[QUOTE="malkav666, post: 4909222, member: 70565"] Look at some forum packages Sean. there are some really good ones out there that are not so bad to work with and/or do not cost a crap ton of dollars. I am partial to Vbulletin and Dragonfly CMS. Some basic features that need addressing are: 1. Navigation: You should make it show a little less in the default display. For example: Instead of having general on the main page and then the top 20 topics displayed and then class discussion and the top 20 in that forum displayed, make a clean option where you can just see the forum name (general, class discussion, product discussion, etc,) and the most recently posted in topic. As it stands your forums main page is 10 miles long, and I never make it down to the lower sections after scrolling through copious amounts of topics to get there. The traditional way to handle this is with categories and forums and sub forums within them. I believe your forums are set up the way they are to make them easy to view on phones. Well you can have your cake and eat it too on that as most modern packages support both types of browsing. 2. Subscription/Newsfeed support. Need to have a way for the user to catch up without scrolling through your 200foot main forum page. While we are on the topic of updated threads. You could also change the color of the font on threads that have received new posts while a users session is still current. 3. PM functions would be hot. but those are just my own ideas. love, malkav [/QUOTE]
