1) ability to designate ranks to members based on post count.

2) the ability to link a designate forum to the Polls widget with the ability to denote X amount of last polls to be displayed (maybe even be able to denote a poll of the week at the top of the list)

3) the ability to decide where the widgets are displayed. Above main content, below main content, left of main content, right of main content. For each widget independantly

4) the option to include signature on a post (maybe have it checked on by default)

5) An option to Preview Post next to the submit button.

thanks :D

delete double post?

the ability to delete your own post if there are no replies after it yet would be nice too.

I also would like to see the Rank according to post count ability. Or some way to give a reward besides making  moderators of valuable Forum members. Also I agree that a Preview Post would be very welcome thing to have.

Chief did post of new features in the works for Nov-Dec (see here: http://support.lefora.com/2008/11/06/what-is-in-the-pipeline-for-lefora-in-november-and/page1/  ). I am really looking forward to having the Sub-Categories being added.

Thanks mattb4.

Thanks for the suggestions braxxis, ranks are something we will be adding, improving the poll interface is of interest to us as well. The customizing of the sidebar is something a little more involved, and further out on our plans, as part of new themes.

And for the preview, while not the greatest option, since you can edit your post right after posting, you could treat that as a preview, then click edit = it gives you a chance to make changes.

As mattb4 pointed out, that link is a listing of what we're currently working on.

Yup yup, thanks again chief. I have one more suggestion though. The ability to hide specified Forum areas to make them viewable by admins/moderators only. That way people running the show can discuss openly outside of PM's, changes to the site, repremads for bad eggs, rules, etc etc.

A thought occured to me while looking at the Member Tab in the Admin Panel. At the moment you can select for any member; Founder, Admin, Moderator and Member status.

Would it be possible to add a couple of more to the list that could act as a form of rank? They would not do anything more than modify the status displayed under User name so it might be fairly easy to implement. As for what they should be called, it could be something universal accross the Forums like Journeyman or Honorable. The Forum Admins would be reqired to set this vs number of posts doing it automatically but it would be nice way to recognize Forum regulars.

we'll be adding support around the site to ranks and roles, we're just focused on these features right now:

Thanks Chief. I am aware of the features you mention. And I know the "Your continued interest is important to us, please stay on the line (hideous music plays in the background)", response. I am aware of all the work that is being done and I applaud you folks for this.

I will suggest however that your response is lacking. Please do not take offense. But you did not respond in a way that suggested what you might be adding or when in regards to ranks. That is the reason for my suggestion for an easy fix for the moment while you come up with a better fix latter on.
