A list I put together...

Sorry for the pile up like this but I have a list of ideas that would make this project the undisputed forum component for Joomla.

Subforums
Subforums would the the modification for organization. Some message boards, especially the gaming clan message boards for example could be pretty lengthy. I know from experience...

Special Ranks:
Most gaming site like to have special ranks instead of using the rank images based off post counts.

Changing group colors in CP and not CSS:
Instead of editting a css file, there could be a way to change the group colors including the guest, admin, etc.. with out editing the css.

Another thought...

Breadcrumb module, now this would be awesome... Now if you had the option in the configuration to disable the breadcrumbs and basically the entire top box where it is and have a mod that would use the breadcrumb to where you were on the board. Now that would be really decent. The rest of the stuff up there can be placed as menu item if the website owner wants them available.

Another thing I would love to see come out is being able to use typography. Or how about allowing html in posts for allowed groups.
