Hi !

So here are my 2 cent for the community extensions ;)
I´m still using one of the first releases oft cwt... There are many many 
bugs security holes and so on...
But there was only one community extension. I´ve extended the cwt spent 
a lot of time to create five extensions out of one because my 
cwt_communmity_pi1.php was at last 150kb huge...

Umm maybe i will switch to hoi community - i will try it in a test 
installation.

Some months ago i asked about an own new area for t.p.community. And i 
think we will get one from michael!
I think its time for a clean fast and new community plugin and maybe hoi 
can be it :)

Some things i´ve extended in cwt...

- Incoming and Outgoing Message Folder (you can see in the outgouing 
folder if the user has read  your message)
- Browselinks for Userlist
- Different Colors in Userlist for Admins and Mods
- Users have an Imagegallery in their profile
- Pictures, Age and Registerdate in Userlist
- Online Userlist
- Last Registered List
- Single Buddylist (only Username with online status)
... and some more little things (dont remember all yet :) sorry)

So thats for the moment!
I hope we will soon get our newslist an can talk there about the 
community extensions!

have a nice Day!!
