I like the ShoutBox suggestion, and same goes to the other suggestions.

[Doubleedge.]

Those look like they could be awsome, I was wondering why there was going to be a forum change, but I guess it's for the greater good?

[Frank]

stoopid

[Tomcat]

I would like the forums Suggestion To be added because of a lot of fail Ban/Respected Apps

Seems like something I would use, since I edit my posts a lot. Some of the other addons are fluff like the activity meter and the new theme but this one frankly is something that is on many other forums and works quite well.

Me want.

Edit: Added examples (yo dawg i herd you wanted edit so i put an edit in yo edit post so you can edit while you edit)

Look, two people who couldve benefited from it:

Sadly, Moo is speaking the truth.
Anyway, I liked the old design a bit better, but I guess that comes with time.

/Edit:
Also, two things. First, is it supposed to bring you back to the Front Page after you post even if you have "Return to this topic." active?
Then, will the Language Sections come back? :<

--EDIT--

i just tested it out and its working for me

I don't understand what the difference between a field for it and manually entering it?

[Bovicide]

There isn't much difference I suppose, but it looks nicer. Its like the Reputation system is to the karma system. Not really necessary, but still helpful.

@moo: wat? I just talking about this specific addon. I didnt say anything about krasher or anything.
