What would you like to see in version 1.9? (closed)

I really don' t see any more benefits to provide a higher level of security model in a forum application.

• A " kit" of stored procedures (commented heavily, or at least described) that perform generic operations like " Show me the newest n posts" or " List the newest n users" -- stuff along those lines. Call it the " Site Integration Kit" or something to that effect; very handy to stuff ASP-PGD into an existing layout when we have a kit like this.
  
• I' d like to see session, authentication and user management modularized a bit more to make it easier to upgrade the forums if we' ve hacked your code into our own site. . One file that contains all user management and session management (including authentication/authorization) would be ideal, one file that has the dozen or so functions you require for ASP-PGD but that we could change easily (and in one place). Does my wording of this request make sense?
  
• An easier way to manage the style of the forums. Perhaps just call three CSS files -- One for all browsers, an additional one for IE5+ browsers, and a third for Mozilla-style browsers (NS6, Opera). I personally dislike using a web-based interface to customize the look and feel, I prefer to jump into the stylesheets. These CSS files should also be well commented. If you haven' t seen it alreayd, check out TopStyle (http://www.bradsoft.com); it' s the best CSS IDE ever.
  

• Customizable registration form. This is extremely important to me because the community I run is more like a club and it is one of my duties to do all that I can to be selective and avoid any kind of annoyance to current users. So, I tend to ask specific questions about users that allow me to understand who they are and reach them via phone or other means in case I need. Basically, our community is all but based on anonimity. So, I' d suggest to create a number of customizable fields in the registration form, and that those info are emailed to the admin together with the authorization/confirmation link.
  
  
• Ability to read all PM of all users by the Admin. I suggest that this is optional and that a disclaimer is presented to users when they use PM if this option is enabled, so that their privacy is somewhat preserved. Unfortunately, this is needed in those country where the admin can be hold legally responsible for the content of the forum, which requires some of us admins to check periodically that no (C) material or links (or worse) are shared among users, for instance.
  
  
• I know you said it would negatively impact performance for big forums, but since you asked to push you hard , maybe it could be optional (explaining that, if enabled, such an option would decrement the forum performances) for smaller communities: ability to save font, font color, font size for message editing, for each user.
  
  
• Again, I know you said it could cause a dramatic overload for a mail server, but again, for small communities, it could be optional to add the message body in subscription notification emails
  
  

• Option to add a line saying " reply to %sendername%" at the beginning of each message in flat style. Since I created this message, for instance, by clicking on the reply icon of my own previous post, it would have this as its first line
