The only Features I'd like to see are a tutorial and a password rules change.
It'd be my guess that the majority of people coming to the forum (based on the high view counts and very low forum membership) are doing exactly what I almost did when I first came across the forum.
- That is get here and decide if I want to register to yet another site with yet another password to keep track of. Normally I would (at this point decide to uninstall the program, move on, find another program that had readme files or something like that. But looking at the program I saw too much potential to turn back and decided I'd use my common password that I use for everything that doesn't contain personal info or a credit card (makes remembering passwords for the thousands of sites that required me to register easier).
When I got to the registration process I had to fill out 3 different times (each one me thinking maybe I should just turn away, uninstall and move on).
1st time error- password needs to be 8 characters long (that already rules out my common use password)
2nd time error- password needs to contain numbers or special characters.
3rd time error- password needs to contain some capitalization.
It got very frustrating along with a more and more complicated password to remember (and for such a low level security threat, in other words no personal info or credit cards, it seemed completely unnecessary).
I also didn't see any of these requirements/specifications for the password on the registration page and each time it'd come back with a new error (instead of a compiled error specifying all the problems with my password choice.
I think if these two things were taken care of usage of the program and registration for the forums would go up.
