A few fudforum feature requests, in no particular order:
1) Enable smilies by default yes/no
Ideally set in both admin (sets default) and by user, but just by the user is fine. I'd set to off but people can still use smile icons :) PM sorta has this feature.
2) Enable draft folder for posts/topics yes/no
One starts writing a post or new topic (or poll..) but decides to put it off for awhile and think things through and save it for later. The next day they login, finish, and post. PM has this feature.
3) Require an email address, yes/no
4) Require a name, yes/no
Even after disabling email confirmation, the email address is required. The name is always required too but I'd like the ability to make both these optional. These would be admin settings and if setting them also changes the register.tpl (moves email or name under optional heading), well, maybe, but doing that manually is fine. This might also be a feature request to toggle required/optional for EVERY profile setting but whatever... I just want the ability to create an anonymous forum (only require user/pass) :)
4) Option to utilize pear's pecl imagick extension (imagick_copy_resize()) instead of mogrify.
Not sure how valuable this is but my web host is considering allowing use of the imagick api but not directly execute imagemagick tools... PHP safe_mode users might benefit from this too.
5) If spell check is disabled, don't show the spell check button in the "Post form"
Because it's misleading.
6) If showing members is disabled, don't show the members link in the header (unless an admin).
This is also misleading.
7) Show topic views yes/no
If available I'd disable these statistics. This is nice and common but for my forum it serves no purpose, people don't need to know the number of views a topic has had.
8) Enable admin statistics/info override yes/no
Currently even when disabled admins see ips and a members list. How about extending this power to also include the "Forum Info on frontpage", "Public Stats", "Logged In Users List", "Allow Action List", and "Online/Offline Status Indicator" options. I (the admin and overseer of all) would love this, only viewing the ips is a tease :)

If you delete all smilies they would be disabled  As far as user is concerned they can turn-off smilies on a message by message basis.

No, no and did I mention NO!

Maybe.

Mogrify will no longer be used on needed, because avatar size checks will use getimagesize() function and disallow avatars greater then maximum dimentions.

It does not appear if spelling is disabled, if it does it is a bug, but I've not seen it happen.

Already in the next release.

No, because people would complain as to why they see those even though they disables them. I still get coupla 'bug reports' about ip display for admin/mod per month because people have disabled IP display but still see it cause they are logged in as an admin.

The thing is, like php.ini, the config file for the forum is getting rather big and the new version will add @ least 7-10 new option to existing 100 or so options. So I am rather reluctant to add any new options, since every option is yet another variable that needs to be registered every request.

I'd echo the request for users to control if smilies are displayed are not in a similar manner to how post notification/show avatars/include sigs/etc... are handled.
We just launched a board using FUD (replaced our existing boards) and folks are pretty vocal about smilies -- they either love 'em or hate 'em.
For what it's worth. <grin>
