| Speed up forums
|
| (from various RFEs) | Implemented caching and cache preloading for user information etc. - many queries saved for an OK speed increase (v1.9).
|
| Mail to forum link needs improving
|
| Currently this polls the inbound account for each user's hit to the forum leading to some mail servers detecting a DoS attack. | Completely rewritten and working on my (live) site, but it was a bit of a kludge to avoid database changes (just a field to store the last time server was polled) so needs a bit of work before it hits v1.9. Improved threading too by using the subject line if thre is no in-reply-to header because many mail clients do not use in-reply-to. TODO use threading headers if they are there.

| Forum modules
|
| Lots to do here, hopefully in a backwards-compatible way
|
| Consider global change to make module paramaters available (via smarty->assign) to templates. |
|
| Object permissions are ignored in modules - correct this but leave old performance available via option 'noperms'. |
|
| Some formatting is done in the module PHP code rather than the template (eg prepending Forum Name:). | Correct this but leave the old data available in the array passed to the template for backwards compatibility.
|
| Implement new parameter 'id=' to specify forum(s). |
|
| Implement nonums paramater as in articles listing. Consider change to nonums wherever it is used to put the formatting in the template. |
|
| Remove forum bloat from commentslib
|
| Commentslib is nearly always included, but there is lots of stuff in there that only relates to moderating forums. | Back burner.
|
| Correct threaded forums implementation?
|
| It looks as though forums were intended to be threaded (optionally?) but I don't thinks this works. | Back burner.
