I agree that current state of the forum is not up to scratch.
After the altera documentation the forum was the most invaluable resource available for problems that didnt require a SR. The community is going to suffer without some serious improvements.
The problems with the forum are compounded when you run into stupid issues like the text editor in the reply window not showing text as highlighted when you select it!!! (using firefox 61.0.1 (64-bit) on w7 64bit)
Other improvements I can see
1. the enter code window could have line numbers, when its posted line numbers are added but why not have them in enter code window.
2. everything @corestar said!!!
