Customized forums

Coulee Region forums D6 2.x
[This is Michelle's site and is no longer active. Will try to put up a demo of it at some point.]
Green and light grey with custom icons but otherwise very similar to the Blue Lagoon style. Taxonomy image was used and the folder icons removed to give a unique image for each forum. The author pane was trimmed down to reduce scrolling. Custom code to print the role name as a title instead of using User Titles.

Energy-Models.com D6 2.x
Custom icons, node comments so that search is enabled, a custom ckeditor to look a little bit like stackoverflows w/ image insert available. Vote up/down for forum topics. Apache solr more like this block to generate related forum topics when users are looking at individual forum topics, flag friend, and user points.

Want yours here?

If you have a site you'd like to be considered for inclusion, leave a comment with the link to the forums, the version of AF, and a short description to let people know what's special about it. Please don't leave sites that are just one of the included styles with nothing customized unless it's a big name site or a very high volume site. There are over ten thousand sites using Advanced Forum and I'm only going to include ones here that really show off the module.
