Hello, i would like to suggest a few things to make this forum a bit more "comfortable/Interesting". Also i can help with the realization, because lot of these things i already did on the another forum which i'm administrating, so feel free to ask :)
1] Missing "Forum" button in Navbar on some pages.
- I know that the "FreeNAS" logo is hyperlinked to forum index, but the button can/should be also on the place, so the rest of the buttons will not jump left and right like crazy.
2] FreeNAS home page link in NavBar.
- There is no way how to get back from forum to the FreeNAS page, so a nice button will be usefull :]
3] Exclude Forums from What's New/FORUMHOME
- This is a nice hack for excluding some subforums from the What's new feature and also from the forum index page. So for example, i can see some posts from Italian section in What's New, but i rly don't care, because i don't speak Italian. With that hack, user can easily hide section to which are not interested.

4] vB version is still visible in page source
- Version of the vB was removed from the page footer, i assume for the security reasons. Anyway, the version can be found in the source code of the page.
By the way i strongly suggest to update the forum. There are many cool features (like "autosave", "CK editor" with TABLES, ... etc.)
5] Some mobile style will be pretty cool.
- I think a lot of people browsing web from their phones, me included. So some tiny and low data skin will be fine. I'm not talking about Tapatalk (i don't like this app), i mean only the skin. For example thisone is really fine.
6] Fix the "THANKS" hack
- The "thanks" hack is fine, but the counters are a bit weird. And also the position of the second line is wrong.
For example (sorry proto :D)
Thanks: 46 // This is probably how many times the user thanked.
Thanked 28 Times in 22 Posts // This counting how many times the user received "thanks"
I think, it is a bit confusing what is what, so i suggest to simplify these two lines

Easy and obvious :]
7] Advanced quick reply.
- Right now, the quick reply function giving only the basic text formatting. Having a full formatting bar will be pretty useful. Check this for the old version of vB, or this for the vB with CK editor (4.1.4+)
8] Thread TAGging
- "Force" people a bit to put some TAGs when new thread is created. It will help a lot when someone searching something.
X] Enough for now i think, but i have more ;)
Again, i can help you if you want, just send me a PM, we can discuss about it :)
