But I miss: 1. The icons in front of the messages in the lists 2. The line on the bottom of the start page were it said when and who made the last post
I understand... but I would not have any problem with that - all members could put something offensive anyware if they really wanted to - but as long as you know every member in person it is almost no risk, and the advantages of having visitors see all the active topic titles are outweighs the minuscule chance of misuse... IMHO...
But maybe you could have an option under "Main Forum Configuration" or "Feature Configuration"?
Or perhaps have the option to replace the "Moderator" column with "Active Topic Title"?
