This. x 1,000. Every single time I open the site, I am directed to the stupid mobile skin. Let me turn it off once and for all.

Also - the search functionality leaves a lot to be desired. When I type search words into your search box I don't directly find what I seek. But when I type the same words into Google and site:flyertalk it appears more easily. That shouldn't occur.
On a lesser note a few more emojis and a like button would be nice. But if you enhanced the two things above I'd be pretty happy.
'Nuff said. Plus a 'thank you' button to cut down on all the polite 'thank you' posts, generally from new users. I know I did it when I was new as I thought it might be considered rude if I didn't thank those who took the time to help me. A 'thank you' button would show that I had read and appreciated the advice.

Tell them that specific details, such as whether the trip is on one or multiple tickets, specific date, are required to be able to receive good responses. And ask them to be sure that their thread title is meaningful ....<snip>
And this. Way, way too many one post wonders who missed a connection and the big, bad airline isn't helping them. Lots of great advice available but the OP is never heard from again to answer these questions. Or they want to fly to Australia in F next month and want someone to magically make award seats available with no info on origin, class, number of seats or what miles they have, plus what they have found themselves already.
Other than that, as far as the mods, I think they do a pretty good job. I haven't seen an excess of uber-anal moderating, nor have I seen a lot of stuff that is let go to the point of abuse or attack. This is a great site and it ain't broke, so let's not get carried away with fixing it.
