Really?
POst 166 : FR needs a serious functional upgrade to include such standard features as post formatting, editing, object insertion, emoticons, etc
That is kiddie stuff. This is an adult forum. I don't need emoticons to tell people how I FEEEEEEL. I have words.
some folks will tell you that you'll have better success in life if you ask questions
I certainly didn't see you ask any. You told us how important you were and proceeded to tell us how lacking FR is.
OK, how about losing your fixation with emoticons (which greatly helped other forums) for a minute and think about ease of use functions for people who may have trouble typing or arthritis. It is called being considerate and thinking of your users. I can't believe you think ease of use won't sell. Finally, I am sure that members of another (adult touring biker) forum that does have all the features could easily demonstrate that they too have an adult forum. They also use other kiddie stuff with icons and ease of use features like iPads, iPhones, Androids, GPS, FLIR HUD devices, etc.
