PHPBB3 Modifications?

[Ryan]

I'm about 50% through making a new skin, before I put it up I need some ideas on what to add.

I was thinking;

- Shoutbox
- Announcement area
- The obvious pages for DMCA etc.

And some things that include external JS files, but that's for another time,

I just need some suggestions that would make it a cooler place to be, the skin is looking pretty cool so far,

Any ideas?,

Or what would anyone recommend for a phpbb3 board,

Thanks in advance

Is vbulletin a valid recommendation?

Is vbulletin a valid recommendation?

The topic title is "PHPBB3 Modifications", Followed by a question mark, implying that I was enquiring about modifications related to PHPBB3, and not VB, thus concluding that vBulletin is not a valid recommendation, rendering your answer utterly pointless,

Cheers Luke

Well ryan sir you could download impex ( Modification ) then change your database to vbulletin thus modifying your PHPBB3 into vBulletin.

here are the list of mods on my phpbb forum

Shoutbox
Prime Quick Reply

The rest is just abit of code changing
what you are thinking about putting is good but if what you mean by Announcement area like guest announcement and memeber announcement just use this topic by el-jentel1

no need for mods

some one suggested to me the top 5 mod like on vb i have it if you want it

Still not a MOD for PHPBB, its more of a conversion aid.

I would no longer have PHPBB3 on my server, again making it a pointless recommendation,

So any serious answers?

EDIT: Thanks shadow.prx

Hey,

I'd recommend a ''latest posts'' mod if phpBB have one that is. A link checker bot would be good later on as having it at the start isn't such a good idea. Also, I personally like a logo switcher i.e. When you refresh another logo shows. That's all I can come up for now. Thanks.

Latest posts?, you mean on index, rather that username, post title shows up?

In my opinion you should keep it at a minimum, just add the modifications you really need, quick reply is a must, very useful, I used to use evil< 3's quick reply, simple and does the job.
