My biggest complaint is that the search feature could be way better. Also if something could help with the load times as well it be nice.
The search mods available seem to be geared towards making things simpler rather than powerful. What would you add to the current NWR search functionality?

Could we actually see about NWR approval of banners, so that they either make sense or at least aren't annoying or slow loading down?
Personally I loathe these. Waste of bandwidth no matter how fast loading or non-annoying they are. But there are mods around that allow you to show/hide avatars and signatures.

I don't see this as being particularly feasible. phpBB works on themes set by the administration and these have to be stored on the server. Some mods allow users to choose different themes but having one different theme per user just isn't possible.
