Middle_Man

The ability to fully skin your Buddy List, IM windows; anything within AIM.

How about completely custom, to match the main site's template. It's not good web practice to have two conflicting layouts for the same service.

The ability to have all your IMs tabbed in a single window.

No, I don't hate phpBB. In fact, I've used it in 5 or 6 different projects because it's easily skinnable and customizeable. I was just curious why you switched to it so prematurely, IPB was working fine for you to post-pone this a few more weeks to get the boards looking and working better. @Phase -...

[quote=RedXIII]could you make it so that the default fomatting hotkeys work?
(ie alt+b for bold, etc)[/quote]

What do you mean? phpBB forces you to use ALT+B for bold instead of CTRL+B for bold. And it's working for me, is it not for you?

Move from green and yellow -> blue and gray = a somewhat okay change
Move from blue and gray -> phpBB standard = total crap

Just wondering what's going on that made you switch to phpBB? Just cause, well, that's alot more work you need to put into your website then into middle_man...
