Uber Admin would be cool. The ability to manage the board as admin without going to a "panel" to do it. Ban users, edit posts, add word censors, remove avatars all right on the page where the admin is interacting with the users. There could be an edit mode on the thread or each object could go to an edit page for editing. That would be awesome and something I've not heard of before in a forum (some one correct me if I'm wrong).

Question is whether it is reinventing the wheel. Its not like you can re-use anything from phpBB somewhere else - or has someone found the "Convert to OOP" button in the Administration panel?
I have an OOP forum (a lite version) pencilled in for planning - I'm pencilling out another project (seems to have entered one of those OS hibernation periods). I have free time to contribute in December...or in matlib...depending which is active, and/or in progress.

Vbulletin already does that. From what I have seen it's not terribly well implemented. It doesn't really tell the user what is going on so people think it's not working if the server is slow. Without knowing how it all works users assume it's broken when they click the edit button and nothing happens for several seconds.RobertPaul wrote:I always thought this would be a neat use for AJAX. Click "edit" and instead of going to an edit page, the text just turns into a textarea.

Better in what sense?Charles256 wrote:maybe.but i'm going to make a better wheel:-D
You've asked everyone else for their ideas, but you seem to feel your project will be better than the existing solutions. So, explain what you will be doing differently. The only things mentioned so far are OOP v. Procedural (which you'll be leaning towards procedural mostly), and some AJAX editing fields (which another package already offers).
Whats your vision?
