User Interface
I noticed that more people than expected are posting in these forums without filling in the Subject field.

Do you think you have a small user interface problem here -- maybe some users don't see the Subject field?

Perhaps you could make it more prominent, or have an admin option to force users to complete the Subject field.

Im not quite sure how you can miss the Suject field unless you are facing the other way lol

I think it is more likely laziness.

There is a user interface problem. The system doesn't force you to have a subject line when starting a topic, in addition, it does sort of dissapear.

Laziness?

User interface isn't the same as not forcing a subject line.

User interface is to do with design and layout. YoYoYoYo was saying the the subject text field wasn't easy to see which IMO it is.

Forcing a subject line would be a better option than altering the design.

The "coding" buttons are really small...it would be better to enlarge
them...

I think Eliot means markup.

Maybe instead of b i u

.....you could do:

bold italic underline

indecipherable.

All of them, or just those three (b, u, i)?

Mainly the BOLD, UNDERLINE and ITALICIZE.

But all the other buttons could be bigger, IMHO.
