Weekends

Looking at what you ask or require is a bit unrealistic? Why isnt this testing available on weekends? It would be nicer if you could concider the time and emotional effort and the effect that this has on people.

Feedback

Just a suggestions, some forums send say a daily email with notifications, collating all replies/comments your posts have received. Individual emails could get a bit hectic for regular users. It looks good overall though!
