I have two suggestions that might prove to be nice additions to an upcoming version of the forums:

1- add id attributes to checkboxes and radio buttons, and label tags to the text belonging to the checkboxes and radio buttons. This would give something like:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2"><input name="Sig" id="sig" type="checkbox" value="yes" checked><label for="sig">Check here to include your profile signature.</label><br /></font>
When this is done, you can click on the text to check/uncheck a checkbox or set a radio button.
I know it's not important and a real feature addition, but it's nice. I kind of expect it on forms after having filled out some surveys where they added this. I've added this to the forms on rakkoon.com in case you want to see how it works.

2- show the topic subject in the preview window when a new topic is being created or edited. Again a small change, but it's something I'd like to see.

(1) Windows OS works like that as well (most of the time). You can click the text to make checkbox and radio button selection.

It's a nice little feature. I just went to a friend's MSN community (or group) and on the warning page for adult content they have done the same thing: click the text to check the box.

do you have an example of how you would like it to look? Where would the subject be placed?

The subject could be put so the header row says "Subject - Message Preview" instead of just "Message Preview". That way when a reply is made, it won't be such a huge change from when you start a topic

Or it could be "Message Preview: Subject" too

Glad the ideas are being taken seriously though
