ideas for new look and functionality

I visit somersoft regularly and am used to the interface of their vbulletin software.
I imagine there are many like me. It is a cleaner look and easier to navigate.

I have never enjoyed the propertyinvesting interface, and when adverts were introduced towards the beginning of threads, I was so disgusted, I basically dropped out.

I see the forum is going through changes at the moment.
Coudl I suggest that it would be a smart strategy to emulate the look of SOmersoft. You would get a lot of their users coming here and vice versa. Both forums are valuable resources, and I think if both had the same functionality, they'd benefit each other rather then compete. Currently, it seems the look and functionality of pi.com is inferior.

I used to check out this forum and was annoyed that I could not see the posts without opening them so I gave up.   But, now I see this enhancement - which is great!  So, I will visit this forum more often.
