All I have to say is:

"Display Emoticons: [ ]"

I'm sure if you linked or submitted your own chat-sized icons, Gobb would consider it. Knock yourself out.

We need this on the forums :D

edit: to clarify, I meant on people's posts. if you like it, +1 it, if you don't, -1. This would be helpful so when someone makes a good suggestion and you like it, but have nothing to add, you can +1 it. Also, if someone makes a funny post I don't have to say "That post was so funny", I can just +1 it.

Meh, PHPBB is what it is. Not interested in rewriting it. If anyone knows of a plugin that does that, though (eg. a Like/Dislike plugin for individual posts, rather than a poll for a whole topic), let me know and I'll consider adding it.

All I know is there is a similar system on the League of Legends forums, such as in this example of a slightly unpopular post http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/sh ... p?t=668640

Maybe you can just copy their way of doing it? I don't know, just trying to be useful lol

Moreso than +1ing messages, or maybe in addition to, there could be a "Thanks" system like what I've seen on some other message boards. If you post something useful, helpful, or whatever, the reader can give you a point that is displayed under your avatar.

There's that "just" again. Tell me exactly what they're using and, if it's available for PHPBB I'll consider it. Otherwise, shhhhh.

Mass moderation plugin sounds pretty amazing actually. What a shame that it's not even up to an Alpha version yet and, according to the author:

"I already knew that 0.1.0dev version was completely bugged, but I forgotten to remove the download link. then, don't try 0.1.0 version!"

That's from a week ago though, so it sounds like it's something that MIGHT be available in a few months. Maybe.

Anything else?
