So, since it seems we can no longer posts things in the main Echo Bazaar forum, only in the subsections, I'm posting this here. I'd appreciate it if links could show up as a different color to differentiate themselves from normal text? I've had issues in the past noticing that there even is a link to click in the first place.

Forum improvements are on our list, but below a lot of other things at the moment (like more new content). Woogawoman's feedback forum thread would be an excellent place to collate suggestions. Like MaurnaFrost said, some will be possible and some probably won't, but if they're all in one place it makes them easier to track, assess and implement.
A couple of other points that were raised:
- We already can do stickies - there's already a number of sticky threads. If you think a thread is a candidate for stickification (IT'S A WORD!) talk to Alys Indigo.
- Links looking like normal text is infuriating, I know. I've been underlining them, which at least makes them a bit more obvious.
- We're totally happy with people starting discussion threads on new content releases, but we'd rather they were in the Bazaar to keep the Announcement forum and threads themselves uncluttered. Remember that bugs reports should go to ebbugs@failbettergames.com and suggestions to the feedback forum, though, or it's easy for us to miss them.

I kinda like the fact that you can pothole things into your post and it would not be obvious at first glance, you can put easter-eggs in your own forum posts. Though I completely agree with the smileys, we could just use generic ones if noone wants to create a smiley-set around the Exceptional Hat (though I'd really like to see one, as a creative excercise if nothing else...)

Another random suggestion. I pretty much live by the "unread topics" view. It would make it a lot easier to find the things I'm interested in if it showed the forum/subforum the post is from.
For example, I find it confusing to have Night Circus posts mixed in with the EBZ ones, without any kind of identifier. And it would be nice to be able to distinguish the in character posts from the general discussion. Et cetera.

I've created a new suggestion in the feedback forum around additional features for this site. Assuming it passes moderation, it will be here: http://feedback.echobazaar.failbettergames.com/forums/25389-suggestions/suggestions/2613085-modernize-the-official-forums if folks want to add votes to it. Feel free to comment with additional requested features.
It's possible that all but, er two, of those suggestions is based on the forum package and they may have no control over that. Several posts are stickied so I know our lovely moderators do have that power. And they may decide to let the forum users create the discussion threads on announcements as that is what has occurred previously, although perhaps we could do better with our titling...

I greatly enjoy meeting delicious new friends and participating in deliciously exciting new adventures! Please feel free to drop a card to meet for dinner, exchange favors, give an interview, or any other activity that comes to mind. I DO particpate in exchanges requiring Fate, BUT you must contact me first; twitter, facebook, or here on the forums via PM.
Note: I am currently exchanging parcels with a large number of dear friends and my parcel opportunities are rare. I am always willing to exchange but your rate of return may be rather slow. To find others to exchange with I recommend the Starveling list.

Discussion threads on announcements are certainly a good idea for keeping everyone's ideas and thoughts channelled into one place.
