I can't wait for the forum....I'm sure its going to be excellent.
Meanwhile,,,I was hoping that two features would be added to this version.  I know however that your time is limited, but these are features that my users found tremendous....

-Quick Reply box
-Flags for each user to show what country they are from

If any of these features are in the new app...it would be fascinating...  :)

QRB will be a turn on/off feature I believe. Not sure about the flags though. I know a lot of people like them.

I too like the Quick Reply...for the flags, I saw a MOD for that. Did users normally just choose the flag themselves or?

Actually, I believe they chose a country from a list and then it auto assigned the flag to that user.

**EDIT** Yeah, the member map mod. Had country list in a drop down box and then it would auto display corresponding flag.

Exactly like Metho said....they would choose the flags and auto asign from a .gif directory.  That directory would contain all flags of the world as in the drop down list which the users chose.

There was also another section with a map of the world which would then pinpoint where each member is from by adding a dot.  So if we are in the U.S. and there are 20 users you would see 20 dots on that country, even going to the extent of pin pointing what city or state they are from.  Very neat when you have users from around the world like I do.  Its quite interesting...

They keep asking for this feature, but Yabb SE screwed a lot of things up for me...now i don't know how to go back, so I will wait till I upgrade!!!!!  :)

This was actually built into the second MemberMap Mod. But dont know if its a good idea to request here but the MemberMap is a great feuture my members love.  I was on the Official Community board itself so is it possible it be added as a feature?

I was thinking about advanced quick reply? This may have to be a mod but how about having either an admin or user option to select how "quick" the quick reply box should be. By this I mean the admin / user could select whether the quick reply box should show the message icon option box, smiley box and/or BBC box. Probably job for a mod but it would be a nice touch (the message icon in particular as the others can be inserted without the need for the buttons)
I'm only a half geek really...

QuoteI have ideas for this one:
- make it collapsable, like the additional options..
- make it an option in theme options, and if that option is on....
    - it should use quotefast to quote things directly into the quick reply box.
    - it should have the quick reply box, by default, expanded.
- if the option is off, the box should start off as just a line - collapsed.

The box should have only minimal options.  Maybe a subject (not sure) the box, possibly smilies... no bbc... no "additional options".. perhaps preview.

Someone is already working on this.
