I wanted to make a suggestion as someone who has been a daily TDF browser for a little over 4 years. Things that I have thought would make things easier.

Is there an alternative forum format that allows for personalization?
A few things I had in mind are:
Creating a homepage of only "subscribed" or "favorited" sub-forums.
Connecting the already hosted doll websites such as coverdoll, doll album, and harem to the forum through interactive windows.
Options to remove threads or sub-forums you normally skip over from your screen.
Order threads by clicking it's stats.(i.e. Click replies = > infinity to 0 < 0 to infinity)
Customize emotes by being able to rearrange them to bring your favorites to the top.
Save font color and size according to each members personal preference.


ETC...

It's possible there's a forum software package out there, which is capable of doing all those things...

But changing this forum, into a forum like that, is something, which will be very hard, if not impossible to do.
Not all forum databases are the same, after all.

And I'm not sure, the majority of members would want such an advanced forum system, as a lot of members were complaining when we switched from the old forum software to the current one.
Which wasn't all too different...

There's a part of the site that can organize by clicking the column. On members you can order the replies or dates joined. Is there someway to use that on the forum? I'd like to be able to see threads without any comments that may be interesting to bring back up or grace the author with a reply.

also, like the ignore option for members why can there not be ignore options for threads or sub-forum. Maybe there is a way to instead use the already tools in place with this format.

Some very interesting suggestions there I'm no tech wizard when it comes to the forum software, but I do know that this forum theme is custom built, so that can't be changed.

I'll ask our tech guys to comment on this, as they are better qualified.
