Social Media
I was looking around and couldn't see any topics on maybe perhaps including social media into a core feature. I personal think this is something that a lot of users are looking for in today's world. This is something that other forum software have and is very much liked.

Having an area something to share topics, like topics or even have them in the index page.

Most people share on social media bY just copying and pasting the URL.
To me, a share button is not a convenience. It's a cry for help from the Admin.
Now if you're talking about Facebook login or Google+ sign-in, it's more interesting. But only if it creates a real account with all rights (except Admin maybe), and doesn't require an extra password to access your profile. (I'm not sure why dragooon did that in his plug on for Wedge. Can anyone think of a reason not to trust OAuth logins?)

I know in some cases like google+ you have to have OAuth in order for the login to work properly, I have set that a couple of times in the past and found that out the hard way. As far as the share buttons being a cry for help I can see that point of view. But also look at it as a way for members to share and bring in more traffic. I look at there is nothing negative about getting more members when some forum s struggle to even make it of the box.

login with : Facebook, Twitter or Google+ is good too. It lower the barrier of entry (sign up), you just need to approve the permissions.

I think something like this might be better hard coded, since it's a feature alot of people look for when looking at forum software.

Mod would be fine, I just thought that this was something that was needed.
