OK, the dust is starting to settle. The name of the site has changed, we are gathering moderator nominations, and we've got donations set up and nearly fully implemented.
So - what else do people want to see? I know Lex is working on SSL but only the geeks will understand that one

I'd like to able to tag people in a post or response.
This is an option. There's a lite version (free) and a pro version ($80 for lifetime updates). It's made by the same people that did the donations add on. (And for the record I did buy lifetime support on donations because it means I'm not constantly having to log into paypal and manually verify everything...)
I could see tagging being seen as a bit obnoxious for some, which means I'd lean towards the paid version, simply because it allows tagging to be disabled as an individual preference.
Still, I'm reluctant to spend too much on mods. What I can do is set up the lite version and see what people think.

Re: What features would you most like to see added?
How about a notification feature if someone quotes your post, so that we know there is conversation happening and we know to respond to it? Or is this already available and I just don't know where to look?

Re: What features would you most like to see added?
Someone mentioned this in another post, but is it possible to have the different categories posted to the left like on TMMO?
Sometimes you just have to do what feels right with your money instead of what is "optimal". Too many focus on optimal outcomes, when good enough is good enough. (Thanks to Retired @ 50)
Re: What features would you most like to see added?
Perhaps this is available and I don't know how to do it - in the old forums you could favorite a thread so that it stayed in the left hand panel. I don't care where the 'favorites' are located but it would be a nice feature to have them saved somewhere for easy access.
'And, finally, when all of the pulling was done, Gertrude, behind her, again had just one...
That one little feather she had as a starter. But now that's enough, because now she is smarter.'
Re: What features would you most like to see added?
Well an online budget tool is a bit outside the scope of a forum, BUT it's a project I've been wanting to work on personally for a while so if I have time I will work on developing one. No promises, as it'll be in my free time, but it is on my list
