New forum enhancements
Would it be possible to add the following features....
Prominent link to forum
Easy to see link directly to front page of forums
Posts since last visit
To function as previous forum, not as the current 'recent posts' section.
Graphical smiley's
Parse for a handful of common emoticons and replace with a small image file.
Private message
Send a PM to a user by clicking their name or a PM link by their avatar
View my posts function
Show a list of the posts made by currently logged in user.
Left menu bar, click 'My Account' then click 'Track'
Username visibility
Currently the username attached to a post is small and pale grey making it less than eyecatching.
"Postcount ?
If the postcount was removed for a reason, then leave it gone, else it'd be nice to see it back.
User info page
Clicking a username or their image should go to the profile page for that user.
Reply indentation
A new function seems to allow posts to appear our of chronological order if the post is a reply, the reply should be indented to assist in this being obvious. Also, given the is this the right way to go? People expect new posts to be at the bottom of the thread, not intersperced throughout it.
Reply notification
Is there any way to be notified by email when a thread is responded to?
Dirk, We are using Drupal (I
Dirk,
We are using Drupal (I assume you realized that already). The process of getting things going is:
1. Figure out how to do it (new module, enabled the feature in existing module, etc.)
2. Turn feature on or install new module on dev site and make sure it doesn't break other things.
3. Enable the feature on the live site.
So something that would really help if you want to participate is to do some of the research and determine how/where we enable the feature. Some of the things you mention I think we know how to do, others, we need to figure it out. I'll take a quick scan around and post back here any ones that I think we already know about so you don't burn cycles on those.

Can already be done I believe, site wide under My Account
Reply Notificiation
I believe it requires the Subscriptions (http://drupal.org/project/subscriptions) module be installed and tested.
Private Message
I believe it requires the Privatemsg (http://drupal.org/project/privatemsg) module be installed and tested.
Graphical Smiley's
I believe it needs the Smileys (http://drupal.org/project/smileys) module installed and tested. But it is not clear if this will provide the icons or just interpret the smiley faces if manually typed. We will have to see. If you can dig up any more on this - as well as the icons for code blocks, italics, bold, etc. - that would be helpful.
That is a start ...

New to Drupal
I've never seen/used Drupal before, but I'll start doing a little research. Looks like it may be a lot of work to get it all running though.
