i honestly think that CodoForum could take Forum communities and Blog communities by storm.. you have a minimalist forum that is easy and pleasing to look at and work with..
but feature wise is lacking massively.. i know you guys are focusing on alot of stuff related to the permission atm and smaller details.. but i honestly believe that you guys have too work fast to get some more features and more dynamics to the admins and owners of this script.
Some of my suggestions include this..
Upvoting :
basically a way for the users to control which content should be viewed around the community.. this gives the users the feeling of reward when their posts get large amounts of up votes.
it also give the other users the idea that they're directly influenced the site, and makes them feel like they are apart of it. Some of the best biggest sites uses these features and are the reason why they have so many users..
"Facebook with likes" "Reddit with up votes" "Twitter with retweets"
this is a massive feature which i believe should be option in the script.. i would think that the feature that would suit this script the most would be similar to Reddit, with up-votes..
Sharing:
i think the ability to share things is important. on both the out wards sharing to other sites and the inwards sharing towards the Owners site..
for example it should be posible to Share the topics on the site to other communities like facebook, twitter and reddit in a non plugin way..
but at the same time The site should be able to share things from other sites to The codoforum should be importent also, like a built in script on the site that is linked to a button we can give to other sites to automatically share onto the Codoforum script, like the reddit or tweet or facebook sharing button on news websites or youtube, so users could quickly share these pages.
ofcourse none of our sites would be big enough for these sites to add to their sites, but users could add this button too their google chromes, so if they wish to share quickly it will bring them to the posting area with the formatting of the sharing quickly
Friends / subscribed users list:
it should be important to add friends or atleast be able to subscribe too users to follow them if you like their idea's and information, which will post their material on a alternitive News feed perhaps on the users front page, which will have all their friends or subscribes on it.
more interesting navigation for users:
maybe on the phone style site, the menu with all the categories are on the left hand side, which pulls out, so users will not have to go back all the way to the homepage to see other categories and also it keeps them neatly away on the site but still accessible.
on Site wise, with maybe adding the Topic areas on the left hand side, as physiology has alot too do with the layout of a site.. The right side is never as intersting as the left side, (Example would be reddit) and maybe adding another navigation area on the top below the header bar would be intersting also..
