Not sure if JON wants to or not but I would suggest:

SEO mod for VB for the urls for better indexing
SiteMap mod

these might help with SE later on :)

just my .02 but what do I know
 


Is there any concrete evidence these mods work? I've heard mixed reviews about them both.

If a VB forum is populr enough it seems to get indexed fairly well without the need for the SEO mod.

I've also read people say they drop in rankings when they add site maps. Not sure what the story is with that one either.
 
Try to give the admins avatars that have different colours?

I thought JOn was talking to himself in one of the threads :p

The buttons and emoticons look a little sketchy on the grey background. </nitpick>

Yeah, I need to finish masking off the small icons and smilies :) It's a shit job that ;)
You can prolly do that with a simple automation job in photoshop.
Like record action:
1. create background layer with right color
2. ctrl-click layer with button/smiley
3. feather 2px
4. invert selection
5. delete
6. save

now run the action on all smileys and buttons. :cool:

Haven't tested the 2px value, might need some tweaking.
 
vbSEO is alright; I'm using it on one of my forums, the problem is I added it within a week of launch so I don't know if it has helped or not. It definately makes stats reading easier..

Lee from forumtrends had it removed on his cruiseline forums because he said it didn't really help.
 
There's a plugin that shows how long you have been logged into the site for all time. Like for me it would say 6 hours... That would be cool...
