  Spell check for poor spellers like me
  The inital design is pretty small for the available space on most laptops and like many sites I had to make it larger to be a comfortable read. Why are so many sites designed for people who think 4pt (or less) in a san serif font is legible. The reason all major newspapers use seriffed fonts (normally in a minimum of 10pt) is that they increase comprehension and readability (they have been measuring this for over 50 years).

  If I were using Explorer I could force a larger font but what it makes me reflect on is that most web designers seem to forget any of the 'lessons' of traditional print design but particularly seem to ignore the needs of anyone over 40 (the wealthiest and fastest growing web users in most 1st world countries).

  Finally how about a Help section? For example what is Add Tag under the YOUR TAGS section on the right? I have no idea and yes I am over 40.

  I think it would be good to more clearly distinguish who started a topic. They are more likely to want to discuss it.

  Also, autocomplete against existing tags when adding new tags to a topic would help keep the tag cloud more dense (creating richer tags) while still allowing people to introduce diversity.

  I would like...

  Space for some personal profiling
  A personal tag cloud
  Somewhere/way to share stuff (links etc)

  New thoughts on a further drive by: could I have the texting option on Skype as an alternative to calling/call requesting - I use it a lot and because it's asymmetric I find it useful.

  I'd also be interested in dated additions as to when people added their ha'pennyworth to the conversation. Not quite sure why; I guess because it gives me a sense of timeliness.

  A large amount of skepticism is always healthy when considering any feature requests, otherwise you end up with a confusing, bloated mess of incoherent functionality.
