   As you may or may not know I am currently working on completely rewriting the plugin so that it may be easily updated and extended in the future, so I won't currently be adding any new features to this plugin until it is released (there will also be a premium version, but still thinking about how this will work amongst other things) but will do my best to fix any bugs that are reported between now and then.

   So this topic is for any suggestions you may have for the new version, likely to be called WPBB 2.0.

   Things already implemented:

   • You can now set permissions for categories
   • The 'view' permission has been changed to prevent role(s) from actually being able to see a category, forum or sub forum instead of what it currently does: allow you to view inside it.
   • Extensions - Developers mainly but anyone with a little php knowledge will be able to create "sub plugins" for the plugin without having to edit the plugin itself and then have to do it all over again when you update - users will also be able to download, activate and deactivate these "sub plugins" with the click of a button.
   • The plugin itself will be much easier to understand and edit
   • More things I can't think of of the top of my head, will reply to this topic every now and then with an updated list of complete suggestions or suggestions being worked on / debated on etc

   I do have lots of ideas for the plugin but would love to hear yours. Since I don't think I'll be able to edit this post after a certain time, I'll likely post with an updated list of things completed and other things being worked on or possibly being added.

   Thanks again to all of you for using WPBB!

   I have a suggestion for you.How about integrating categories into forums like other Forum software have.
   If I want to make lets say a Category General and a forum Discussions in it, to be able to make a SubCategory in that forum and then a in that category SubForum.
   This will allow a greater customizability and will be really useful.

   Maybe, a phpBB convertor will be useful ? :)

   I would like the option to make timestamps editable in terms of format and location.

   I would like to have the forum post the avatar or image from the topic page so its a image and text. Is this possible?

   I would like there to be a way for forum members to flag inappropriate comments.

   Support for custom css templates would be great. Even if they just need to be uploaded into the plugin's css folder. It could be a dropdown instead of radio buttons in the plugin settings.

   Also FWIW, although adding link state css is good practice to be thorough, it overwrites theme css as you have it written. Changing the css to:

   .wpbb-table a:visited {color: #0066CC;}

   would be preferred, although I'd rather not have the plugin set text colors without custom css template support.

   I really like the simplicity of this plugin. Nice job!
