I've tried hard to pick through some cryptic talk pages both here and elsewhere - the chaotic layout just ends up doing my head in. It seems far more sensible to have discussions on the forum and then place a link. The talk page could then be a page listing the forum threads, with some précis of what's been discussed. Either that, or we could move complex discussions to an archive more often and just have a refactored summary on the talk page.

Talk pages need to be rethought out. When I open one and there's twenty people all interspersed in one chaotic page, my eyes begin to glaze over. Give me a proper threaded discussion board any day.
