Hello peeps.
Okay so I'm a novice web designer, currently running three major projects. The first two are backed by vBulletin boards, however I wanted to keep my latest project simple and clean, but did require some form of BB system. After checking out around 30 systems, I finally decided on the Seoboard for it's simplicity. Now then... Not forgetting the reason I selected this system (simplicity) there are one or two things I'd like to modify. Firstly, I'd like to introduce either an avatar, or signature feature. This is a nice touch to any forum allowing the user to personalize their posts, as well as the obvious identification functions. I suspect the most simple way to do this is to use the user information section as a signature box. Include that information into each post. If anybody has any ideas or tips on the above, I'd be pleased to hear them. Cheers 
BTW... Nice work SeaBoard designers |

| Signatures and avatars will be included in the next version (don't ask for a release date). There are no plans for usergroups currently. | ||

| So how do I assign a second admin, and where would I find the moderator options? | ||

Couple more questions...
Firstly, the page navigation links are seperated by a "/" character. Which file is that information contained in. I'd like to change it to "|" Secondly, the main reason I went with this system is because the page it has been designed to fit into in 500px wide. It all works well aside from pages which contain large text boxes such as the user profile page. These pages stretch just slightly outside my main page. How would I go about making the actual input box a few px smaller? |

In /code/skinning.php there's a function get_forum_path(). You can substitute the '/' for '|' there.
You can skin the board by editing the style sheet and the html templates. They are in the /skin/ directory. To find which template you need to edit, view the html source of a page and there you will see notices of which template is used for every part of a page. |

| Hristo, i personally do not think you should include the avatars in the next version! its is a fast and simple forum... in the future versions it will eventually mould into a slow image impacted forum... something you have tried to avoid. if people want avatars in their forum, they can edit the script (such as i did....) its not that hard people | ||

frazels,
if I keep the feature set like that, the forum is not going to become very popular. I don't like many of the things I will code, but users want them and users mean money to webmasters  The speed problem is not so badly affected by images because of caching. Page generation is more tricky. I will do my best to make the bloated version as fast as possible.
I will keep the 1.x version in the download area. |

Avatars loaded from other sites you could use instead, then the speed will go quite fast anyway.
