Another 5.0.9er!!! I have the very same problem, my board is way too much customized and hacked... with features I don't want to miss, here are some of them:
- newsletter (preformatted) to a "subscriber" user group, users can edit their group profile any time to (un)subscribe.
- site integration with two .htaccess protected "members only" areas, again users can edit their group profile to join, but I set an expiration date after they pay and only then they get access with their w3t username/password
- site integration with a CGI chat script, w3t user names can be password protected when entering the chat (again, this is selectable via the usergroup edit)
- auto URL, email and image markup
- several added markups:
my email[ul] and [list=decimal] (plus [li]) for lists
for a separator line
- HTML formatted mail (Eileen's hack), I set up the moderator notification to be fully formatted with colors etc. to make the email look just like the post on the forum
- inline images (Eileen's hack)
- inline poll results instead of poll form when logged in user has already voted
- enhanced search with number of hits and page numbers
- PMs to multiple users
- in preview of PMs keep the original below for reference
- optional read receipt be email, PM or both
- PM search function, including for deleted (but not yet purged) PMs
- PM preference settings/edit form
- enhanced "who's online" to show board, thread title, or the username when viewing a profile
- clickable titles with pop-up explanation for new users
- Main Index login form
- orange icons for ALL new posts in a thread, here the main post does not show up as orange/new, also proper icon color when coming from an email link (took a while to fix it, but it can be done, since I did)
- URL checker to verify userpics
- view profile and who's online only available to logged in users
- :-) to []/testimages/icons/smile.gif[/] etc. conversion
- one click approve button on each unapproved post (for qualifying moderators only) when in showflat/showthreaded
- delete and edit buttons for the post owner, only when the post is editable (edit time not expired), and for the qualifying moderators
- show unapproved posts to the user who posted it, to avoid double posting because they can't see it and think their post is gone
- automatic reminder emails to users who have not logged in for X number of days, and remove them Y number of days later from the database (added a total user field to keep track of the total ever users for stats)
there's more... but this list should do for now... upgrading is a nightmare that I have been avoiding, instead I try to implement the new features or "work them in" from the release version... so, getting as many hacks as possible into the release version would be on top of my wish list!!! Many could be done as an option to turn on/of via w3tvars to fit everyone's needs.
