Yo Chris. It's time for another.

This issue features a grand idea! As well as small ideas to improve the forums and some from the last issues which havn't been implamented yet.

Grand Idea
So I have this grand crazy idea about forum 2.0. Basiclly is this. You know how when you join a forum and post loads then you go and join another one (sometimes even on the same network) and everyone thinks your the noob. Well with this idea you have a 'master' profile. Which displays your other posts from the forums (an admin can make it so they count as theirs (post count only) or they don't (so you have a post count and a network count)). It also gives you a centeral profile which has your signatures etc. Which can just be 'applied' to the next forum by entering a simple code. (A master proflile code). You then only have to update one forum and your signature, contact details etc. change on all forums. Many new features can be brought into with this idea!

Smaller Features
- Offical smilies to define NextBBS.
Since for-ever we have had these random smilies which are not really a full set of what most forums have as a smilie. They are generic Yellow ones which don't seperate NextBBS from the other forums. We have no idenfiying smilies. The idea was preposed before. Members submited some 'trial' ones but they never got accepted.

- Extra fileds into profiles.
I don't know if this ever was implamented. But basiclly an admin can add more fields into the profile. So if it's a gaming forum users can see peoples Xbox tags or Wii Code. If they want to add extra comunication addressess such as a Google talk field etc.

- Control Panel Changes
Make it so the links to editting your pannel have different tables up the top. So a private message section. Profile section and forum settings.

- Switch User Avatar and information around the post field in admin options (for defult) and user profile.
Make it so a user can have user information displayed on either the left, right or above a post.

- More Code Buttons
More code buttons, for example hidden reply.

- Fix the Avatar System
I think thats self-explantory but if not:
- no auto resize (only do this if its to big)
- no dorky colour problem

- Affiliate section
Have it so the section which those buttons to support this project are an admin tool to remove in the cp and replace them with the sites affiliate buttons etc.

- Clean up the forums.
I think NextBBS needs a good clean up of the design in many places basiclly improving the user use and things. I also still keep my preposed idea of cleaning it up to be as simple as punbb in terms of files so you can just 'insert' your html design around the forums and then insert the forum systems using php calls.

Oh cool it's out.
I'm going to take a look; I have fairly high expectations after all this time. Should be well designed.

---

First impression: very clean design. Well, except the blogs. I guess they are not done with these yet.
But their blue and orange design is definitely nice. And their CP looks neat.

yeah! very good^^

i like this design
