When doing updates please remember that less is more in regards to size. It's enough that what was less than a 2K page (creating a new thread) is now more than 4K (horrific sizes, I know) - but the script runs slower the bigger it gets.

It would be very cool if your script was modular in the sense that it is easy to suss out what to delete because you don't need it, and it won't wreck the script. For example, I don't use smilies at all in my forums (my users vehemently abhors them!) so I don't need lots of extra code to do them properly - thus that is a part of the script I would delete.
