Suggestons:
* Enable Polls
* Copy/Modify Default theme and allow theme switching via profile like it says in the news ticker
Overall not much of a change on the front end from looking at the default theme... back end pretty similar to days of old?
95% of the work for SMF 2.0 has been done on the back end (and it is SUBSTANTIAL work). But you are correct, the front-end is pretty much the same, although look for a brand new theme coming to this board real soon!!
I'll enable the polls and theme switching now, thanks for the suggestions
