[*] [b]Threaded view should not "bump" recently-responded-to threads to the top.[/b] The exact behavior is pending a vote, but I will work on a fix to this in the meantime so we have it in the bag. 
[i]Status: [color=orange]In progress...[/color] UPDATE: This mod is ready to go, I need to take the site offline for a few minutes to install it.  Expect to do so later tonight.[/i]

[*] [b]Re-enable Threaded View.[/b]
[i]Status: [color=orange]In progress...[/color] UPDATE: Threaded view is back on for individual topics.  Will keep an eye on it while I clean up whole-forum thread view.  Stay tuned.[/i]

[*] [b]Performance issues.[/b] Some page loads are slow.  This issue may resolve itself when the search index is done running in the background.  Will revisit when done. 
[i]Status: [color=orange]In progress...[/color] We have found some culprits, but there are others.  Looking into better cahching, etc. UPDATE: This appears to be getting better.  Won't call this "done" until I'm convinced, and we have threaded mode back.[/i]

[*] [b]Email field for guest posters.[/b]

[*] [b]Fix garbled characters on Links page, Diff Guide FAQ.[/b]
[i]Status: [color=red]Not started.[/color][/i]

[*] [b]Forum "pathway" breadcrumbs not working.[/b] The pathway still says "home" when viewing the forum, should say Home -> Forum. 
[i]Status: [color=red]Not started.[/color][/i]

[*] [b]Threaded links sometimes behave strangely.[/b] Occasionally (usually on old posts) the links to individual posts within a topic will display the wrong post when clicked. 
[i]Status: [color=red]Not started.[/color][/i]

[*] [b]Can't read private message body.[/b] Private messages have been disabled for now until I can track this one down.  Think I know what it is. 
[i]Status: [color=red]Not started.[/color][/i]

[*] [b]Forum "pathway" breadcrumbs not working.[/b] The pathway still says "home" when viewing the forum, should say Home -> Forum. 
[i]Status: [color=red]Not started.[/color][/i]

[*] [b]Non alphanumerics in usernames.[/b] Several users want characters in their usernames (like spaces, punctuation, etc.).  Need to investigate why this requirement is in place and implement change to work around it.  At that time I will open up user name switching for people to switch to their desired name. 
[i]Status: [color=red]Not started.[/color][/i]

[*] [b]Auto Resize Avatars[/b] Have already gotten several questions/requests for how to create avatars...  should probably just provide the auto-resize capability. 
[i]Status: [color=red]Not started.[/color][/i]

[i]Status: [color=red]Not started.[/color][/i]

[*] [b]Fonts too small.[/b] Legibility issues. 
[i]Status: [color=green]Done.[/color] I increased the font size (again).[/i]

[*] [b]Emoticons must die.[/b] There is a general disdain for those smiling bastards. 
[i]Status: [color=green]Done.[/color] Disabled emoticons (also due to overwhelming vote against them)[/i]

[*] [b]Redundant Menu Items.[/b]  There is a FAQ nav bar item that pertains to the forum and a FAQs item that pertains to the actual FAQs.  Need to clean this up.
[i]Status: [color=green]Done.[/color] Move the Forum menu bar to the bottom of the page (profile, etc.) and added the "Forum Search" to the top nav bar all the way on the right.[/i]

[*] [b]Move "Author" column close to "Topics" column on topic listing pages.[/b]  The complaint is that it's difficult to attribute an author to a post.
[i]Status: [color=green]Done.[/color] I appended the author info in flat view, and in the threaded view I'm starting to move to something that should look pretty familiar. NOTE: Thread view currently disabled until we can debug it.[/i]

[i]Status: [color=green]Done.[/color] Thanks to _z_ for helping out with this.  Let us (him) know if there are any more broken.[/i]

[i]Status: [color=green]Done.[/color] Please test.[/i]

[*] [b]Increase avatar size to 90x120.[/b] Makes posting pics of cars easier, etc.  See thread on this topic for examples.
[i]Status: [color=green]Done.[/color] Please test.[/i]

[*] [b]Reply button near spell check, clarify button arrangement.[/b]
[i]Status: [color=green]Done.[/color][/i]

[*] [b]More forums?[/b] The suggestion was made that the "General Discussion" forum is overloaded.  Should look at adding a few more.  This is a trivial change, but will be up to steve and the community. 
[i]Status: [color=green]Done.[/color] Moved older posts to "Archive" forum.  This should help some of the speed issues as well.[/i]

[*] [b]All Times GMT -8 hrs for some ppl.[/b] Should be GMT -7 for PDT.  Not sure why this is.  Can change in profile, but this is for people not logged in.
