Hal and company,
Great job getting this up and running. There are a few suggestions though that may make it even better. I figure folks can add on as well...
[s]Allow us to strike through text using the code that's around this sentence.[/s]
On the Purple Board, we have some code that will allow users to imbed video from YouTube, Vimeo, etc. It might be fun to allow users to embed video. I can email/PM an example from our boiler room if you want to know how to set it up.
DO NOT allow users to embed HTML code. (It's a giant hole for hackers to take over!!)
More smileys!! Better smileys!! Rob 'em from the other boards like I did!!
Make the default subscription mode "Do not subscribe" when new users sign up.
Make new users click on a link in a confirmation email before allowing them to post (cuts down on spam).
Allow bigger avatars (we allow 150x150 on the Purple Board).
I think there's a thread on this, but upload Tapatalk. It's free.
Allow a bunch of PMs to be saved (a few hundred)
Put a window at the bottom of a thread that will allow users to post with out having to click "reply" somewhere.
Make menus consistent through all screens.
That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure others will have more.
