This website needs to be redesigned.

I appreciate the opportunity to vote on the "star" value of a post, but I am at a loss as to what is being done with those values.

Secondly, I sometime fail to even make a choice.

Thirdly,  there are a lot of very good messages that really deserve more discussion and analysis that are simply being loss due to the simple volume of the messages posted.

I suggest, simply as a way to get a good discussion started on how to better this forum, we should make voting in the "star" value function mandatory, if that is possible?

Secondly, a linear presentation would probably be more helpful in displaying all of the threads and their posts, with the "first post -- last post" option being given to the reader.

Lastly, how about putting the  "star" value function on each post of each threads as well? The post with the higher value, is placed immediately below the title thread.

Let's get some other suggestions and make this site move; how about it?

While I read your Adobe site, may I suggest you familiarize yourself with a drual, "open source" forum platform? Perhapse we can work together to move this forum up to the next level?

Drupal

I've done a lot of work with Drupal - let me know if you need a hand.  (First thing to be done - turning off TinyMCE editor and Input Forum on comment threads.) 

I don't have experience in Drupal.

But I did participate in the Unity08 web experience, which was Drupal. It did have a format that was more interactive than this Adobe format. So I was just wondering if you guys have looked at any Drupal options.

I mean, let's be frank, this site must have just a few innovations that will differiniate itself from the rest of the pack.

Have you looked over Adobe's products?  Are there any other forum upgrades available?
