Do you mean the buttons at the bottom of a post (I don't see icons)? If so, then yes, I use them. A plus (+) shows who has "thanked" a post.

3) Because of this, a typical question get n-teen duplicated answers. Who has the time to scroll AND page to check to see if a post is just something that others have said?

I would say it should be incumbent on the reader to take the time to scroll AND page to see what others have said. If you aren't willing to read what others have written then why do you expect others to read what you are about to write?

5) Eliminate paging. It is just too slow.

I find paging faster than scrolling to the bottom of 72 replies.

6) Inhibit quoting. If someone really wants to quote something, it should be intentional, not accidental. Excessive quoting further reduces the information density.
|
Quoting is optional. If added by mistake, the quote block can easily be deleted before posting. ToTV already reduces excessive quoting by including only the post being quoted and not any previously quoted text. Better user education or less laziness would be a better solution than removing a valuable feature.

7) Hyperlinking would work more easily if it worked like other applications like GMail, or if it had two boxes, one for the url and one for the text.

I don't understand this at all. You highlight the text to be displayed as a link, press the icon to Insert a link (blue globe with a chain), then enter the URL into the box. As far as I can tell, this *IS* one of the two ways you add a link in gmail.
