Here are a few more suggestions for vB3.1:
When hover "last post" in main forum, show the topics of up to 5 new/updated threads (and how many new post each of those threads have), also show number if there are more than 5 new. Show how many new posts/views since last visit in a forum. Show in a post how many post that user had when it was made. Can make certain posts open for all to edit. Show number of times a post have been edited. Score polls - be able to choose number between numbers (eg. 1 to 5) and the averange will be shown. Show number of votes in poll in the topic list.
Set for each User Group:
Max sig size. Time delay before edit shows up. Min time between searches. Min time between posts. Max new threads per day. Max new posts per day.

Show how many new posts/views since last visit in a forum.


The query for this alone would kill boards over 100,000 posts.

Well some other forums have that, at least how many posts.

Like when you see that a thread is new/updated, it can also show how many of the posts that is new. Just remembering last amount of post and take that from amount now to see how many new.

# of posts is one thing.

# of VIEWS is the offending item. Actually, large forums have had to install a hack (whose functionality is integrated into vB3) that delays the frequency of "Views" generation to once or twice an hour.

As for "other forums" having posts/views, those forums are not database-driven.
