I have a three requests for the next release and they would be game-changers to manage my forums:

1. Ability to select multiple topics and/or posts and edit them en-masse. In VBulletin there were check-box fields next to every topic/post where you could multi-select then do a mass change on the selected items such as move, delete, set sticky, unstick, etc etc.  Often I need to move many topics or posts at once because users converse in the wrong forum for a particular discussion and having to to do it one at a time takes forever. Or I just want to do some purging and delete a bunch of specific topics or posts.

2. Ability for users to Ignore other posters. A huge tool utilized on my VB forums as certain posters couldnt stand one another but otherwise got along great with everyone else. Great tool to keep the peace.

These two features are the only major functions I miss from VB. Nearly everything else is as good or better given the gvectors plugins.

3. Ability to turn on/off the expanded or collapsed view in threaded display mode for specific categories. Right now its a forum-wide setting. I like the threaded view and how it navigates my users and cleans up the display, but some of my categories have 40+ subforums and Id like that specific category to default to collapsed so it takes up less room on the screen, while my other categories with 5-6 forums can be allowed to display in expanded mode.
