Hey again Wormy,
Okay I got a code idea that you might be interested in working on.
How about a rating system for threads?
The forum I have is for a horror podcast. A rating system would be a nice added feature on the threads for the episodes and the different movies we discuss. It would allow for an instant idea of what people think of an episode and/or movies without having to read through all the posts.
I can get screen shots of another forum that uses this kind of system (I haven't seen it on a ProBoards forum yet though) if you have no idea what I'm talking about.
You could probably modify the facebook like/dislike code you have to make this. I know little about coding, so I'm just guessing on this.

I cant modify the like/dislike code because Wonder wrote it and its remotely hosted.
what you are wanting to do would require some sort of remote storage in order to keep the data.
In the past, this has been requested on support and the answer has always been to utilize the poll function. the poll answers can be tailored to be "out of 10" and a small code could be written to add up all the results to get the average rating. but that is about it.
I cannot do remote storage codes yet since I am still learning PHP.

not a bother. if you reply to the thread in the database with the idea, Wonder will reply when he swings by.
