I noticed as I go through your code (and, you mentioned in your last post) that you seem to be including support for themes and subscriptions, but they don't seem to be all the way implemented yet.

What is your plan for the themes? I mean, how will they work?

And, what's the subscription thing? You'd be able to subscribe to a post? a forum? a category? all of the above? Emails come to the email address specified in the profile?

Sorry for all the question, just curious!

Subscriptions: http://eldorado.almosteffortless.com/topics/152

I haven't heard from that person for a while, though, so it looks like I might be on my own.

Themes: I'm not sure yet. Custom CSS is possible now, but I think I might just offer the ability to override any views with custom ones. That would be extremely flexible, but could cause compatibility problems down the line. We'll see, though. I'm hoping that custom CSS will do for a while until I iron down all the views.
