Double posts happen quite regularly-- why not automatically combine the posts if made by the same person?

Will ponder this suggestion, thanks! With double post you mean if someone makes a comment, and then 10 minutes later adds another comment to the same thread, say after additional research, right?

Also, I know that the beauty of this forum is it's simplicity but I think having bold italics and underlines like in Google Chat using simple *asterixes* and _underscores_ would be cool.

Also I kinda made this comment because that's what the topic is about :)

Yeah, i remember seeing this on another forum and i was inspired. I'd imagine posts being stitched together with a break in between saying "added @ time/date"

Also, it'd be cool to be able to click to the bottom of a thread from the forum so that i don't have to scroll down long threads like the wave one =]

Actually you can: just click on the right-hand bit that says e.g. "9 minutes ago". It'll make you jump to the last comment immediately. I use it all the time...
