[wp-forums] Trying to summarise

 >>Search does not work the way anyone who doesn't know about it would
reasonably expect it to.  A search box on the forum page should search 
the forums, not lead to another search box with a message to the effect 
"what? You wanted to search the forums? You should have said!!".<<

I *totally* agree with this.

 >>I'm not convinced that "Hot tags" are particularly useful<<

Not so much with this.  I actually use the "hot tags" in the sidebar 
quite frequently.  However, you could do an alternative - maybe a 
dropdown box or something that tales up less space?

Just a thought :)
