Personally, I think your concern of "breaking the chronological order" is horsepucky. It would be easier to find still-active threads if the ones with replies since your last visit to the site were shown at the top of the forum. The biggest watse of time on the site right now is having to scroll page-after-page just to find a thread you were participating in. PhpBB can do it. Of course, the site would have to maintain a cookie ON THE SITE so that when you move from your home machine to your work machine, the site wouldn't lose your place.

I don't like phpBB and those flat forums.
CP provide a much inovative and interresting way of talking with each others...
having a summary of the messages marked "new" at a given moment would have permitted to jump to a particular thread without browsing tons of thread to find out which one has been replied

Full threading and most recent post first are not mutually impossible. Dejanews was able to do this back in the late 90's. The fact that so almost no current forum software is capable of this blows my mind. All that's needed is to add a combo box to "sort by date of first post in thread" or "sort by date of most recent post in thread".

There's nothing innovative about CP's forums. Beyond that, "innovative" doesn't always mean (and almost never means) "user-friendly".

John's been asking for this feature for ages now. If he couldn't get Chris to do it, I doubt if anyone else can

I just noticed that, once in a while (like tonight), the green bar that contains links to other parts of the site runs off the right side of the screen. The rest of the page resizes cleanly to my screen boundaries, but the Lounge link and part of the StoreFront link are off screen. Weird.

For me too. All pages show only upto partial 'StoreFront' and a horizontal scrollbar appears.

Chris just hasn't gotten around to fixing it yet.

Could we have a "subscribe to thread" button so that we can be notified anytime something happens in the thread (new post)?
Would this strain the servers too much?

This is way up on the suggestions list (and discussed a lot) but hasn't yet been implemented because of the load it would cause. What we need is a dedicated server to search and mail out forum subscription notifications. And the code to go with it. And a little more bandwidth
It'll definitely happen though, but unfortunately I don't know when. Soonish

Could we have a new forum for DirectX? There are very few 'up to date' articles on CP relating to the newer versions of the SDK and even fewer relating to Direct3D as opposed to DirectDraw. Also I have not found many good DirectX forums on the internet. I believe this would keep in with the microsoft centricity of the site.

Would it be more benificial to have a general DirectX / OpenGL / GDI+ forum? I don't want to splinter the forums too much...
