-the ability to change the background color of the input boxes for the tagboard. Even though my css has those covered, it won't change.. o_O is it an iframe?

-the ability to make "« Forward # entries | Backwards # entries »" into our own words and place them wherever we want on the page

-i agree to what dracil said as well. if you must make the navbar force itself at the top all the time, at least make it so that everything else is under it with z-index or something... it's troublesome to figure out how to make the layout look the same for both members and non-members of tabulas. especially with gradient or patterned backgrounds. with the system now, everything gets pushed down making gradient/patterned backgrounds (that blend in with the main image) look off.

-what about color schemes for the navbar?

-latest comments tag? like that of wordpress

-content pages being php compatible?

-the ability to make our custom templates become "skins" which visitors can choose to view according to their liking. (and the option to turn this on and off)

Well, an option to not have the navbar always force itself to the very top of the page would be nice. Like how it was in the past. The current forcing itself to the top of the code wrecks the ability to use fluid CSS styles, which can still have the navbar at the top, but still let the rest of the page change dimensions properly based on the window size.

The navbar will change to an absolutely positioned z-index item, which shouldn't destroy relative layouts. But unfortunately the number of people abusing the ability to place the navbar wherever they want means I can't bring this feature back.
