First of all a thank you to the SkyPoker Boffins for allowing me to be one of the select few to give this a trial run. You've asked us to try it out so it can be fine-tuned before everyone can use it and to do that you need our feedback - luckily for you you've managed to pick one of the biggest moaners and critiques on the site!

I've been using the Forums for all of 5 mins and already picked up on a few things:

Underneath each post it says "Reply to this post" amongst other things. To reply to the post the user can simply use the reply form given directly underneath - which is good - but that reply to post button acts more as a Quote feature than anything else, so it should be described as such IMO.

You may notice that this is basically one massive block of text. This isn't me being careless, I have tried to input line breaks by using the standard method of pressing enter but the field entry box seems to ignore it, and since html is presumably not allowed I wondered if it is actually possible to create line breaks or not? Also, when you use a smiley face it appears to put that on a different line than the body of text it was meant to be with.

Another super picky thing here - but on the left where it says our posting details the stats haven't been seperated properly, i.e on one line it'll say "Posts: 2 First:" and then on the following line it would say what the date of your first post was.

Finally (albeit I imagine for the time being), if you want people to discuss strategy on here we might need images of the suits for better clarity.     EDIT: Also in trying to make this post I tried using the bullet point feature but that doesn't seem to work properly either, it only wants to insert bullet points at the top of the post and that's no good when I want to introduce the post before giving a list. Thankfully these things i've noticed all just seem to be teething problems so when they get sorted I look forward to having a lot of fun contributing on the forums.
