Main Features:
* User's can start threads and reply to threads.
* User's cannot reply to their own threads or replies, until someone else does. Prevents double posting.
* Clickable Smilies/Emoticons. Choose your poison, they're a great way to show how you're feeling.
* Formatting Buttons
* Thread Sorting - topics older than 14 days are considered old, topics posted in the last 14 days are considered new. Newest threads/replies get "refreshed" to the top of the viewforum (subject to change). New replies to a thread get indicated with a green '+' next to the folder.
* Shows when a thread is locked, moved, or stickied.
* Breadcrumb viewing of where you are in relation to RagnarokHQ (the top of every forum page).
* Usertitles are based on user_access keyring. Each user is assigned a keyring value, depending on this condition depends on your usertitle and your access to this site.
* Register / Login / Manage Account (Account Summary) all operational.
* Tooltips up the Wazoo! - look for when you hover your cursor, there are many tooltips to find that explain icons and features of the forums sytem!
* Quoting System / Quoting Syntax - you can quote user's on the fly without having to reload the thread. Quoting has never been easier, use it to your advantage!
* User profiles / View Member(s) page.
* Ability to edit your threads/replies.
* More expansive preloaded avatar selection.
* Admin php backend for moderating.
* Ability to edit your own profile.
* View new/updated threads, ordered by last update perimeter (DESC).
* Added: Edit, Delete, Report, and Quote post as images instead of plain text.
* Multi-page for viewing threads (sorry it hasn't been implemented earlier).
* "Touch Thread"; moderators can bump topics to the top of the list if they wish to, so it makes the topic the most recent.
* A more expansive selection of selectable avatars. (More to come as Strayato gets around to it)
* Finished the rest of the account pages, including the well awaited PM system. Sections may be revised later but the core of which is operating fine.

Future Implementations:
* The Kudos System - the more you post threads, the more "rank/participation" you receive. Be careful though, if your posts are spammy, off-topic, out of place, or too short; user's can report your posts to a moderator and you can possibly lose "rank" because of it. If your threads have many replies, you will receive a lot of rank.
* Phase Out - very old posts will be automatically locked and put into the archive pages.
* Drops, Marin, Poporing Smilies, selectable in your site settings!
* "Ghosting" of moved threads.
* Remove the javascript notices with page redirect. Increased security.
* Various additional backend checks, such as that for double posting, etc.
* Uploadable sigs, possible fixed dimension requirements REQUIRED.
* Latest Forum posts will only show last topics replied to, and a seperate section that display your threads/replies THAT have been replied to.

Each update is coming along slowly. I'm sorry if some features don't look as nice as others. Most likely once everything is programmed there will be several revisions to make them better. Please leave all feedback, questions, suggestions, or kudos in: Official Thread: Site Suggestions/Bug Report
