Discussion section layout and usability

Discussions are great, but when you have many discussions on the page, it gets a little hard to work with. Visually, it can be hard to see where a discussion ends and a new begins. The font size for discussion titles is so close to the same used for body text. This could really be as simple as making the titles of each discussion appear in a much larger size. That way you could scan down the page more quickly and easily see where new discussions start.

Additionally, seeing the whole message of each discussion without display options is not a good idea in my opinion - especially when those creating discussions that are several paragraphs long. It would be nice if you could toggle between a "verbose" view and a condensed view which showed a limited amount of the initial discussion post. Just something to make this section a little easier to work with when a whole lot of discussions happening. Even with only a half dozen long discussions, that section of GoPlan gets really long really quick.

In our projects, the discussions are is used for job scoping and project planning so the initial posts and subsequent replies can be pretty lengthy.

I also wish hyperlinked text stood out a little more too. The choice of link color does not stand out enough in my opinion.
