Ok, here's another one. I noticed that each reply to a reply gets a new "RE:" at the front, so that deep nodes are named "RE: RE: RE: Re: something". I think it would be better if, in the tradition of email, a new Re: was not added if one is already there. Just to make things more readable.
Although it does serve a purpose: when you see nodes in Newest nodes, for example, you can get an idea of how deep in the discussion each node is from the number of Re's it has. This could be done with having a single Re: followed by a number in parenthesis indicating its depth. So the first reply gets "Re: something", a reply to that gets "Re(1): something", etc. Just a thought.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
