Please take a look at this forum:

Of note are the inline polls (very slick) and the avatar icons (multiple). I'm really amazed that this is the only place I've seen features like these. They really need to be used by more forums!!!

I'd LOVE to have real poll/questionnaire functionality in Xoops. Rather than continue copying the rest of the forums, would it be possible to branch in a different direction like these folks did?

I would really like to be able to have multiple icons per person under their avatar. Just little 25x25 images that users could choose themselves to show what they are interested in.
