Suggestions for the site...

[Trana]

We have been working on some new features for the site which will be released soon. Now is a good time to add/fix anything that you think needs improvement.

Manhattan Reefs is an open community so the suggestions of our members are vital to improving the site.

If there is something you'd like to see, post a comment here!

Sometime the graffiti box doesnt show me everything thats posted ,kinda cuts off the word on the right side

 

[alrha]

how about a link back to the home page on the bottom of a thread (to avoid having to scroll all the way up)? - i know i'm lazy.

 

[masterswimmer]

How about the ability to leave the additional emoticons box open. Everytime I use it and then submit reply, the emotes closes. Just very inconvenient having to reopen it for each reply. :biggrin:

Thanks for listening. Now what do I owe you for this session doc? :lol2:
