This feature would be handy, would let us know what we have missed etc.

yeah, also something to show which threads you've posted in, like on PSU there was the little icon with the black circle in it . . .

Good idea Andy.

In general, a kind of search-function for the forums would be nice.
Or did I just oversee it?

What software does this forum run on?

Hmm, thats a point, cos vBulletin seemed to have some features that were worth it

I custom coded this entire forum by scratch PHP and MySQL( +red bull/rockstar ).

I could give you a list of forum software that I checked out thoroughly: vBulletin, phpBB, bbPress, Vanilla, miniBB, ice etc etc. I've used all of them at one stage or another. And what I decided was to be able to build custom features into Autemo now and in the future, I'd have to build it all from the ground up from the start.

So what you are using here is truely one of a kind, and custom built.

Also just as a sidenote, those 'pre-built' forum softwares are quite code heavy (well except for miniBB which was pretty streamlined though)

or SMF, that's also pretty awesome.

I appreciate your work on the forum system
(even though it feels a bit clumsy, but i guess there's always room for improvement )

Hehe thanks mate, just let me know what feels clumsy and I'll do my best to improve it =)
