    How are you programming it? Are you using a framework for PHP? Or perhaps another language, or are you using a CMS/whatever.

    Nice work! I am working on a forum software myself, only really hobbyist purpose though. For the purpose of getting up my php and sql knowledge more. But here's some suggestions.

    Would be cool to have:
    • Username above avatar, instead of under it. Keep admin/mod/member status under it instead
    • Display some userstats in a box under the avatar.
    • Show the subforums in a list/table/flexbox instead of current "dropdown" menu.
    • No google recaptcha, use something else (… that doesn't belong to google, frankly I don't trust google.) like GraphComp 3d captcha.
    • Formatting options such as bbcode or markdown.

    But if we are talking about some even cooler features, I think it could be cool to have:
    • Bcrypt algorithms for password.
    • Thank feature or anonymous reputation points which can be given and taken from users (see evilzone forums).
    • Some kind of smaller post feed with the last x posts displayed.

    Well I probably have even more ideas, but it is best to get the basics down first.
