Hey everyone, I've been trying to think of a few ideas for hacks to write, mostly because I'm going to be tackling a large project soon and I'd like to practice a little. So here's a few ideas, let me know what you think of them, and if you think they'd be worth coding or not.

1) vBwebcam - An addon script that allows a user to have a webcam image in their profile and the postbit of any of their posts.

2) vBwebring - a vB backed webring, somewhat similar to the now debunk pixelcore (http://www.pixelcore.com) website. Any member of the board can nter or remove their site from the webring through the usercp, and administrators can moderate through the admincp. A page dedicated to the webring allows users to upload their own 88x31 buttons, view all of their sites in the webring, their in/out click counts, and generate code to display on their page.

3) Profile Comments - Allow any member to leave comments in a user's profile, can be used either as a public private messaging system or user feedback system. Functionality would probably be included in a getinfo overhaul, perhaps with some additional features.

Let me know what you all think, I'd appreciate some feedback or other ideas!

1. Good idea
2. Not worth it (just use the memberlist)
3. Private only, public just like karma will be abused.

How about an integrated service support ticket system for corporate websites?

Now yes that hasn't been released and would be very welcome. Such an idea would take quite a while i would imagine so do your research (DeskPro.com is the best support ticket system IMO :p)
