Suggested improvements to this site

I brainstorm with nothing but net praise and admiration for this site. By FAR it blows away the discussion boards and blogs at DenverPost and other print papers online. It’s better than any other political blog focused on Colorado, of which I am aware. There may be others.

But I think some minor improvements could be made.

In no particular order

– when a diary and it’s comments get long, it’s hard to find just the new comments. there should be a way to either skip just to the new ones, or to make the red “new” searchable by my browser

– It would be great to post audio sometimes.

– In addition to the Bold, Italic and Quote, it would be nice to have buttons for underline and hyperlink.

– chat function for members signed on might be good, only if the recipient could opt out or block some users

– the “search” should allow multiple screens: Eg, search comments by MADCO, made in September 2009, including text Lieberman

– Threads should close at some defined point. Every now and then I follow something into the past and see comments made weeks after the original thread was energized  Start it over man, not way back in the archive

– likewise polls

– sig lines shouldn’t change all the way back to forever

–
