I just happened to notice a few things that I found rather odd, mainly with mod/admin options in threads. Nothing too complicated, just some minor tweaks.

1) When posting a thread there are options to have it initially closed and/or stickied. When replying, however, only the 'close' option appears. I haven't exactly made a lot of stickies, but when I do, it's usually a thread someone else posted, and I figured it'd be handy to have this option as well. (It's not really important, no, but as long as we have close there, we may as well have sticky too.)

2) Confirmation prompts on the quick thread options. If these were in place I probably wouldn't have accidentally un-stuck a thread instead of re-opening it to reply. (Sure, I knew enough to hit Back, copy the URL, and change '0' to '1', but not everyone does, and old stickies can end up waaaaay down in the list when un-stuck.) Fortunately this was easy to undo, but suppose I'd accidentally clicked 'trash' instead...

3) When viewing a closed thread, the Quote/Edit options should still appear for mods/admins, and maybe the 'new reply' button as well (though perhaps with some text to indicate that the thread is closed). The way it is, the thread has to be re-opened to edit a post or reply, and then closed again, which not only takes longer but opens up the potential for someone else to post there while you're typing.

4) Some indication of a person's layout being blocked, such as text next to the Quote/Edit/etc links. (Maybe even a Block/Unblock layout link.) It can be confusing when someone mentions their layout and you can't see it because you blocked it a while back, especially if they've made a new one since then.

5) A 'Mark this forum read' checkbox next to the forum jump selector. It's not much use being able to jump straight to another forum if you have to go back and click 'Mark Forum Read' anyway.

All good suggestions except 4, imo. I mean, you can usually figure it out from context, and unless the site that hosts their images / css is down, there shouldn't be a whole lot of confusion, should there? And there isn't any easy way of discerning whether their site is down.

Those all make good sense to me. I am not a fan of the fourth one either but yeah... Anyways those sound like some good modifications.

Actually I do like the fourth one. Having a link right next to the post to block or unblock the layout would be massively handy. As it is, when I come across an annoying layout, I gotta open their profile in a new tab, block it there, then if it's really bugging me reload the thread in the other tab. Ideally, with such a link in the actual thread, it could even end up redirecting back to the post you clicked it on, since they all have anchors and everything.

On #3, you can still edit or quote. You just need to do it in a person's profile and find the post in particular. Something that wasn't fixed.
