For example, I would like to see the search functions extended. Going back six months is not enough. It would be nice if I could start at a point a year ago in a thread, say, and then search back six months from that point.

Agreed. Searching to the beginning of a thread would be a big plus...and enhanced search capability icing on the cake.

Amen to that one. Who says relevant information has happened only within the last 120 days! I find this a major flaw with SI. What there should be is the ability to pick a date range and go back as far in time as you like.

They should also be working on improving navigation among the messages. View 10 is a nice start but its darn irritating when you want to reply to a message and you have to click to the message first. Why only 10? I just tried browsemaster for the first time and find it far superior to the SI beta. Its pretty simple conceptually too.

I concur. New features should be focussed on messaging operations since that's why everyone comes here. Richer content, advanced search features, maybe even a live chat forum for each thread ??
