I saw this setup on another forum and i have to say, i was deff liking it...Just thought i would pass along some of the things they had going on, just to throw some of the ideas out there incase anybody wants to change anything in the future..

The bottom of the main screen of the forum..Personally i like the fact that it tells you which members were logged in for the day, shows you whos active and what not throughout the day

The user panel at the top of the screen, or whatever its called...I like how it shows you how many posts you have, how many new posts there are, and how many new threads there are..

This is a section under your profile...Here you can upload a few pictures of your car, or anything else you wnat..You are allowed a limited amount of pictures, and when somebody views your profile, theres a section that displays the pictures you have loaded..

The next few images are displaying the questions in your profile...Which are once again visable in your profile to other people...I like how theres options to list info about your car, for the people who may be interested in what you have. And i also like how you can embed a movie in your profile, so like if you have a clip of your car, or your fav clip on the internet, you can have it in your profile for people to see.

In the threads themselves, next to every post, theres a button you can click to save random posts which you throught were funny or whatever, or funny posts where people get owned, but future reference..

Then of course there is also the game section, which has like 100 games...It logs the high scores and lists them next to each game, so the members can compete against eachother for the high score..

Then there is an actual Flash chatroom connected to the site, so you dont have to go into a AIM chatroom or anything, and if you notice in the first pic i posted, it displays if anybody is in the chat or not, thats pretty cool i thought.

And finally we have this, which i see on a lot of forums now...Its list similar topics to the thread you are reading...

Theres also other lil things, like putting a link next to your username for people to click to connect directly to your myspace account, just like we have buttoms for AIM and etc...

Once again, just thought i would share incase somebody planned on coming up with a new version for the site in the future or anything..Just some ideas for ya :thumb:

Yeah that first one is on INC also: shows what members visited the site in the last 24 hours. That's pretty cool.

I also like the game thing. We could all compete and shit.

That's Invision Power Board. 3/4 of the forums I regular use it. Only one other forum I regular uses vBulletin (this forum). I love IPB, just because it's so customizable.
