I can't read your pink letters so I can't take your request into consideration

Highlight them. Or use Frosted, which pink letters appear black for some reason. Or is this just a joke?

Also, I would like a feature where you can mark all read automatically after a certain time defined by a user.

hehe It is tough to read on the default sheet here.  There's a bug in the frosted stylesheet that omegatron found.... it causes the font colors to get overridden.

What I would like to see in the 7 version (not 6.4) is pure normalization in the database. With the upcoming release of MySql 4.0 and the ability to use nested queries, this would allow greater flexibility in querying the data. In version 8 we can have stored procedures - at that time 4.1 would be out.

Ability for users to have the date displayed in their local format rather than that of the board i.e. on here to display 16/03/03 rather than 03/16/03.

Also, in the user list, add a homepage icon to replace the full display of the URL (this would be ideal for long URLs)

Did you see I posted a mod to do that? Or are you requesting it as a feature because it's a cool mod.

Oh yes! Let's have some new features the users really notice (you know most of the changes in the last updates were almost invisible). My feature wish list (priority in this order): 1) Sub-Forums 2) Calendar 3) Sub-Forums 4) Calendar

More - Make the lock (closed) icon shown next to the thread icon (instead of overwriting the thread icon)
- Add a moved topic icon (shown next to the thread icon)
- Add A poll icon next to the thread icon to indicate a poll (if the UBB.classic poll feature gets added)
- Add a little flame icon next to the thread icon to indicate if the thread has over X replies
- Show what the closed, sticky, moved, poll, and flame icons mean in the legend (Currently the legend only shows the colors for new posts and old posts)
- Add the ability to search the user list
- Show when and where a user was last seen (when viewing thier profile)
- Show the date a user registered and thier location at the bottom of thier post (instead of the left side)
- Signature preview

even admins can't do this right now, so that would be a good one to add.

Sub-forums have come up alot. Anyone care to elaborate in how they envision these working? I've got a few ideas in my head but not sure what everyone else is thinking. Is this basically a forum on the main page that when clicked on opens up several more forums, like going to another main index screen that only contains forums within that forum?
No idea when this will get in, but it's been asked for enough I think it needs to be discussed in how these will actually work.

I think I've seen this at various sites. On the postlist screen, the regular forum is there, but up top there's like a small category of additional forums to click down into for subforums. example: http://www.sitepointforums.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=90I think if you're logged in, there's quite a few threads under that one anchored thread at the trop of that forum. But you can see the 2 forums above that. On the forumsummary (ubbthreads.php) page, the forum is there with its description and below the description is links to subforums. I don't know if I'd ever use it, but interesting anyways

Like Allen already pointed out, the top level forum should contain subforums, but also all postings of all its subforums.
So if you open the postlist for forum1 you will get links to the subforums forum1.1, forum1.2 and already see all posts of forum1, forum1.1, forum1.2.
A click onto subforum forum1.1 then displays just a subset (like a filter) of its parent forum1 posts.

Oooooh Check out Here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/index.php?Scroll down to where it says "vBulletin Code Hacks @ vBulletin.org". It's got the arrow icon next to it. Clicking it redirects you to a URL. That's a really cool way to put other elements of your site... into the forum listing. Like a chat room photo gallery etc... Currently I use HTML in forum descriptions and give the forum a "space" as the name to get that desired effect.  I like that.

Ok, I think I can do this. Will probably start off with limited nesting. Meaning you will only be able to make subforums one level deep. To nest further than that will require alot more complexity and will probably have to wait until a later date.

just to stray from the current discussion and to mention a new feature.. almost EVERYONE on my site has been asking for this. They want the feature that vbulletin has where when you reply to a thread, the post icon has a "dot" or other indicator. I too find this would be very useful as on a forum with 1000-2000 new posts per day, sometimes it is nice to just quickly glance for those icons knowing which threads to pop into. At least maybe have this as an option.. I dunno. There may already be a hack for this, I haven't been keeping up on those. But it would be great to see as that has been the biggest suggestion by everyone that I've heard

Oh so it keeps track if you've participated in the thread? Gardener's hack (which listed all the participants) could probably be adapted to keep track of this. Off topic: Why is your Avatar Cheese? You just made me hungry Jeremy.

I can't really envision how this would look. Is it another column next to the post icon?

Mmmh, 98% of it are spam, i suppose.  So please make it optional, so that it can be disabled.
