Hi guys!
I've got a quite old forum, which is starting to grow. That forum is an IP.Board, but the only problem is that it's nulled on an offshore host. Yes, yes, I know. I should have never started that, but IPB looked awesome It was a nice experience, however now I'd like to switch to something legal.
My choice was MyBB because it's flexibility & merge system.
I've already installed my copy of MyBB & successfully merged the IPB with it (more or less successfully, since it sometimes fails a lot [double enters everywhere, some code tags aren't converted, and some minor issues with Unicode stuffs)
So, I'd like to ask for some suggestions to make my forum better. I hope you can help me My knowledge of MyBB things is quite small, but as the time goes on, I'd like to gain some more experience
I'd like to use the latest, MyBB 1.8
About the theme:
I'm not sure if you can suggest some Mods for me, but I'd like to add some custom things, which makes my forum look a bit like to other, at least in functionality.
What I'd like to have is currently:
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Edit:
Added a screenshot of my old forum. ( Didn't want to link it, I'm not sure if it counts it as advertising )

About the theme:
- I'd like to look for something dark based, for my current topic I wouldn't like to chose a bright one.
- It would be great to see something wider. I hate if the theme isn't using the place on my monitor & "compresses" the content on the half of my monitor
- I don't really like Blue+Black color scheme
I'm not sure if you can suggest some Mods for me, but I'd like to add some custom things, which makes my forum look a bit like to other, at least in functionality.
What I'd like to have is currently:
- Shout box (I've seen several, which one do you suggest?)
- Recent topic, post etc ON THE SIDE BAR. (I've seen several, but all of them put it under my topics, but that's totally useless)
- Anything else which you could suggest me? Mods which can make experience on my forum better
Thanks for all the suggestions.
