The forums module has indeed been a good feature of Seditio and Cotonti, but in my opinion it's lacking some basic features that you get out of the box with other forums systems nowadays.

Things like:

  • Subscribe to topic. Notify with instant notice, daily digest, via PM or email.
  • Icon in topics row showing to yourself if you already posted in a topic previously.
  • Nested quotes.
  • Reputation system allowing users to give a +1/like on a post. Bit like Trustmaster's 'Thanks' plugin, but show this per post so others can see the value of a post.
  • Option to quickly share a topic via social media and email.
  • Feature for users to rate a topic.
  • Filter threads on last so many days, rating, number of replies, number of views.
  • Feature for notifications when somebody quotes one of your posts, or replies to one.
  • Ability to use coloured usergroups. Useful for community websites with lots of different ranks/groups.

Just throwing in some ideas here.
