That sounds great. One thing is that I would like more options for messages. Links work most of the time, but I have had one that just showed up as the address. It would be great to be able to link a word(s) like I can do when posting comments to reviews Just to be more user friendly, plus it would look sleeker. The option to edit past posts would be great too. In case someone spelled something wrong, or posted some incorrect info, they could just go back and edit their original post.

I really think having a section on the public profile with something like "see my contributions” or "my posts" would be pretty great. For example if I read one of "random reviewer" reviews and think, "wow! she knows her stuff!" I could just go to her profile and click on a link with abbreviated posts and links to the forum thread where it was posted. That way I could go through and read all of her different advice. This would be particularly great for people who followed someone over from their blog. It would also be useful to have a section under the contributor tab to manage and edit posts. If I started a thread, it would be really helpful to have that thread listed in the contributors area and have an updated link on it that would show if there were new posts in that thread. Something like “0 new comments” below the thread title would be fine. For something like that, emailed alerts would probably just junk up a persons inbox really badly. An option for turning emailed alerts on or off would still be great though.

I am hoping that the forums pick up more volume. There are more people being active in here, but I can see it increasing. I think this is a great feature that eden has over “other” sites.
