Dear mr. Massow,
first of all, thank you for taking the time to improve the website.
I must say that there are indeed still problems but hey, Rome wasn't build in one day!
In my opinion, it might be useful, like the section 'my questions' and 'sticky topics' to have a section alike to 'latest responses'. Which makes it easier for us to see which questions are currently 'live'.
Another possibility might be to give Melody, or maybe even a couple of us the ability to 'bump' questions to the top or towards a 'topics of interest' (which would be different from the sticky topics).
Perhaps a part with 'unanswered' questions might also do the trick, however I believe this will not work since not all answers are truely answers to the question (they might add or indicate something about the question)
I understand that you want to try this new Q&A style, and I think that most people who are active on the forum are willing to give it a try, however it is really a necessity to have something alike to the above solutions, because currently it is unworkable. Also I'm not sure how the other users feel about the new Q&A style but personally I must say that the old Q&A style was one of the reasons I really like this forum.
On to another thing...
Would it be possible to give Melody some kind of poweruser rights? Which will help him to redo the sticky topics (since I'm missing a couple and eg. the logic's puzzle probably should be replaced with the general puzzle topic). Also it might genuinly improve the forum to have him be able to delete posts which would censor the forum from language-abuse and other unwanted posts.
I think it's great that many improvements have been made to the forum (especially LaTex even though it is still in the construction phase) !
I'm very happy that we can now make this forum even better than it already was!
