What is one of the big things you think forum sites are missing? I am referring to sites that are basically their forums.

One thing I would like to see is the ability to have my own emoticons when I am on a site. So user-based emoticons so to speak.

That would be a nice feature (kind of like what instant messengers do, although it would require a bit of storage space if you have a lot of members, depending on how it is implemented)

That's the trick, apparently. Making it efficient. I'd like to see someone come up with something that is doable for forums.

Well I think there are really two ways to go about doing that....

One is where you have multiple themes that a user can choose from to use themselves, and another where a user uploads their own theme (although allowing users to upload their own things can be an issue with regards to copyright and other issues with the content being inappropriate)

Thanks for the input on that, Brian! I feel as though it is a good way to help cement members, getting them to feel more at home. It probably encourages slightly better posts with more people feeling more armed to express themselves.
