1. Popups like other sites use when hovering on latest posts links so there is no truncation of questions .. or showing full question content? and ...
2. Increasing the Latest Posts displayed to 10 or 12?
Do you mean like putting your cursor on the latest post and it'll show the whole question? If so then I'd like that. Don't particularly want more latest posts though but not dead against it either :c)
I quite like No.1 - a poster earlier was including a note about quiz closing dates but you couldn't see it in LP so you could have clicked on it, not realising that it was a long-away closing date.
The site only looks optimized for a 4:3 display .. I'm not sure ..
I think there could be more room if it were changed .. being as tho most use a different display res. these days.
There is also a way of displaying (on hover popup) the latest post in each of the Topics on the left ..
That would be good to hover over .. and see latest post inside them, without expanding all the time .. or hoping to see in the latest posts list.
I do like the idea of .. hovering over a question and it showing it in full content. I think the Avatar/Gravatar needs resolving first. My Christmas cracker was a test and is still there... she wasn't supposed to be until Dec 5th.
