So, here are some of my desired features. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Are already in flarum. Just sayin'.

Ok, well that takes a nice chunk of meat right out the middle.

Thanks for the reply. 🙂

paulcambull All the other things can be done with extension 😉

luceos

I'd suggest you do a test installation. Because some of the features you requested here, are actually already existing. As such your topic is not a feature request, but more a question what is "already available", right?

paulcambull

luceos It's a combination of both. I have an active forum with about 700 users that are accustomed to certain features. I would like to continue to offer those and also keep clean navigation a priority.

paulcambull

BlackSheep Are these extensions already available? If there is a list I have not found it yet.

luceos

paulcambull well if you want a request for features to be considered seriously I'd recommend listing those that aren't yet done. Not trying to be harsh btw, just trying to keep the features list a little tidy.

And thanks for taking the time to list all your requirements.

paulcambull

luceos That's understandable but like I alluded to in a previous post I did not notice a list of features within these forums.

If I missed it all apologies and if you could provide a link that would be greatly appreciated.

luceos

paulcambull the list is actually everything under the features tag 😉

luceos

paulcambull Also there is an extension for facebook likes. You can check the list on the extensions tag for the available extensions.

luceos

I re-read the description of the features tag and moved it back there 😉 Please do continue and disregard my foolishness.

paulcambull

luceos No worries, I know it's difficult to try and keep things organized, especially when you are in the building process.

In an active sports forum, where emotions can run hot, I think having an Ignore User feature is a great way for two people that have decided they can no longer tolerate each other to cool out without any moderation from the administration being required.

The top 2 on my list (Individual Categories with Logos - Individual Forums with Logos)would be a necessity though or else navigation would become a real issue.
