In the proper format with title, sorry for spamming other thread Alinoa :oops:

-Avatar size:
a little larger in settings? (not massive but 128x128?)
-Account fields:
like Manialinks, TM/SM/QM Login, Steam, X-fire?
-Online/Offline/Counts/Buddies:
Maybe some forum plugins developments like heading the forum with "players online" info for each game etc in future would be cool, Maybe even integrating the "is online" feature with an "is ingame" with a join server button (i know it would be a pain in the butt to do, but would be v nice to see integrated into all the games with a tmtp style join link)? Basically just joining the Buddies online, and player counts total online, and being able to click to join from profile or the small info by a post ... would be awesome :D

All i can think of atm, will add more if i get any ideas.

Tweak for a forum idea.

In tm-forum.com you can add images to the topic like flames, important, question.

That's something that might be added.

I'd like to see an "approve" or "disapprove" option for each post, some kind of karma setting

you mean like a reputation system? could be useful.

What i would like is other skins for the forum (as i hate the way phpbb3 puts all the userinfo on the right side of the screen - it feels unnatural to me)

Yes, but I thought a + or - system to distinguish useful posts from less useful posts, so they could stand out amidst all this spam ^^

Account fields would be great to see. ^^ The topic icons are probably missing, most likely when they designed this theme, they forgot to add/include the topic icons selection. :D

Rating of individual posts might be a bit much, but of threads it might work if the forum becomes very active.

I have one more Idea for the forum:
When you are logged in and you haven't read a topic yet, then it's orange. With the posts there is something similar. Next to the name appears than a red sheet.
So my idea is now to add such thinkgs to each page. If there is atopic with many pages, than it would be more easier to see on which page a new post is. Because when you always click on the last page and there are some new posts on the page before, than these posts have no red sheet anymore. Than it's abit annoying to look, which posts you already read and which not.
I hope it's explained clearly enough ;)
