Dear Ilija and the aC team -

I know you're most likely keeping busy with development on aC, but thought I should mention how difficult it can be to find things in the forums here.

I purchased aC last night and have been installing/setting it up today - there were a couple of things that came up and I tried browsing the forums for some quick community support etc. however I found it is almost impossible to find anything (which is a great shame, there's lots of good info and tips in here I'm sure). The following forum features would make your forums a lot easier to use and more functional:

- Search by Category (ie aC 1.0 or aC 0.7 or aC 1.0>Tips and Tricks etc) **to me this would be the most important first**
- Advanced search options (ie search by user etc)
- Ability to sort results (ie, show most recent posts first, sort by relevancy etc.)
- Ability to 'preview' your post before actually posting
- If you know a bit of code like [ b ], [ url=http.. [ /URL ] etc. (without spaces) users can present clearer posts (if they choose so) but there isn't any format options or info about the tags accepted etc.

I think if you're able to improve the forums with some of the above points it will make aC issues/questions that little bit easier to solve.

Might I suggest phpBB or vBulletin.

So did you actually create a new forum module for expression engine, or just theme the heck out of it? Either way, good job.

It is incredibly difficult tracking new posts - without a simply "New Posts" button
