[Les Bessant]

A few things, most of which have probably been mentioned before, but  
which could really do with some TLC:

1. Deleting posts from the Akismet queue: expected behaviour is for  
the page to refresh with the deleted post gone. Actual behaviour often  
involves being taken to the forum where the post was entered. Not  
good, and gets frustrating after a while.

2. Editing posts from the Akismet queue: expected behaviour is to get  
an edit box, the ability to save the post and then "unspam" it. Actual  
behaviour is to get an edit box, save changes, get a green message  
page telling you the topic is not found. Returning to the Akismet  
queue shows the changes are not saved. Work around would seem to be to  
"unspam" then edit, but that could lead to severe borkage if posts  
contain messy code.

3. While the new look to the forums is a great improvement, we have  
lost some useful visual cues. Spammed messages used to have a  
different colour background, which made it much easier to pick them  
out. Restoring this for mods would be a help.
