We hope you like our new forums -- please let us know here if you have any problems, suggestions for new features or even (shock, horror), praise!

Well, I'm biased, but I like the avatars...

So far one change id like to see is a reply box below the posts, like on this sailing forum i use, http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/forum/ i find it useful as sometimes you want to reply to many peoples previous posts in one, and it is useful to have them open on the same page so you can structure it properly if your making an argument, or on a simpler level just want to remember the name of someone who you agreed with when you dont necessarily want to quote.

Thanks for your feedback Kiddle. I can't promise anything right now because our tech guys shout at me if I promise stuff, but I'll definitely look into it.

Very nice forum, good job guys smile

Only niggles are that it would be good to see a desktop (maybe merge with laptop) + games console section as you do review these things after all.

I like the forums and im sure there will be plenty of entertaining topics once more people visit the forums. I particularly like how it has been integrated into the main site and not just linked to an invision board type solution. The editorial staff seem friendly and well involved.

I would consider putting some information about the latest topic created or updated beneath the name of each forum on the top level page. For example, a visitor might not always read the laptops or digital cameras forums because of time or interests, but might on occasion see something of interest to them that they would not have gone looking for or alternatively see a request for help about something they can answer.

Also, any chance of some smilies? =)

Keep up the good work

All I can say is finally! I must admit that most of the time I have went to cnet.com simply because CNET didnt have a UK based forum. It'g so good to see cnet.co.uk growing up!
