    Have have a few things I am trying to figure out if tiki will allow for them ( I would assume so as they are fairly...obvious?)

    1) A Means to identify that a user has a message with out them having to go into the message page (such as next to their name at the top once logged in)

    2) The ability to add a graphical identifiers to forums and posts that are new or have been modified since a user last logged in / read them. this is a biggie

    3) Signatures on the of the tiki forums. we have avatars, but signatures would be nice.

    4) e-mail to user when replied to in forums.

    Also the MyTiki menu option is not showing up on the left hand menu, which is making it fairly annoying for users to setup their preferences and such.

    Please let me know if anyone has any resolutions to any of these as I would really like to make the tiki a better place for my users

    Use the Unread Messages module.

    Not exactly, but you can use the New since last visit module to quickly show each user all the new items since their last login.

    Not available, but I believe there is a current request/wish item.

    You should have a Send email... option already, by default. What Tiki version are you using?

    Did you enable the Show MyTiki... option? Do you allow users to modify/change their information? Do you have the necessary permissions configured?
