The plug ins available for use on this forum are pretty good, here are a few I have installed at the moment, let me know what you think.

As well as embedding videos into posts nicely, works with Youtube and a whole host of others, the option to also incorporate Soundcloud / Mixcloud has been added.
I put in an 'external link alert' pop up. At first I thought it might be annoying having that every time you want to look off site, but I thought in the interest of safety, in case at any point we get a lot of spam on here, it might help people to see what the links are, as bots get cleverer with time.
Added the alert when you get a private message, which was surprisingly not on as default.
Have added a few extra buttons around the place, to make replying / quick replying easier.
I added topic descriptions, since there is a 50 character limit in topic titles, and I can't change that, thought it might be handy, especially if people are posting up gigs and polls.
Have added a Quote Highlighted Text plug in, makes it easier for quoting a post, literally just highlight it and a 'Quick Quote' box will appear.
Will add any more changes / neat little things in here as they are found. Will be sorting out the emoticons over the weekend, there is a box that has appeared next to quick reply saying extra smileys, but they're not added yet, coming.
