a thread ("ALL") is discouraged intentionally, and in any case it can only address those members who have already commented; anyone joining after the "ALL" won't be pinged to it.
-- I suspect a working "ALL" addressee is a non-starter. (I think the current target is just a blackhole.)

> I want views counted again

-- Agreed, I enjoyed that feature. No idea why it disappeared.

> I want the sidebars to work and not derelict.

-- Agreed.
