I'm sure this has come up in the past, and I'm sure some ideas were involved amongst yourselves... but why wasn't there anything done about it?!

The three links at the top of page, leading to the different forums, is all but self-explanatory. Shouldn't there be a forum-menu when click on "message board" (no 's', while there are more than one - to contribute to the self-explanatory issue)?! And what about an advanced search option? Shouldn't one of the biggest skinning web sites have a nice WYSIWYG editor for the forum messages, at least for us IE users?

These message boards could be a whole lot more active and rich with messages and visitors if they were presented and handled properly... with all due respect these forums look patched together just to fill a blank. So I ask again... why wasn't there anything done about it?
