More prizes shipped to my place would make my r2r experience better.

On a serious note, I hate having to log in to use the search function. Sometimes I am on a different computer and just need to look something up real fast. Having to log in can be a pain for such a short period of use. I understand that there is a reason why the search function is set up this way, but it is a pain sometimes.

Also, there are many abbreviations new users and some old users may not know. Can you set up a mod where if you scroll over an abbreviation and have a little info window pop up with what the abbreviation means.

^^^ The abbreviation thing would be really cool for new users. I agree!!

Not sure if this is already integrated into the forum or if it's even possible...but it would be nice if there were a third area on the home page that shows new posts, this third area will show new posts by users we are tracking.

So:
New post in the general forums
New post in the sponsor fourms
New posts by people we're tracking

Like if I want to track posts by Reef Raft I could customize the third area to show new posts by Reef Raft. That way I never miss them.

maybe a way to auto refresh real time post insteasd of pressing refresh

R2R's own android app. Also possibly being able to search for certain things like 125 gallon. The search only allows allows gallons, not numbers. Just my .02

Disscusion of the day / week thread.

I don't know if this is already a function, but a "hot topics" link would be useful. It would list the most popular threads for a certain time period. That way if you're away from the forum for a day or two you could jump to the most interesting content without missing anything.

Tell me how to keep my screen at the right size. Everytime I haunt the site I have to hit f12 and change the settings so the screen is the appropriate size...

R2R Android/Iphone app would be sweet. I hate browsing on my phone as it currently is.

If you update Internet Explorer to IE9, this problem is alleviated. Also, other browsers like Firefox & Google Chrome don't seem to have this issue.

I agree with the previous poster. I am using IE8 becuase some of the applications I use need it. This is a great forum, and by far my favorite, but it is also the only forum I have trouble viewing with my current browser.

I just subscribe to the forums that I wish to follow and then hit settings and it will show you that forum and if there are new posts.

Great idea!

An app would be really nice to have. It would also be nice if the app would have push notifications for when people message you or when someone posts on a thread you are following.
