I have a couple of thoughts regarding the 'favorite forums' section.

1) Would it be possible to move the forums up and down depending of if they have new posts or not..?

and/or

2) What about a number next to the forum name that would break up where the new posts are from ie:
There are 52 new posts
Evo 4g [5]
Evo 4g Root [47]
Private Chat with Staff >> no new posts, at bottom

Something like that? Just thinking out loud here... any opinions?
 
I had a new idea, and didn't think this sub-forum needed two posts by me....

I don't know about anyone else, but I constantly use the 'Quick Reply' option to reply to threads, and I was thinking there really isn't a good way to 'Quote' someone using that. So what if there was a little quote button up near the heading of the post (located near the permalink) that would just add the quote detail to the clipboard?

Is that even possible? I know in the past when I used some image uploading sites there was a 'copy to clipboard' feature that you just had to click either a 'COPY' button or in the url.... Just wondering if that is possible here.... or if it would be useful for anyone besides me...

(also what does the "Quote message in reply?" do, I can not seem to check it, and definitely don't know the proper time to do so. ;))

Push the button that looks like a NotePad next to the thanks button in someone's post, then check the "quote message in reply" box to quote their whole post, and you can do that from Quick Reply. (I just did)

That's the way I've always done it. I could never get the actual quote button to work for me, never knew you had to go advanced to use it. I wish there was a sticky thread that showed how to use all of the functions of the forum, something like "How to navigate Android Forums" or "How to get the most out of Android Forums". Something like that would be really useful. Would take a lot of work to put together, though. Even just an Android Forums FAQ would come in handy, especially for new members.

Any use? It's pretty basic and could probably do with an update, I'll see what else it needs at some point over the week if you want?
