Hi,
Forum categories are something I had thought about and are quite easy to do so I'll probably get them added shortly.
Other thoughts I have had for the forum are:
Sticky threads, messages that stay at the top, important ones - fairly easy to implement.
Quotes, the ability to be able to include parts of the message your are replying to - fairly easy to implement.
WYSIWYG Editing the ability to use fonts, bold, colours, images etc. in the messages - quite complex to do so may not be for a while. You can already use basic html tags in the messages though.
A few other things I am working on for the rest of the site are:
Sounds the ability to send sounds in the chatroom, a bit like you can in MSN. It already works for chat administrators but the commands have to be typed in the chat window.
Picture Library to upload and share your photo's.
Forgot password link a link for people to get their password sent to them via email.
Email registration link a link sent out when a new user signs up to confirm their email address is valid.
Floating chat window to enable a new window to be opened for the chat screen so you can still use the rest of the site without leaving the chatroom. There is no reason why you cannot have two windows open now, one for the chatroom and one for the rest of the site, you can log in twice.
Meeting diary let me know if this is a good idea or not. The idea is that you can create meeting/party dates etc. and locations then other users can add their name to the meeting or not if they are not going. Shortly before the meeting an email goes out to everyone who has added their name as a reminder.
Plus a few other bits, please let me know if you have any other ideas.
Thanks
Mark

That meeting thing sounds great. Could you divide it into regions (NW, SW etc) to make it easier to navigate?
I would like to agree that the website, forum etc are awesome. You've done a bonza job buddy.

I know I'm sad, but could we have a little avatar (of our choice, or yours?!) next to our names on posts? Also would it be possile to show who posted on a thread last? That way I might stand a chance of remembering if I'd looked at a post or or, or some form of flag for new/unread posts?
Sorry for asking for so much....Roe will make you extra cups of coffee won't you Roe? (Please?)

Doh! Just saw it does say who posted the last reply, darn it told ya I needed specs, as I now have one less request (I refer you to the methodolgy of "with the money I saved by not getting a parking ticket....etc") is it possible to be able to edit our posts? For purposes of 1. making a prat of oneself again by putting something in a post and realising there was no need i.e. my previous gaff, 2. to eliminate our stupid spelling mistakes to prevent making a prat of myself even further (and yes it is possible believe me!)
Or can we already edit our posts, but being a bit dim I haven't worked out how to do it yet?

I could do that but had decided not to.
If I dont do that then you have to pop your head around the door to see who is in.
Sorry.

I'll do this one for you just because i'm not doing the other one.
What would you prefer?
1, A predefined list of images.
2, You to upload your own images

You are so the best Mark and Roe is great too. I don't mind whichever is easiest for you, either upload our own or pre-defined!
