Hi Clinton,
You probably have a real life beyond the Forge here, but I thought I would put this out.
I remember in the prior software we were able to enumerate lists. Not one to just complain, though I have done my fair share of griping, I did some hunting around at the SMF boards and found what looks like a patch or a hack that permits "numbered lists." Here is the link - http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=21745.msg173477#msg173477 with the actual code.
Thanks!
