Forum Theme:

The forum theme needs to be heavily modified to look more professional and sexy. I have modded this theme for my own websites and will be more than happy to do it here.

 

 

Sidebar Polls:

I believe the sidebar looks very bare and empty with only 1 block of info being shown.

Instead, adding a sidebar poll for developers and community managers to use to gather info would be a fun way to engage with the community on a daily basis and fill in the empty space.

Custom Sidebar Blocks:

Could be used for small announcements instead of using shoutbox space. It could have announcements such as a release of a MAJOR assembly or simply a message from admins to the community.

Awards System:

The Awards System is, as the name suggests, an awards management system. It allows you, as the admin, to create and define awards categories and place awards within those categories. It gives you the power to decide who is able to view, give and take awards on a per category basis. You are also able to designate any number of groups as "Global Awards Mods", these Global Awards Mods will be able to see, give and take awards from all of your categories. On the admin side you are able to restrict admins from accessing each of the main functions of the awards mod.

We also need coloured block BBCodes for announcements and better looking threads.

The shoutbox should have the chat under it.

 

The hook settings will say "theme 2".

 

 

The shoutbox anti-spam setting is better at 5 seconds rather than 10

There's no point in having it.

About the forum Theme, it is an actual purchased skin from http://www.ipsfocus....hange.php?id=40

SideBar pools shall be added in the near future, but no pool are running at the moment.

About the custom sidebar blocks, you gave the same link as for the sidebar pool.

Also about the awards i will agree, but i wonder if anyone can post in the GFX any custom rank/icons which will fit on this forum?

 

-----

Also i have a question for you, how can i fix in the shoutbox, whenever somebody writes @usernamehere, to actually display a link and color depending on the group of the user?

@{name} obviously doesn't work. (which is the default value) Or is it some kind of issue from the skin here?
