Too many formatting options (italic and bold should do it), avatars, sigs etc.

As text is more pleasant to read in proportional fonts, and code in monospaced fonts, I think a "code" formatting option is important to have. Some kind of TeX-based math markup could also be a useful addition, given Haskell's ties to formal computer science. Max Strini -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The professional email service
