it is a shame that these bugs exist, and i do agree that they are not desirable..... unfortunately they were unexpected at the time we purchased the forum software. The board is committed to the move, and the forum/website guys have been working pretty hard to try out weed out all the bugs and problems.
Read/unread thread indicator
This seems to be a problem with Vbulletin software that was completely unexpected. I believe josh has been doing some research and enquiries with the developers and their support forum to try and find out if this is something they intend to fix with their future upgrades.
Invisible user function:
I cant comment on this one really, other than to say i'll bring it up at the board meeting and see what Josh etc have to say and let you know. I agree it "should" work as intended - but again this was an unforseeable bug that was just unexpected.
So far that's all the bugs i can really think of, please let me know if you are aware of any others so I can bring them up with the board and IT guys to have them looked at.
Yes these are important features of a forum, i wouldnt go so far as to say "fundamental" myself - but they were unexpected and unidentified when the selection process was taking place to choose which software suited our requirements.
The board has some very specific requirements from the Toymods forum:
- it had to be integrated into our club website
- it had to be faster/more efficient than Fudforums
- administration tasks/functions needed to be more powerful and less of a "hack"
- had to take emphasis away from the post counter or remove it altogether
- had to allow customisable user groups that automatically update a user's priveldges based upon their contribution to the forums
- following the above, needs to limit the abilities of new signups from non-club-members so that they cant post for sale threads etc
- moderated signup procedure with same level of information given by a club member
- more flexible and customisable moderating controls
- have a structure that promotes and encourages technical content and discourages wookies.
i'm sure there were more requirements.... and after assesing what was possible with FudForums, it was decided that a new software was needed to enable these requirements.
Shane i'm not trying to be a thorn in your side buddy, im honestly saying that we have tried to fulfil all our requirements whilst at the same time maintaining or improving on the forums functions and useability for the end user. Unfortunately a couple of unforseen bugs have arisen - so we are working on them now.
Thanks for the feedback 
(honestly!)
