> 2- Tags for quotes, code lines, images, in-text url's
> 3- Standart sub-thread fields, for example to list user's hardware
> 4- Most importantly, the ability to edit previous posts, which makes it

> b) make it a playground for tutorials before submitted to the wiki

> 2- integrating current users/profiles
> 3- keeping a design consistency in means of color scheme and whatnot
