As an admin in a couple of groups, I've noticed several features that are missing that were very useful in the past. I'm hoping that some of these features will return in the future.
[u]Missing Features[/u]:
- Only one level of admin (Preferred options to turn on/off certain rights)
- No ability to lock threads! (This one is a HUGE issue for us.)
- Can't ban straight from the forum; have to go to members and then ban.
- Can't edit members' comments. UPDATE: This has been resolved!
- No search member feature
- Member titles!
- Articles/FAQs/Links pages
[u]Group Issues/Bugs[/u]:
- Missing threads - entire threads seem to have been purged from groups. UPDATE: This issue has been resolved.
- All admins but one demoted.
- Some groups have incorrect founder listed
- Banning members results in kicking them from the group! UPDATE: Only if they belong to more than 10 groups.
[u]Suggestions[/u]:
- Customize layout
-- Turn/on off nested replies
-- Ability to list posts chronologically in ascending order
-- Themes to change background colors, fonts.
- Private group post reporting/ report queue for moderators and admins
- Group forum tags: it's nice that we can tag threads in private groups; however, if those threads are not public, they appear to be useless. I would like to be able to see a list of group-specific tags.
- Ability to search [i]within[/i] groups!
- Badge system for members
- Ability for admins to tag members' threads. (Perhaps will come with ability to edit members' posts?)
- List of followers that are not current members
Other thoughts?

I made these remarks yesterday in Deejs thread, but never got a reply, hopefully he sees it meow Oh look he did.
