Have a look at some of the modules that author pane supports like userpoints and user titles. They very nicely integrate.

I just began using it and it's a huge improvement over the default Drupal modules. Now I'm looking at what other modules I can install to improve forums further.
Thanks Michelle!

I agree Advanced Forum in Drupal 6 is really no more than enabling the module (and the required author pane module), just have a look at the settings after installation and thats it. And its a great and easy way to enhance the basic Drupal forum a lot. I use it for all forums, thanks Michelle!

That warning is mostly from 5.x where you had to paste in code due to
the
limitations of the theme system. I should probably take that off now
that
5.x isn't supported anymore. It's really not that complex to set up. If you want the full forum experience, you need a bunch of helper modules but
AF
itself is pretty simple.

Most likely your theme is phptemplate based (almost all are), but you can verify by going to your theme directory and checking the .info
file
contained in that directory. There should be a line that says
"engine
= phptemplate"

To use this module I need to use a theme that is based onphptemplate.
How do I know if my theme is based on phptemplate? I use Pixture reloaded. I hope I don't have to change it... Daniel.
