I'm going to have a poll in asking you, the members, about whatever new modifications that you wish to be added to the forums. I'm not going to over-burden with too many and make it complicated and slow loading. I shall suggest some here, you can reply back if you would like it installed. Post back your own if you got any.
1) Instant post redirection: Redirects instantly after posting a message instead of showing the 'Your message has been posted.' page for 3 seconds.
2) Style'able colorful usernames: Allows users to stylize the way their username displays in ways such as
-border
-color
-background
-font style
-text decoration
-font weight
3) Cash Mod: Earn points for your activities. You can use points for any game or any user-shops (avatars, etc.) that you host on the forum.
4) Karma: It's self-explanatory. Either you get negative or positive karma for your activities and behavour on the forum. i.e. +1/-1 by other members or by the Staff. So eventually, the more the positive karma, the better.
5) Milestone Congratulations: Enables the setup of milestones for members to reach. These may consist of (numbers freely adjustable): Making the 1000th post, creating the 1000th topic or registering as the 50th user. The user accomplishing a goal will be displayed on the index page until the next milestone is reached. Upon reaching a milestone the counter automatically increments by an (once again) adjustable amount.
6) Thanks for posts: adds possibility to thank the author of the message (to cancel gratitude).
7) RSS SmartFeed: As requested by taninamdar. Provides RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom 1.0 customized newsfeeds. Users select forums they want.
8) Topic Text in Mouse Over: Will allow the text from the first post in a topic to display in the mouse over of a topic. We had this in our previous forum. It's useful to preview contents of a post from the forum page itself.
9) User Blogs: Allows members to have a blog on the forum, attached with their account.
10) User status: A facebook style status message that users can set below their nicknames.
11) Mood Swings: Adds the ability for users to set their current mood which is then displayed in viewtopic and profile page.
