I also agree that the long threads are a hinderance. For example, I tried to organize a tournament this past weekend. It was very difficult because of the long threads and there was one long time, very good player who intentionally kept bumping the long threads intentionally to push my thread off the page. Seriously, he would write *bump* 3 threads ahead of mine repeatedly! Weird. If you want you could look and find out who it was. I called him on it then he bumped mine once.

Dear fellow players,

I've recently noticed a tendency of threads becoming very long, sometimes requesting the reader to skip a few pages before getting to a subject that would interest him/her.
A simple way to improve forum navigation would be to enable an expand/conceal button in front of each new thread...
Of course, since I'm not a web designer, I have no idea if this is easy to implement or not...
May be to be put on a low priority wish list?

Have a nice gaming time



I find that annoying as well. It is worse when somebody dig up ancient threads from nearly 1 year+ ago and bump them up. When don't they start a new thread and provide a link to these old threads instead. However if these long threads are relevant to Current Gaming Issues on YouPlayIt and not the political debates of late; I don't have too much issue with that.

Another annoyance that appears occasionally is some inactive user(s) return after a long period of absence. He/she decide to reply to some ancient forum threads with simple words like "I agree.". In my opinion, if the thread is not in the top 3 +/- pages; it is no longer relevant to current affairs. Don't dig them up please. Leave it for somebody else references instead.
