@Darbur972: I like your suggestions, especially about seeing who is online and the option to put some personal information under the avatar.
Best regards,

hi ,
birthdays would be a nice add on also
there could a page where the people who posted today would be shown and maybe the new members who have done like ten posts , those would be the people who stay
facebook , twitter , etc should also be included , and aim , live messenger , all ofcourse if the user wants them in short , all that a normal fora has these days , ...
as for abuse i dont think anyone will be stupid enough to use a pm for not so nice things , since a pm can be forwarded at ones to a mod or owner , ...
as for the upload files , yes why not , lets say a picture , or a zip file , or a simple download program . lets say with a max of 5 mb to start with or a pic with max 2 mb
the biggest problem will be the forum engine , i think an entire new one will be needed , and microsoft needs to upgrade the servers . i would also make sure there are several servers in other countries , countries with loads of users around would get its own server , all should be in synchro with each other so a user in japan for example would be able to post just as fast and see what a user in france has posted , ...
the investment will be payed back by itself in two ways , the first would the pub you see now on the microsoft sites , that small window on the left , all microsoft products a lot of people do not know about , the second would be the help capability for all the products , at the same time the newsgroups would stop and be merged with this fora , that means more staff that comes free to work on the expanding fora here (!) also the servers and other hardware , and last but not least a section regarding off topic shouldbe made ,
most people stay with one or two fora . in the ot topic for example they could make publicity about microsoft games , ....
the options and the advance could be great and will benefit everyone , from the users to the mods and owners , ....
and there could be help mods , just to move the threads or the posts , to close older threads that are no longer needed , to organise the entire forum or a section or part
now all that is needed is the courage to change , only a few have the power to do it , ...
have a nice day
