Here are a variety of features from another service provider I believe would be highly benificial to us at sparklit:
* News fader - VERY handy
* Reserved usernames
* Delete all posts by a user
* Multiple 'groups' a user can choose to belong to and EACH membergroup has its own ranking system.
* You can create a forum template, without having to use CSS or html.
* you can assign over 20 privileges to moderators.
* Members can rate eachother.
* Apart from emailing all members you can PM them all as well. Also you can assign this power to moderators.
*You can edit how many posts a member has done automatically - excellent for dealing punishment or reward.
*You can make certain forums only accessible to certain usergroups.
*You can choose to have a certain forum where 'Posts do not count' - if a member posts there it doesn't add to the post amount. -excellent if you want a spam forum but you don't want the post count to increase
* There is a security log page where the admin can check what powers have recently been done on the forums by members and staff.
I don't have any hopes that someone will reply but they asked me to post here anyway.
