i got ideas for the program:

1. Contacts - have option to delete contact

2. Default load to Online Users only, not Everyone

3. Maybe make it similar to AIM, where the offline users are in a category on its own, and online users are seperate when online, instead of having radio buttons for online and everone

4. Adding a Settings area so we can alter the colors. Each client might wanna alter the colors of the program, you know, to play around with it a little, and style it

5. Take the Inbox and Subscriptions button off the interface. move those to the Settings (if made) so users can select those as shortcut options themselves. also maybe make the New Messages turn into a link to the inbox if a message is there.

6. change VBulletin Messenger 1.x to "vBulletin Messenger", and add a "Help>About" drop down menu and have that show the version number as "vBulletin Messenger X.X", like regular IM clients have. but changing the vBulletin messenger to lowercase v and big B is a small edit, sicne vbulletin is vBulletin ya know

7. removing the extra text of contacts and forum that shows under the tabs when clicked. the forum tab shows forum with a + looking sign on the end or something. that extra text isnt needed, and maybe renaming Forum to New Post or Recent Posting (if this option stays)

8. Maybe interlacing this with cyb chatbox and other shoutbox mods on here that load realtime, might have to use some AJAX technology with it, dunno.

9. like i said a few post ago, having the images for the avatars pull from either DB or file structure. i just moved my images to DB and now my avatar is loading right. i altered the picture.php file to show the image right by removing the size codes. dunno how you can implement that on the client. maybe adding a option inside Tools>Settings for a option to show avatar or not, user choice.

10. allow users to make groups for the usernames on here like AIM and MSN messenger. i like to categorize my buddy list so i know who is who by either name and website or whatever.

11. adding a "log chat" option so if users wanna save chats or whatever, they can have the client write teh data to a text file on their drives, like AIM allows.

im sure ill come up with more in a few minutes
