 | I thought the forum could use some advanced features... - tags Why not add a tag function to posts (like blog entries) so that they are more readily indexed and searchable? - feed Providing feeds like rss or atom for forum posts, comments, even user stats etc will make keeping track of things much much easier! Personally I find coming back to find updates and new interesting thread a pain especially when I don't have the luxury of time to do that. - quote I notice posts here are usually short and hence easy to type any quote...but still a 'quote' function would be sweet. - and what about a live chatroom? given the amount of members and guests online at any time, i think it'd be cool to give everyone a chance to interact in real time. - i'll think of more..please feel free to add on stuff~ |

| - edit once a post is submitted there's no 'edit' function for the author--i thought that's a little inconvenient.. - number of threads/posts shown on one page ...a little on the low side--at least you can give the reader a choice, 10 or 20 or 50 or 100 like google search. Having to continually click on next page link is kinda clumsy. |

| - rich text? i advocate none of the excesses, maybe just simple stuff like bold, italicize and underline would be pretty nice. - map/places i've been to? I don't know how to best to put this, but the guys over at www.douban.com do a very impressive job of putting up an interactive map thingie...an example would be http://www.douban.com/ |

| - allow basic html adding on to last point, obviously it's more user friendly to make hypertext appear as clickable links..not like I'll have to manually copy and paste stuff like http://www.TCG.com into my address bar and press enter.. |

| Siva I have been trying to find information while travelling. Forum posts are not too difficult but often result in too many.... so I would like to see a second level search, or a more advanced first search. (It seems that two words only get a hit if they are consecutive). But there does not seem to be a search facilty on cities or on travel tips etc. So if I look up Chongcing I get a very long list of articles and posts. What I wanted was budget accommodation - a search on these words...not necessarily as consecutive words would be great. If the previous contributor who suggested tags, means the posting person must add the tags, I don't see much value in this, most postors will not apply them, many do not know what they are. Even further, there should definitely NOT be any HTML functionality - HTML is not a user function, it is technical functionality (and I state this as an ex business analyst who frequently represented business users against the excesses of the techies!). |

| Siva. I am pleased to see the r4ecent changes to Forums. I see though that there is still no way of searching travel tips. I have placed some in there but they are of little value as there is no way (that I can see) or searching for them. Are you planning to add this? If not I won't bother adding any more because nobody is going to go through many screens hoping to find something useful to their needs. Cheers, Paul |

| Yes,Thank you Paul, we are now considering to add search box not only in Travel Tips, but also in Travel Reviews and Photo Albums. It just needs time. : ) |

| Ok Siva, thanks. If it's coming that's cool :) When I next get some clear time on the net, probably 6 weeks away when the new term starts, I'l add a few more . |
