The two biggest concerns is the Following feature (you are publicly taking that on) and the bad Trending/Latest feature. In that regard, having it so recently replied to threads go to the top is a must. Not sure which should be changed of those, but this is a clear must.

If both issues are addressed, I'd be happier with it. Never like it or anything, but would be better able to work with it. Making the forum palatable.

I wont bother pushing for wikitext being usable and all that. It isn't going to happen for "reasons" which I'm not sold on, but I just want the forum usable overall. I'm sure in 4 years a different tech team will do this again to the forum feature as it will be declared again not good, but whatever.
