    We're about to the point "modding/hacking" wise that the forum is setup like we want. There are still a few key mods that we want to add that are still being updated to the new framework (vBulletin 4).
    If you could have any addition, function or hacks on the site, what would you like.

    That may be anything from an arcade to custom tools, like banner generators or latest movies out in the theaters :pimp:

    Don't let your imagination hold you back, if you could have anything web related on this site, what would it be??

    At the risk of displaying website naivete, I would like the ability to alphabetize--smiley faces, recipes, stuff like that. I realize it's probably not possible. But you did say anything goes...

    would an option that allows each user to select their top X (20ish) smiles and have them always show in the editor for them to quickly pick from?
    consider it done

    --That's a pretty cool idea.

    At the bottom left of a page, there's a little box that lets you select the forum color scheme. :)

    If you are on twitter and facebook try and get all of your friends to join the forum. Give it a plug by saying positive stuff about General Forums.
    I did that with my aussiefooty twitter account with my followers. I think that helped Brandon get a few new members.

    I'll see about adding a referral plugin that can scan your contact list and allow you to alert them to our forum.
    I know there was a version for 3.8, I'm not sure about 4.

    Otherwise we do have the twitter and facebook badges, feel free to five any part of this site a push to your friends :)

    btw.. you can use your referral link if you want to get people to sign up under you :)

    I couldn't use it. It gave me a "fatal error" screen with all gibberish.

    hmm, well hopefully I won't need support :)
    ps.. so far I'm not impressed he changed my name.. I signed up under Brandon and when I went to login, it says Client_2343_23432 crap!
    can you copy and past the full fatal error you see?

    thx
