Heres your chance to moan whinge and make suggestions.

I'm looking at a new forum. Vbulletin seems to be quite good, what features would you like to see here? Here is my list - add to it or make other suggestions.

FASTER - the forum needs to be much quicker (we now have over 3000 members and the database is slowing up! I'm moving to a faster server sometime this week so there might be a couple of hours downtime but this should be a short term fix.

SPAM - Rather than limiting everyone to so many posts within a time limit and banning PMs for everyone exept for on request I would prefer to see tighter control on new members and relax this after say 10 posts. This will mean we get a better and spam free exisitance.

SUBFORUMS - It would be nice to have all the makes and models as a sub forum rather than all take up space on the front page.

BLOGS - Members should be able to have an online diary about their cars and update us on their projects - this can then be part of the main site and open to everyone rather than just the forum members to read.

PICTURES - It needs to be really easy to upload and include pictures in our posts. At the moment it is not particularly easy to do.

GALLERY - We need a faster and easier to use gallery.

What else would you like to see or are any of the things I have mentioned not important to you? Games? Chatroom? Users can publish articles on the main site as well?
