My worry about a revamp would be the potential loss of previous posts and threads. There are many I like to revisit for information/enjoyment.

Improved on the search function to bring up better results when looking for previous topics.
Ability to post pictures more easily rather than having to use sites like postimages.org
Crackdowns on the spam accounts when they invade.

The like (and potential dislike) buttons tend to get abused at boards, to downplay posts and opinions certain users don't like, as a form of unspoken attack. Considering we can't keep certain members here right now from calling tehri fellow members racists, women haters, and more, I just don't see how we can have nice things like a Like button.

Automatically delete profanity! I never see any other forum which routinely tolerates the use of bad language.

Search function improvements:
Other than just keeping it active more often, two improvements in its operation would be to:
- Bring back the ability to search just TOPICS rather than only posts. Currently, the search function just searches posts, even when the TOPICS button is selected
- Have the ability to find the search term within the thread, once the thread is identified by the search engine. Now, for very long threads, the only way to find the posts that contain the search term is to manually go to each page individually and search for the term on that page. We have a few threads with hundreds of pages.

So I need to know...what is it people want?
Improvements that are specific and limited are preferred. Big changes or add-ons are unlikely at this time.
Please summarize here.
Thanks!

Another forum I used to post at regularly, years ago started a paid member service and would offer certain posting functions to paid members, like colored text. Maybe FSM paid subscribers can get special posting functions, to entice paid membership. Just a thought.

The hyper link would mean having to have the thread pre-load images first, 'cause often in forums I have found images are not pre loaded first, so the hyper link jumps to the post in question ,and if the thread is image and/or video heavy, the images and/or videos then load, pushing the user away from the post they clicked on a jump to hyperlink to get to, defeating the entire purpose.
