Hi,
After playing around with the SimplePress Forum for awhile (which is amazing by the way ) I've noticed a few things that possibly should be conisered in future releases.
1) Preview posts??? All forums have the ability to preview posts before they are posted. Unless I'm blind or missing something, I don't see it.
2) User Group colours? Every forum software allows for user group colours. For example, Administrators are usually Red and Moderators are Green etc.
3) Place the word "pinned" or "stickied" by a pinned topic. I know that there is a small little thumbtack that symbolizes sticked topics but if your new to the forum, how do you know its pinned or sticked? If you put "Pinned:" before the topic title, this would remove some confusion. But this wouldn't be a must have, but just a thought I had
Thats all I have. The SimplePress Forums are simply amazing. I can't wait for future releases!

1) if using tinymce, there is a preview button.
2) user group styling (as well as ranks) are already there. each user is styled uniquely based on these. you have to provide the css though. obviously, impossible for us to know what user groups you might,
3) certainly not something I would want to use, but doesnt mean we cant consider it as an option for a future release - can open a ticket

Sorry for another question, but where can I find the User Group Styling?
Offline
best bet is firefox with firebug. lets you examine and what if all css/problem-with-post-edit-buttontml/js...
but I take that back. we did not apply the usergroup memberships. we didnt because it got out of hand as users can belong to more than one user group and then you could have conflicts and which one would win out.
but, every user has this styling

So we can't change user group colours so that different usernames are of different colours?

you can by ranks or user id...
so if user john belonged to usergroups alpha (red text), bravo (blue text) and charlie (green text), what color would you want his name to be? how does one prioritize?
and I mentioned that if you limit users to membership in one usergroup, you can use the forum ranks to equate a rank to a usergroup and then provide the color via the rank.
