Recently a thread we had started diverted temporarily for a short yet passionate "discussion" about image sizes, I will re-post what I put in off topic reply there.
The current forum is to my knowledge practically un-modded. Adding a few modifications to customise it to suit discussing puppy linux would inevitably filter down into a better distro, and a better experience to puppy linux's users.Ive always had the philosophy that technology when used correctly can overcome any problem, and make sure that all "minorities" (i.e. the majority) are catered for. As former phpbb board designers Ive often thought that what would help the puppy community considerably is if we added some modifications to this board. I did mention this some time ago when I first joined. Phpbb message board is an open source project and like firefox can have a great many customisations added to it, including one that will allow photographs to be uploaded easily, with a setting in the users control panel to let individual users choose to see only previews of an image if they require..
I realise that posting this I have violated a forum norm by not posting it in the "suggestions for forum improvement" stickie at the top (I have seen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9q2jNjOPdk which covers forum basics...a great watch). However I think the topic of forum modifications as a technical topic would be better discussed as a separate thread from the stickie, which deals more with "social" forum management. Flash, I will understand if you choose to merge this topic with that one if you disagree. You are the one that at the end of the day puts the effort in for free.
A great selection of phpbb modifications that would be useful on this forum can be found at http://www.phpbbhacks.com
