AKA Mods. I just got my discussion forum back up and running after a short vaca, and I'm trying to decide what mods to add. The problem with mods on phpBB is updating versions. ICK.
Anyway, I'd like it to feel more like a community than just a forum and I need some advice. I've already added
Birthdays
Local Events - Feeds directly to my home page and can be subscribed to via Feedburner
Board Announcements - Also feeds to the homepage and can be subscribed to through Feedburner
FIND - RSS news delivery to forums of my choice. Very nice for feeding blog entries, news, etc.
Report this post - allows members to report posts. I feel this is a double edged sword.
I'd like to add something that will allow members to feed their blogs to a special forum called Member Blogs. I know how to do it and it won't be hard with the FIND feature, but do I really WANT to? All they have to do is give me the RSS feed for their blog and I can set it up to grab daily or do it manually.
Any other features you'd recommend? My forums are for women, and topics include health, parenting, news, politics, etc. .
Ideas, brainstorms, constructive criticism are all welcome.
